Sun City Anthem Center is Henderson's most amenity-rich 55+ village: 1,800+ Del Webb single-story homes anchored by the 50,000-square-foot Anthem Center and the 18-hole Anthem Course. City of Henderson police, fire, and water cover every street, and Nevada's zero state income tax makes the financial case for retiring here.
Sun City Anthem Center is known as the amenity-proximate village inside Sun City Anthem — the section built around the 50,000-square-foot Anthem Center flagship facility, home to resort pools, championship pickleball and tennis, a grand ballroom, 100+ clubs, and the social programming that makes Sun City Anthem one of the most recognized active adult communities in the country.
It is purpose-built for active adults 55 and older who want walkable access to resort-style recreation, a deep social calendar, single-story living, and Henderson's safety and healthcare infrastructure — without the cost and complexity of a traditional private country club.
Morning laps in the resort pool, a fitness class or pickleball match at the Anthem Center, lunch on the patio, and an afternoon club meeting or golf at the Anthem Course — with daily shopping and healthcare errands handled in ten minutes along Eastern Avenue. Most residents describe Sun City Anthem as the most socially active they've been since their working years.
Sun City Anthem Center sits in the southern Henderson hills of ZIP 89052, about 15 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, within the broader Sun City Anthem master plan near the McCullough Range. The Anthem Center is at 2450 Hampton Road.
Quick Answer
Yes — by most active adult measures, it is one of Henderson's top retirement addresses. The 50,000-square-foot Anthem Center, more than 100 clubs, and the 18-hole Anthem Course deliver the social and recreational infrastructure that defines fulfilled retirement living. Henderson's safety rankings, low-tax Nevada environment, and proximity to healthcare add the practical layers. The honest trade-offs: the 55+ restriction limits resale to an age-qualified pool, HOA dues are meaningful at $200–$350 monthly, and the ZIP 89052 market premium reflects the community's national reputation.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Sun City Anthem Center — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put roughly 4,500 residents inside Sun City Anthem Center itself, with a median age of approximately 68 and 90% homeownership.
The Census does not break Sun City Anthem Center out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the community, our closing data shows an overwhelmingly retirement-age population, predominantly owner-occupied, with strong representation from California, the Pacific Northwest, and Midwest relocators drawn by Nevada's zero income tax, Henderson's safety, and the Anthem Center's amenity anchor.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Sun City Anthem itself is essentially built out — the plan has been complete for over a decade — while its parent city grows steadily: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts. The relevant growth driver for Sun City Anthem is the national retirement migration wave, not local population expansion.
Inside Sun City Anthem Center, growth means turnover, not expansion: the community is built out, so demand comes from national retirement migration rather than local population pressure. That is the investment logic — a nationally branded Del Webb community with no new supply competing against it, while the wave of Baby Boomer retirements continues to feed the active adult buyer pool.

Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.

Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Sun City Anthem Center's economic backdrop is Henderson's healthcare, retail, and government job base. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and Henderson incomes run well above the county median — the professional retiree population that flows into Sun City Anthem reflects that regional income level.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
Sun City Anthem Center is well-positioned for Henderson daily life: daily shopping and healthcare within 10 minutes, the Strip and airport each about 20 minutes via I-215. Mean Henderson commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — shorter than the coastal-metro averages most relocators leave behind, and largely irrelevant for fully retired households.

Quick Answer
Most Sun City Anthem Center purchases close in 30–45 days — Nevada uses escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash buyers (common here from California proceeds) can close in 7–14 days. The 55+ age verification and HOA resale-package delivery each add a few business days; budget both from the start.
Quick Answer
Most Sun City Anthem Center buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional loans are standard across the $400K–$700K range; VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Many buyers arrive with California home-sale proceeds and purchase in cash. On the $530,000 plan midpoint, plan roughly $53,000 (10%) to $133,000 (25%). Jumbo financing enters above $766,550, which applies to premium golf-frontage lots. An all-cash purchase streamlines the 55+ age-verification timeline.
Sun City Anthem Center FAQ — 18 Answers
Across the ZIP 89052 area — shared with Anthem, Seven Hills, and portions of Green Valley — the median list price is $688,950 per Las Vegas REALTORS, with a $660,000 closed median over the past hundred days. Inside the Sun City Anthem Center village itself, plan $400K for interior-lot single-story villas and up to $700K for golf-course or mountain-view estate homes on premium lots.
The Anthem Center at 2450 Hampton Road is Sun City Anthem's flagship 50,000-square-foot recreation hub: resort-style pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a grand ballroom, arts studios, and meeting rooms supporting more than 100 chartered clubs. It anchors the lifestyle the community is built around — tour it before you tour homes, because the facility is the product.
No — Sun City Anthem uses controlled access points and an active neighborhood watch rather than staffed gates. That keeps HOA dues at $200–$350 per month while still funding three recreation centers and extensive programming. Henderson ranks among America's safest large cities per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, which provides strong baseline comfort. If staffed gates are essential, Sun City Anthem still allows buyers to enjoy its amenities from a non-gated setting.
Expect $200 to $350 monthly, covering all three Sun City Anthem recreation centers — including the 50,000-square-foot Anthem Center — plus pools, fitness, common-area maintenance, and 100+ club programming. For the amenity load that coverage delivers, the dues represent strong value. Review the association budget in the resale package during escrow before removing contingencies; dues adjust annually.
At least one permanent resident per household must be 55 or older, and no permanent residents under 19 are permitted — consistent with the federal Housing for Older Persons Act. Guest visits of any age are permitted within the association's guest-stay guidelines, typically 30–90 days. Age verification is handled during the standard Nevada 30–45-day escrow. Have documentation ready and ask our team to confirm current association rules before writing an offer.
The Anthem Course — an 18-hole championship layout — winds directly through Sun City Anthem's neighborhoods and is accessible from the Center village. Residents receive preferred rates, and homes with fairway frontage or mountain views from rear lots are the most sought-after in the community. Golf is pay-to-play rather than a mandatory membership, which keeps carrying costs predictable. Ask our team to filter for course-adjacent listings if golf-course frontage is the goal.
More than 100 chartered clubs operate across Sun City Anthem: pickleball and tennis leagues, art guilds, book clubs, organized travel groups, card clubs, fitness classes, and community theater. The Anthem Center's ballroom and meeting rooms anchor the social calendar, which rivals the most active 55+ programs anywhere in the country. Homes nearest the Center put nearly every club and activity within walking distance — proximity to the facility is the lifestyle premium.
Yes. The 55+ restriction governs permanent residents, not guests. Grandchildren and family of any age are welcome to visit and stay temporarily, typically within 30–90-day windows set by association rules. Extended stays beyond those windows may require written approval. Request the current guest-stay policy in the resale package during escrow so summer visits and snowbird season both fit within the rules without surprises.
Sold homes across the ZIP 89052 area over the past hundred days averaged a median of 31 days from list to accepted offer per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, on 342 active listings and a brisk pace of closings. Anthem Center-proximity homes — especially those with golf-course or mountain views — typically move faster than the ZIP-area median because buyer demand for the specific location is narrow and motivated.
Nevada's effective property tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor — about $2,800–$4,900 annually on the $400K–$700K Sun City Anthem Center price band. Annual increases on a primary residence are capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, so taxes are predictable over a long hold. Long-held homes often carry abated assessed values; verify the post-sale reset with the Assessor before budgeting.
Practical and short. Shopping, dining, and healthcare sit within ten minutes along Eastern Avenue, St. Rose Parkway, and the Green Valley Ranch corridor. The Strip and Harry Reid Airport each land about 20 minutes away via the I-215 beltway, and Lake Mead is roughly 15 minutes east via Lake Mead Parkway. Most daily errands never require a freeway — which suits low-hassle retirement living. According to the City of Henderson, mean Henderson commutes run near 25 minutes.
The fundamentals are strong: a nationally recognized 55+ brand, Del Webb quality construction, the Anthem Center amenity anchor, and the 89052 ZIP's $660,000 closed median over the past hundred days. The 55+ buyer pool is deep and nationwide, driven by retirement migration to low-tax Nevada. Because Sun City Anthem is essentially built out, no new supply competes with existing homes. Investors should note that age-restricted communities limit the tenant pool — long-term owner-occupier demand is the thesis, not short-term rental.
Three full recreation centers: the flagship 50,000-square-foot Anthem Center with resort pools, fitness, tennis, pickleball, ballroom, and arts studios; plus two additional centers with pools and programming. The 18-hole Anthem Course offers resident-preferred rates. Sixty-three-acre Anthem Community Park is nearby with sports fields, trails, and a dog park. HOA dues of $200–$350 per month fund all three centers. The Anthem Center alone would cost far more as a standalone club membership.
Four distinct sub-zones frame the village around the Anthem Center: Golf Course Homes (fairway frontage, $575K+), Center Walk (walking distance to the Center, $475K+), Mountain View (elevated lots with McCullough Range views, $500K+), and Interior Neighborhoods (well-maintained value lots, $400K+). The hierarchy is largely proximity-driven — closer to the Center plus course or mountain views commands the top price. Every sub-zone is single-story per Del Webb's 55+ design philosophy.
Five things move real money here. One: age verification — confirm all permanent residents qualify before writing an offer. Two: HOA dues and budget — review the full resale package including reserves and any pending assessments. Three: proximity premium — Center Walk and golf-frontage homes carry meaningful premiums over interior lots. Four: tax reset — long-held homes re-assess post-sale; verify with the Clark County Assessor. Five: 55+ buyer pool — plan resale timeline around that demographic's demand cycle.
Most Sun City Anthem buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional loans are the standard here — FHA works across most of the $400K–$700K price band, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. On the $400K floor, plan roughly $20,000 (5%) to $80,000 (20%); on the $700K ceiling, plan $35,000 (5%) to $140,000 (20%). Jumbo financing enters the picture above $766,550 on premium view or golf-frontage lots. Many cash buyers from California relocations skip financing altogether.
Most purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers add time for appraisal scheduling. HOA resale-package delivery — which includes dues, budget, rules, and age-verification documentation — adds a few business days. The 55+ age verification is part of the escrow checklist; budget it in from the start rather than treating it as a surprise step.
The 100+ chartered clubs are the headline: pickleball and tennis leagues, fitness classes, art guilds, travel clubs, card and game groups, and community theater — coordinated through the Anthem Center's ballroom and meeting rooms. Beyond clubs, the Center hosts seasonal dances, lecture series, craft shows, and community theater productions. Proximity to the Center turns participation from a drive into a walk. Most residents who tour the center before the homes say the club calendar closed the sale.

Eight questions Sun City Anthem buyers search most often — answered with specifics you can verify: the 55+ age-restriction rules from the City of Henderson, ZIP 89052 market prices from Las Vegas REALTORS, Henderson safety rankings from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, and plan facts from Del Webb community records.
Henderson, Nevada — specifically within the Anthem corridor of southern Henderson, ZIP 89052. Henderson provides police, fire, and city services. Sun City Anthem Center is part of the broader Sun City Anthem master plan, not a separate city or municipality.
89052. This ZIP is shared with Anthem, Seven Hills, and parts of Green Valley — so area-level statistics reflect a broader corridor than Sun City Anthem Center alone. Plan-specific pricing ($400K–$700K) is narrower than the ZIP-area median of $688,950.
No. Sun City Anthem is the 55+ active adult community within the broader Anthem master plan. Anthem Henderson also includes all-ages neighborhoods — Anthem Coventry, Anthem Highlands, Anthem Park, and Anthem Country Club — that do not carry the 55+ restriction. Sun City Anthem is a distinct village within the Anthem footprint.
Established in 1999, Sun City Anthem Center's homes are roughly 25 years old — newer than most of Green Valley, older than Inspirada or Cadence. Del Webb construction quality is solid, but 25-year-old HVAC systems and water heaters are on normal replacement cycles. Budget a full mechanical inspection and verify remaining roof life.
Within the community, yes — golf carts and walking paths connect neighborhoods to the Anthem Center, golf course, and Anthem Community Park. For external errands, Sun City Anthem is a car-first community: daily shopping and healthcare are 10 minutes by car, and the wider Henderson corridor requires driving.
About 15 miles — plan roughly 20 minutes via the I-215 beltway to I-15, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport is similarly ~20 minutes. The distance is intentional: Sun City Anthem's setting in the southern Henderson hills provides quiet, natural scenery rather than proximity to casino activity.
It regularly ranks among the most recognized 55+ communities in Nevada and nationally, driven by the Anthem Center's 50,000-sq-ft recreation anchor, 100+ clubs, championship golf, and Del Webb's construction pedigree. Henderson's safety rankings and Nevada's zero income tax add the practical layer. The tradeoffs are price — ZIP 89052 is a premium market — and HOA dues at $200–$350/month.
Yes. The same Anthem area includes additional options our team can show: for a more intimate gated setting, nearby alternatives in the Anthem corridor exist. For a broader Henderson 55+ search, explore our dedicated 55+ communities guide covering the full active adult inventory in Clark County.
