The best neighborhoods in Henderson, NV for 2026, refreshed on 12 months of MLS closings: Cadence (648 sales, $485,000 median), Anthem, Inspirada, Green Valley, Lake Las Vegas, Seven Hills, MacDonald Ranch, Sun City Anthem, Whitney Ranch, and Black Mountain, with what each area is best for and how to choose.

The best neighborhoods in Henderson are not a single answer. They depend on your budget and on whether you want walkable amenities, a newer home, a 55-plus community or a guard gate. The names most buyers start with in 2026 are Green Valley, Anthem, Seven Hills, Lake Las Vegas, Inspirada and Cadence, and each fills a different need and budget.

According to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, Henderson closed 5,661 home sales in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026 at a $489,900 median, in a 32-day median days on market, and carried 2,505 active listings at a $529,900 median ask, or 5.3 months of supply. That single figure hides an enormous spread, from Whitney Ranch at a $429,000 median to MacDonald Highlands at $4,000,000. This guide walks through the main neighborhoods by budget and type, with 12-month numbers and honest trade-offs.

By 12-month MLS closings through September 18, 2026, the best Henderson neighborhoods to start with are Green Valley (established, $485,000 median), Anthem (hillside villages, $650,000), Cadence and Inspirada (newer master plans, $485,000 and $559,200), Sun City Anthem (55-plus, $588,500), MacDonald Highlands (guard-gated, $4,000,000) and Lake Las Vegas (waterfront, $659,900). Henderson's median was $489,900, so budget narrows the list first.

  • Cadence closed 648 homes at a $485,000 median, the busiest master plan in Henderson, with 64% new construction.
  • Green Valley homes sold in a 22-day median, the fastest of any Henderson master plan in the pull.
  • Anthem's 554 closings ran a $650,000 median, and Sun City Anthem's 348 ran $588,500 with 4.3 months of supply.
  • Lake Las Vegas carried 11.8 months of supply and a 59-day median, so waterfront buyers hold leverage.
  • Shortlist two or three neighborhoods, tour at different times, and check each parcel for SID or LID balances.

Data note: Every neighborhood figure in this guide comes from Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, with closings re-pulled by closing date on October 26, 2026, covering closings from September 19, 2025 through September 18, 2026 and active listings as of September 18, 2026, grouped by recorded subdivision (plat) name so a master plan aggregates all of its villages. Months of supply is active listings divided by average monthly closings. MLS closings exclude builder-direct sales that never hit the MLS, which understates new-build activity in Cadence and Inspirada. These are directional community medians, not appraisals; verify any specific address with us before you write an offer.

What are the best neighborhoods in Henderson?

The main neighborhoods cluster into a few groups: established (Green Valley, Green Valley Ranch), newer master plans (Cadence, Inspirada), 55-plus (Sun City Anthem, Solera at Anthem, Sun City MacDonald Ranch), guard-gated luxury (MacDonald Highlands, the Estates at Seven Hills, Lake Las Vegas SouthShore) and lower-priced (Whitney Ranch, Black Mountain).

The market context for all of them is the same. According to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, the four-city market closed 27,746 homes in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026 at a $445,000 median and a 30-day median days on market, and Henderson's 5,661 closings at $489,900 sat a full $44,900 above that. Las Vegas REALTORS reported a valley-wide single-family median of $470,000 for September 2026. The right neighborhood comes down to your budget, the kind of home you want, and how you want to live, whether that's golf and gates, a resort lake or a walkable center. Our Henderson city hub tracks the wider market.

One point of confusion worth clearing up first: most of these "neighborhoods" are nested. Sun City Anthem, Solera and Anthem Country Club all sit within the Anthem area in the City of Henderson. Green Valley Ranch is a district within the broader Green Valley area. Lake Las Vegas straddles the eastern edge of Henderson near the Boulder City line, inside Henderson city limits and CCSD zoning, not a separate town. Knowing which envelope you are buying into matters, because the HOA layers, tax districts, and school zones follow the nested boundary, not the marketing name. Henderson runs its own police department rather than relying on Las Vegas Metro.

How do Henderson's six master plans compare on sales, prices, and supply?

Before the neighborhood profiles, here is the head-to-head. The six largest master plans in Henderson closed 2,187 homes between them in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, which is 39% of every home sold in the city. The table groups each master plan's villages by recorded plat name, counts homes built in 2025 or later as new construction, and computes months of supply from active listings as of September 18, 2026.

Henderson's six master plans compared: 12-month closings, median sold price, price per square foot, median days on market, new-build share, and months of supply (Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, with the Anthem row rechecked November 1, 2026; closings September 19, 2025 to September 18, 2026; actives as of September 18, 2026)
Master plan12-month closingsMedian soldSold price per sq ftMedian days on marketNew-build share (built 2025 or later)Active listingsMonths of supply
Cadence648$485,000$2484064%2484.6
Anthem (plats naming Anthem, including Sun City Anthem and Anthem Country Club; Solera's plats are not counted)554$650,000$308340%2194.7
Inspirada334$559,200$2563415%1435.1
Green Valley268$485,000$269220%1115.0
Lake Las Vegas264$659,900$3295934%25911.8
Seven Hills119$655,000$298300%666.7

Three things stand out. First, Cadence is Henderson's volume leader by a wide margin, and 64% of what sold there was built in 2025 or later, which means its $485,000 median is a new-construction price, not a resale price; the equivalent resale in Green Valley costs the same money for a mature neighborhood. Second, days on market separates the established plans from the resort one. Green Valley's 22-day median and Anthem's 34 reflect deep, steady demand, while Lake Las Vegas's 59-day median and 11.8 months of supply reflect a waterfront market where buyers can afford to be patient. Third, price per square foot tells you what the median is buying: Cadence at $248 and Inspirada at $256 deliver the most house per dollar, Anthem at $308 and Lake Las Vegas at $329 carry a premium for views, gates, and water. The MacDonald Ranch and Highlands area, covered in the luxury section below, is a seventh market of its own at 160 closings and a $1,978,250 median.

How do you match a Henderson neighborhood to your budget?

Choosing a Henderson neighborhood is about matching the area to your priorities, not chasing a single winner. The 12-month medians below, from Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, show where each priority lands on price.

Henderson neighborhoods by priority, with 12-month median sold price for the window ending September 18, 2026 (Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026)
PriorityTop neighborhoods12-month median sold

The practical move is to shortlist two or three neighborhoods that fit your budget, then tour them at different times of day. Our buyer resources walk through that process, and the live valley home search lets you filter Henderson by price and community. Schools are assigned by address, so use the district's zoning search for any specific home.

What are Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch like?

Green Valley is Henderson's older master-planned area, anchored by The District at Green Valley Ranch, an outdoor center with restaurants and shops. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, Green Valley's plats closed 268 homes at a $485,000 median and $269 per square foot, in a 22-day median days on market, the fastest of any Henderson master plan, with 111 active listings and 5.0 months of supply.

Green Valley Ranch specifically runs a step higher and faster. Its plats closed 125 homes at a $516,100 median and $299 per square foot in a 20-day median, with 42 active listings at a $499,900 median ask, 4.0 months of supply. What buyers get is maturity: grown trees and a town center already in place. The ZIP-level picture around it is broad: ZIP 89074 closed 635 homes at a $451,500 median and ZIP 89014 closed 384 at $420,000, with 35% of 89014's closings condos or townhomes, so the entry to Green Valley is lower than the single-family median suggests.

It also anchors our guide to the most walkable neighborhoods in Henderson. By our free-flow road model on OpenStreetMap data, The District is 11 to 13 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport's Terminal 1 and 13 to 17 from the Strip at Bellagio, without traffic. It isn't the cheapest part of Henderson, and a 20-day median means a well-priced home doesn't wait long.

What is Anthem like?

Anthem is a large hillside master plan in southern Henderson known for elevation, views and gated villages. It spans a wide range, from Sun City Anthem to the guard-gated Anthem Country Club, and the higher you go, the bigger the views and the prices. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026 and rechecked November 1, 2026, plats naming Anthem closed 554 homes at a $650,000 median and $308 per square foot, in a 34-day median days on market, with 219 active listings at a $668,000 median ask, 4.7 months of supply. None of those closings were built in 2025 or later.

The nested communities inside Anthem trade very differently, and buyers need to know which one they are looking at. Sun City Anthem, the 55-plus community covered below, accounted for 348 of those 554 closings at a $588,500 median. Anthem Country Club, the guard-gated golf enclave, closed 101 at a $1,650,000 median with only 3.4 months of supply, and its $8,259,780 top sale was the highest closing in the master plan. The other 105, at a $625,000 median, include Anthem Highlands, which closed 43 at about $525,000, and 15 at Terra Bella, a condo community its listings describe as 55-plus. Solera at Anthem, a separate and smaller 55-plus community, isn't in the 554, because its plats carry the Solera name. It closed 106 at a $421,500 median with 3.1 months of supply. Counting it would make 660 closings at a $589,500 median.

For buyers who want views and gates without new construction, Anthem is a natural place to look. Its country-club enclave also appears in our guard-gated communities hub, and the Anthem master plan guide breaks the villages down.

Which Henderson master plans have the newest homes and parks?

Cadence and Inspirada are the two to compare. Inspirada is a master plan in southern Henderson built around parks, sports fields and trails. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, it closed 334 homes at a $559,200 median and $256 per square foot in a 34-day median, with 143 active listings and 5.1 months of supply, and 15% of its closings were built in 2025 or later. Cadence, in the city's east, closed 648 at a $485,000 median and $248 per square foot, in a 40-day median, with 248 active listings, 4.6 months of supply, and 64% of closings built in 2025 or later. RCLCO's 2025 ranking put Cadence at No. 3 nationally, with 1,247 new-home sales.

The ZIP-level data confirms the pattern. Cadence's ZIP 89011 was the single busiest ZIP code in the four-city market with 1,261 closings at a $482,000 median, 41% of them built in 2025 or later, and sellers there received 97.3% of original list price. Inspirada's ZIP 89044 closed 746 at a $533,250 median with a 4.5-month supply and 97.1% of original list.

The trade-off between the two is worth understanding. Cadence gives you a new home at the Green Valley resale price, and its 40-day median is the longer of the two. Inspirada is further along in its buildout, with only 15% new construction, so its $559,200 median reflects a more established neighborhood with mature parks and a higher price per foot. See our new construction hub for options, and our Henderson buyer's guide for the relocation details.

What 55-plus communities does Henderson have?

Sun City Anthem is the largest in Henderson, with 7,144 homes and three recreation centers, according to its association. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, it closed 348 homes at a $588,500 median and $300 per square foot in a 36-day median days on market, with 126 active listings at a $624,900 median ask, 4.3 months of supply. Its plats in ZIP 89052 ran a $610,000 median across 233 closings, while its ZIP 89044 plats ran $579,000 across 115.

Other options include Solera at Anthem, which closed 106 homes at a $421,500 median and $288 per square foot with just 3.1 months of supply, and Sun City MacDonald Ranch, which closed 125 at a $425,000 median and $308 per square foot in the 12 months ending September 30, 2026. Newer 55-plus choices include Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas and Heritage at Cadence. The three largest compare like this:

Sun City Anthem has the highest prices of the three, and Solera and Sun City MacDonald Ranch sit close together. Solera isn't gated as a whole. For a deeper look, the 55-plus communities hub and our 55-plus guide cover every age-restricted option in the valley.

Which Henderson neighborhoods are at the luxury end?

Henderson's luxury tier is anchored by MacDonald Highlands, Seven Hills and Lake Las Vegas. MacDonald Highlands is a guard-gated hillside enclave in southeast Henderson built around the private DragonRidge Country Club. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, it closed 83 homes at a $4,000,000 median and $759 per square foot, with a $17,000,000 top sale at 555 Magma Peak. The wider MacDonald Ranch area, which also holds the Canyons enclave, gated but without a staffed guard, closed 160 at a $1,978,250 median and $502 per square foot with 7.4 months of supply on its October 26, 2026 listings.

Seven Hills has no master guard gate, and it runs two markets under one name: the whole master plan closed 119 homes at a $655,000 median and $298 per square foot with 6.7 months of supply, while its guard-gated estate parcels closed 13 at a $2,750,000 median and $430 per square foot, around the Rio Secco Golf Club, a Rees Jones design. Lake Las Vegas is the waterfront option: villages around a 320-acre lake with two Jack Nicklaus courses, the public Reflection Bay and the private SouthShore. Across all of Lake Las Vegas, 264 homes closed at a $659,900 median, 34% of them built in 2025 or later, the second-highest new-construction share of any Henderson master plan after Cadence, with 259 active listings, 11.8 months of supply, and a 59-day median days on market. Its guard-gated SouthShore section closed 46 at a $1,484,975 median with 12.3 months of supply on October 26 listings and an 87-day median, the longest in this guide, so buyers there have room to negotiate.

Which Henderson neighborhoods cost the least?

Whitney Ranch and the Black Mountain area are the lowest-priced entries in this guide. Whitney Ranch is in western Henderson near the Galleria at Sunset. Its plats closed 25 homes in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026 at a $429,000 median and $245 per square foot in a 40-day median, with 10 active listings at a $426,950 median ask, 4.8 months of supply, per my plat-level regroup of the same data. That's a small sample, so treat it as directional, but it sits $60,900 below the citywide $489,900. The surrounding ZIP 89014 closed 384 homes at a $420,000 median, with 35% of them condos or townhomes.

The Black Mountain area in east-central Henderson is the larger value market. Its plats, Black Mountain Vistas, Black Mountain Ranch, Highpointe, Tresor, and the Big Horn condominiums among them, closed 86 homes at a $450,000 median and $264 per square foot in a 30-day median, with 44 active listings at a $442,500 median ask, 6.1 months of supply, and 6% of closings built in 2025 or later. The surrounding ZIP 89015 closed 658 homes at a $405,000 median, the lowest of any Henderson ZIP with meaningful volume, with 19% of them new construction. Our homes under $500,000 guide and first-time buyer resources go further.

The value case is simple: a Henderson address at a price closer to the four-city median of $445,000 than to the premium enclaves. On property tax, Clark County's abatement rule limits annual growth in a primary-residence tax bill to 3% once the owner claims it, and the general cap of up to 8% applies until then. A sale doesn't reset the base. Browse current options via Henderson homes for sale.

Which Henderson neighborhoods have the most new construction?

Henderson's new construction clusters in the city's east and south. Cadence ranked No. 3 nationally in RCLCO's 2025 list. Of its 648 MLS closings in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, 64% were homes built in 2025 or later, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, and its ZIP 89011 recorded 1,261 closings, 41% of them new. Inspirada is nearer the end of its buildout, with 15% of closings new. Lake Las Vegas is the surprise: 34% of its 264 closings were built in 2025 or later.

TuscanyEast Henderson, gated golf750%$500,000

Two cautions apply. First, the MLS undercounts new construction, because builders sell many homes directly without listing them, so Cadence's true new-home volume is higher than 648 closings suggest. Second, some newer master plans carry SID or LID assessments, billed separately from the property tax and covered in the HOA section below. Cadence's FAQ says it has none, so a Cadence new build and a Green Valley resale at the same $485,000 median compare without a district line. Builders in these communities may offer incentives, so get the terms in writing. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.24% on October 29, 2026, so ask what any buydown is worth over the years you expect to keep the loan. For buyers weighing new versus existing, our new construction hub lays out the options, and for the gated-golf alternative in east Henderson, read our guide to Tuscany's gated golf community, whose 75 closings ran a $500,000 median with 7.2 months of supply.

Where are these Henderson neighborhoods located?

Henderson's geography shapes which neighborhood fits your commute and lifestyle, so location is worth understanding before you shortlist. The city sits southeast of the Las Vegas Strip, and its best neighborhoods spread across distinct pockets: Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch sit in the established northwest, closest to the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport. Anthem, Seven Hills, and MacDonald Highlands climb the southern hills, trading a slightly longer commute for views and elevation. Cadence, Black Mountain, and Lake Las Vegas anchor the east, while Inspirada and Whitney Ranch round out the south and west.

The ZIP codes map onto those pockets, and the 12-month medians from Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026 show how price follows geography: ZIP 89052 (the Anthem and Seven Hills hillside) closed 915 homes at $635,000, 89012 (MacDonald Ranch foothills) 566 at $550,000, 89044 (Inspirada and southern Anthem) 746 at $533,250, 89011 (Cadence and Lake Las Vegas) 1,261 at $482,000, 89074 and 89014 (Green Valley) 635 at $451,500 and 384 at $420,000, and 89015 and 89002 (the east side and Black Mountain) 658 at $405,000 and 498 at $469,558. The premium rises with elevation and falls toward the valley floor and the east. Henderson sellers received 96% to 98% of original list price across those ZIPs.

By our free-flow road model, without traffic, The District at Green Valley Ranch is 11 to 13 minutes from the airport and 13 to 17 from the Strip. Seven Hills is 13 to 17 and 15 to 21, Anthem 15 to 22 and 17 to 26, Inspirada 18 to 26 and 18 to 25, and Cadence 17 to 24 and 20 to 28. The hillside enclaves cost more in dollars and a little more in drive time.

How do Henderson neighborhoods compare to Summerlin?

Buyers cross-shopping Henderson almost always compare it to Summerlin, on the opposite side of town. The main differences are price, feel and scale. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, according to Las Vegas MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 19, 2026, Summerlin's villages closed 1,936 homes at a $630,000 median and $319 per square foot in a 34-day median days on market, with 880 active listings and 5.5 months of supply. Henderson as a whole closed 5,661 at $489,900, and its closest peers to Summerlin on price were Anthem at $650,000, Lake Las Vegas at $659,900, and Seven Hills at $655,000, while Cadence and Green Valley at $485,000 ran $145,000 below Summerlin's median.

That comparison is the useful one. A buyer with a $650,000 budget can choose between a median Summerlin home and a median Anthem or Seven Hills home, and the decision is geography and feel: Summerlin offers Downtown Summerlin and Red Rock Canyon, while Henderson has its own police department, Lake Las Vegas, Lake Mead nearby and hillside views. A buyer with a $485,000 budget gets a new-construction home in Cadence or a mature one in Green Valley, and would be shopping condos or older resale at that price in most of Summerlin, where only 10% of closings were new construction against Cadence's 64%.

How do Henderson's HOA and tax-district costs actually stack up?

This is where Henderson buyers get surprised most often, so it deserves its own breakdown. Most of Henderson's best neighborhoods carry layered costs, not a single HOA line. A typical purchase can involve a master-association fee, a sub-association or village fee, and, in some newer master plans, a SID or LID (Special Improvement District or Local Improvement District) assessment, billed separately from both your property tax and your HOA statement. According to the Clark County Treasurer, special assessments "are different than real property taxes, and are billed separately," and Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 governs the association layers; add them all up before you write an offer.

Henderson dues examples, 2026: middle half of MLS entries or published association figures (confirm the specific home's dues in the NRS 116 resale package)
CommunityMonthlySource and notes
Green Valley Ranch$75 to $158MLS entries; sub-association varies
CadenceAbout $75 masterMaster figure; a neighborhood fee can add to it. No SID or LID, per Cadence
Inspirada$85 to $160MLS entries; $255 a quarter base; LID T-18 is a separate bill
Sun City Anthem$145$435 a quarter, per its association
Seven Hills$133 to $330MLS entries; three associations have staffed gates
Anthem Country Club$355 to $386MLS entries
Lake Las Vegas$276 to $521MLS entries; master plus village or condo association

The practical rule: before you fall in love with a home, have your agent pull the full HOA resale package and check the assessment district schedule for any district on the parcel. Under NRS 116.4109, the resale package covers assessments and reserves, and a buyer can cancel until the fifth calendar day after receiving it. An unexpected special assessment can quietly add hundreds of dollars a year to what looked like an affordable payment.

What should you know before buying in a Henderson neighborhood?

A few practical realities separate a smooth Henderson purchase from a surprising one. First, budget for HOA dues and, where a parcel sits in an improvement district such as Inspirada's LID T-18, a separate SID or LID bill; Cadence's developer says it has none. Check the specific parcel before you write an offer. Second, confirm schools for the specific address on the district's zoning search, since boundaries can split a community.

Third, factor in summer cooling bills. Fourth, tour at different times of day, and review the police agency's map for the exact subdivision, as our Henderson crime data guide explains. Fifth, read the supply figure for the neighborhood before you decide how to negotiate. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, Solera at Anthem (3.1 months) and Green Valley Ranch (4.0) leaned toward sellers where clean offers near ask win, while Lake Las Vegas (11.8 months) and the Seven Hills estate parcels (15.7 on October 26 listings) gave buyers time to negotiate. Our buyer resources walk through the full due-diligence checklist, and the live valley home search lets you start narrowing neighborhoods today.

What is Green Valley like?

Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch are Henderson's established areas, anchored by The District at Green Valley Ranch, with gated and non-gated neighborhoods. In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, Green Valley closed 268 homes at a $485,000 median in a 22-day median days on market, and Green Valley Ranch closed 125 at $516,100 in a 20-day median, the fastest in this guide.

How do Henderson and Summerlin neighborhoods compare?

In the 12 months ending September 18, 2026, Summerlin closed 1,936 homes at a $630,000 median and Henderson closed 5,661 at $489,900, but the comparable Henderson master plans, Anthem ($650,000), Seven Hills ($655,000), and Lake Las Vegas ($659,900), ran right alongside Summerlin's median. Summerlin sits on the west side with Red Rock Canyon access and Downtown Summerlin; Henderson is on the east, runs its own police department, and adds waterfront luxury at Lake Las Vegas plus far more new construction at Cadence. It comes down to specific neighborhoods.

Is Lake Las Vegas in Henderson or Boulder City?

Lake Las Vegas is within the City of Henderson, along its eastern edge near the Boulder City line, and its homes are zoned to the Clark County School District; it is a Henderson master plan, not a separate town. Similarly, Sun City Anthem, Solera, and Anthem Country Club are separate communities nested inside the larger Anthem master plan, which is part of Henderson. The boundary, not the marketing name, determines the HOA layers, tax district and school zone, so always confirm the exact community and parcel before you buy. Lake Las Vegas shares ZIP 89011 with Cadence, which is why that ZIP recorded 1,261 closings in the 12 months ending September 18, 2026.
