A tight-knit community central to it all
Sandwiched between Henderson’s vibrant downtown district and the unique town of Highland Hills is Black Mountain. This southeastern Las Vegas Valley neighborhood isn’t named after the tallest peak in the McCullough Range but rather a well-known yet unnamed peak in the same range towering above and scattered with radio and TV towers. Confusing name aside, this tight-knit community offers some of the best valley and mountain views and provides easy access to a diverse selection of shopping, dining and entertainment. “There’s everything you could want within just a short drive, and we still maintain that small-town feel; everyone knows and looks out for each other,” says Denell Hahn, President of the Black Mountain Neighborhood Association. Hahn has lived in Black Mountain since she moved with her parents from southcentral Nevada in 1945. Hahn is also a board member of the Henderson Historical Society. “Whether you want to go to Downtown Henderson or the Strip or go hiking, it’s all right here. I’ve never wanted to move anywhere else.” Hahn has fought to keep the community close and from big development since spearheading the effort to form the neighborhood association in 2017. The 200-member Black Mountain Neighborhood Association was embroiled in a legal battle for several years against a local developer for building over the Black Mountain Golf Course—a landmark of the neighborhood’s heritage. “That’s where it all began,” she says. “Just a tiny community around a golf course, and so many of those people who helped start that, their families live here today.” The town was originally developed in the late 1950s around the beloved but now defunct golf course known as the “Founders 9.” While it went into bankruptcy in 2017, and development prevailed, the tight-knit community rallied around the historic neighborhood to keep it vibrant and active. “Even though houses ended up being built over there, we made our voices known and continue to fight for the preservation of our neighborhood,” Hahn says. “We still host meetings and events and get together as an association.”

A stone's throw from Downtown Henderson
Accessible highways mean you can quickly get where you want to go. “Everything is very convenient,” says Michael Bartok, President and Broker at Henderson Valley Realty. Just blocks from home, West Horizon Ridge Parkway and East Horizon Drive intersect, putting shopping centers close by for daily conveniences like banking, healthcare and groceries at Albertson’s. Horizon Village Square, west of the neighborhood, offers more shopping and dining options, like Ohjah Noodle House, CVS and the upscale but cozy Il Chianti Italian, which serves homemade pasta and Italian wine.
Downtown Henderson, known as the Water Street District, is only 2 miles from Black Mountain, where more trendy restaurants and entertainment await. The district is mostly home to family-owned establishments like Biscuits and Bourbon, a no-frills BBQ joint with pulled pork sandwiches, candied pork belly and Nashville Hot watermelon. Mojave Brewing Company and Gold Mine Tavern are perfect for a night out for a pint, live music and pool and the slots at the district’s Emerald Island Casino call to thrill-seekers. The venue was recognized in the Las Vegas Review Journal’s “Best of Las Vegas” contest in 2022, and residents can pick from over 450 penny slots to play until 3 a.m.

Spanish-style homes, condos and luxury custom properties
Black Mountain offers a desirable mix of older and new construction single- and multi-family homes on roomy lots. The housing landscape offers newcomers a mix of ranch-style homes, Spanish-inspired houses and modern, custom-designed properties with picturesque Vegas Strip and mountain views. Most homes were built in the early 1990s, ranging from $340,000 to over $1.3 million. “It’s a nice area,” says Bartok. “Black Mountain gives them a variety of options to choose from. Homebuyers who are used to spacious lots will find them here.” Black Mountain Ranch, a master-planned housing development by Lennar, offers three- to five-bedroom homes with an RV garage starting at $455,00. The neighborhood also offers one- and two-bedroom condos in the Black Mountain Condo subdivision, ranging from $183,000 to $230,000, with access to a community pool and spa. Buyers can expect to find three-bedroom, 1,300-square-foot homes on the lower end of the price range, up to six-bedroom luxury homes boasting over 5,000 square feet of space. A third acre or larger lot sizes are standard and great for backyard entertaining. Black Mountain Golf & Country Club subdivision boasts million-dollar custom homes. Most homes here are gated and offer resort-style backyards and spacious driveways for RVs or other toys. While higher-end homes have better views and amenities, most residents have spacious pools, multi-car garages and well-kept lawns.

The Water Street Plaza and Amphitheater is another popular spot for concerts, watch parties for the Golden Knights, the Cinco de Mayo celebration and the three-day St. Patrick’s celebration, one of the largest events in the state with a car show and a parade. The community is also home to one of the oldest Latter-Day Saint organizations in the city. A central part of the entire Henderson area’s culture for over 50 years, Black Mountain Stake organizes “Community Day” every year, uniting as many as 500 people for local service projects, like cleanups at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve.
