A master-planned metropolis in the McCullough Mountains

With the picturesque McCullough Mountains as its backdrop and the neon-lit Las Vegas Strip just below, MacDonald Ranch residents are treated to the best of both worlds. The master-planned community is in the southeastern corner of the Las Vegas Valley and is perfect for those wanting to live a lavish lifestyle close to nature while just a short drive from big-city amenities. The 3,200-acre community is made up of several small neighborhoods catering to different lifestyles and interests, from retirees to families to outdoor enthusiasts and more. “MacDonald Ranch offers the best of the high-end luxury market while also maintaining a strong sense of community,” says Kristen Thomas, team lead at The Thomas Group at Real Broker LLC. Everything is very easily accessible, and with the 215 expressway right there, it will take you anywhere you want to go in the valley.”

The atmosphere is safe, beautiful, well-kept. I would absolutely choose to live here again, although the weather is too hot at times and I would prefer a cooler climate.

I've just moved out to Henderson, and so far I've seen no major crimes. Most of the crime is centered near Las Vegas, and it's traveled to Henderson in the past.
