If you want guard-gated privacy without the scale of a massive master plan, Roma Hills may be the Henderson pocket you have been hoping to find. You get space, security, and custom design in a quiet hillside setting near top amenities. In this guide, you’ll see where Roma Hills sits, what makes its homes and lots special, and how to approach a smart purchase or sale here. Let’s dive in.
Location and setting
Roma Hills sits in the foothills of Henderson within the broader MacDonald Ranch and Green Valley area. The neighborhood is officially identified in the City of Henderson’s subdivision map, with a corresponding HOA polygon for the Roma Hills Owners Association. You can view the area context and neighboring master plans in the City’s Open Data master plans layer, confirm the subdivision in the Subdivisions layer, and see the HOA boundary in the Home Owners Associations layer.
Set between MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya in the McCullough foothills, many homes take in elevated views toward the Las Vegas Strip and the valley. Curving streets and limited through-traffic contribute to a calm, low-density feel.
Small scale, big privacy
Roma Hills is intentionally intimate. Local reporting and community summaries place the enclave at roughly 140 to 144 lots or homes. The Las Vegas Review-Journal has cited about 144 lots, while other sources note counts closer to 140. Because different sources may count lots vs. completed homes, confirm the current figure with the HOA or county records.
Lots and architecture
Compared with typical suburban lots in Henderson, parcels in Roma Hills are notably larger. The Review-Journal reports lots are commonly one-third acre or larger, with several parcels extending beyond a half acre and some estates exceeding an acre. Homes trend custom or semi-custom, and many community summaries place most properties in the 3,000 to 8,500 square foot range, with select estates larger. The result is a streetscape that feels mature and varied, from Mediterranean and Tuscan influences to newer modern lines.
The Obsidian enclave by Blue Heron
Inside Roma Hills, Obsidian is a gated modern enclave by Blue Heron. These desert-contemporary homes emphasize glass, indoor-outdoor flow, and sculptural forms, with plans often in the 5,000 to 7,700 square foot range. Learn more on the builder’s Obsidian community page.
Security and on-site features
Roma Hills is a guard-gated community, and the HOA oversees neighborhood standards and access. You can verify the HOA boundary and official naming in the City’s Home Owners Associations layer. Within the gates, residents enjoy community green space and a quiet, low-traffic street network. The setting against the foothills enhances a sense of privacy and, for many homes, view orientation.
Nearby amenities
You are minutes from resort, dining, and retail options. The District and Green Valley Ranch Resort provide a mix of restaurants, entertainment, and services, with details available on the resort’s official site. Golfers often look to nearby DragonRidge Country Club in MacDonald Highlands; explore membership and amenities on the DragonRidge site.
Outdoor access is a hallmark of this area. Henderson maintains a broad network of parks and trails, including foothill connections and regional paths toward Sloan Canyon. See current park and trail resources via the City’s Parks and Recreation pages.
Access and commuting
Located just south of the I-215 beltway, Roma Hills offers quick access to the Green Valley retail corridor and major employment centers. Drive times vary with traffic, but the central valley and Strip are within a convenient reach for daily needs and entertainment.
Market snapshot and value drivers
Pricing in Roma Hills spans a wide range, reflecting lot size, view corridors, architectural style, and level of renovation or new construction. Recent public listings and sales show smaller or older customs at the lower end of the luxury spectrum and modern or extensively updated estates, including Blue Heron builds, at the high end. For an accurate read on current values, request a live MLS report and on-the-ground comps.
Key value drivers to consider:
- Lot size and privacy. Larger parcels and corner or cul-de-sac positions can command premiums.
- View orientation. Strip and valley views typically elevate pricing.
- Architecture and condition. Modern, move-in-ready or newly built homes tend to lead the market.
- Micro-location. Proximity to community green space or desirable street positions can influence demand.
Is Roma Hills a fit for you?
Roma Hills may be ideal if you:
- Prefer a small, guard-gated neighborhood over a large master plan.

How to buy or sell well in Roma Hills
