Painted Desert Homes for Sale | Guard-Gated Golf Community, Las Vegas

The Community

An established oasis in the northwest valley

Tucked just off U.S. 95 and the 215 Beltway, Painted Desert wraps low-maintenance condos and townhomes and spacious single-family homes around lush, mature landscaping and the fairways of its championship golf course. It's a rare mix of home styles behind one guarded gate — with the amenities of a large planned community and the settled, tree-lined feel of an established neighborhood.

The community spans roughly 460 acres and about 1,600 residences — streets named for golf legends, like Byron Nelson Lane, hint at its roots on the course.

At the Heart of It

Painted Desert Golf Club

The community grew up around an 18-hole championship course designed by Jay Morrish. Opened in 1987 and a former host of the Nevada Open, it threads desert terrain and open space through the neighborhood — the green backdrop nearly every home in Painted Desert is measured against.
