Seneca at Southern Highlands
At the forefront of elevating the rising built-to-rent sector, Seneca fills a much-needed housing market gap with a luxury approach by offering resort-style living, premium amenities and community experiences.

Seneca, the developer of one of the country’s first luxury-for-lease communities featuring high-end, high-design rental homes focused on sustainability, well-being and convenience, announced the completion of construction on its debut neighborhood, Seneca at Southern Highlands, which achieved an outstanding 60% occupancy prior to completion.

Now fully completed and already far exceeding expectations with more than half of the homes leased pre-completion, the community reflects a strong demand for flexible, high-quality rental options amid the city’s influx of new residents and the increasing trend of individuals seeking upscale living arrangements without the long-term commitment of homeownership.

The newly finished amenities include Gather, a pool and lounge area carved into the side of the mountain and positioned above the community’s rooflines, offering breathtaking views and sweeping panoramas of the Las Vegas Valley.

Seneca at Southern Highlands also now features a sauna, barbecue/dining area and fire pit, providing residents with a hub for relaxation and socializing while enjoying the stunning natural surroundings. The impressive views extend to the new Socrates Dog Park, the dedicated dog park and run framed by a scenic mountain backdrop. These areas are designed as community gathering points to promote social, healthy and active living for both residents and their pets. Also new is a thoughtfully designed community garden overseen by a dedicated horticulturist that offers a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs.

“Our residents choose Seneca for the flexibility and freedom that renting provides without compromising on luxury or high-end living,” said Michael Stuhmer, co-founder and president of Seneca. “They want more than just a place to live – they seek an elevated lifestyle and a true sense of community, especially among those new to Vegas as the city continues to grow. Seneca provides an unmatched commitment to quality and service, taking care of everything from home maintenance to personal needs, so residents can enjoy a truly effortless experience. We are proud to have more than half of our homes leased before completion, a testament to the demand for what we offer.”

Situated on 10 acres and only a 15-minute drive from the iconic Las Vegas Strip, the collection of 50 luxurious homes is within the master-planned community of Southern Highlands. Seneca, a division of Christopher Homes which has been revered as the preeminent luxury homebuilder in the Las Vegas Valley for more than 40 years, combines the convenience of renting with the refined features and amenities typically only available in for-sale properties. With an emphasis on craftsmanship, artistic detailing and design, residents can enjoy their dream homes while maintaining the flexibility of a lease.

Constructed within the contours of a mountain and perched atop elevated topography for unobstructed views of The Strip and the Las Vegas Valley, Seneca at Southern Highlands offers two- and three-story residences for lease ranging from 2,200 to 2,700 square feet featuring three to four bedrooms and three full baths. The exquisitely designed homes by the renowned Christopher Homes exude sophistication.

As one of the country’s first single-family home communities fully powered by Tesla solar panels, Seneca sets a new standard for upscale, eco-friendly living, ensuring near-net-zero carbon emissions.

All residents also have access to Seneca’s extensive concierge program, which provides a diverse range of services. From facilitating the move-in process for an effortless move with preapproved recommendations for home maintenance services and furniture assembly to ongoing services such as home cleaning, dry cleaning and car washes along with pet services, including dog walking, pet sitting and grooming, Seneca provides a streamlined lifestyle.

With a gated entrance along with enhanced security, homes feature minimalist, light-filled designs with top-of-the-line finishes, high-end energy-efficient appliances, private maintenance-free backyards, expansive terraces and fireplaces. The residences integrate cutting-edge smart home technology for an innovative and efficient living experience, allowing residents to control their lighting, music, cameras, locks and more, all from their smartphones. Residents also have the option to lease fully furnished homes curated by Christopher Homes for a seamless move-in experience.

With plans for additional communities in the future, further enhancing its commitment to quality and introducing the Seneca lifestyle across the region, Seneca aims to create vibrant, community-focused environments that prioritize well-being and sustainability.
