Direct Answer: Cadence in Henderson is one of the highest-selling master-planned communities in the United States: RCLCO ranked it third nationally by new-home sales in both 2024 and 2025, with 1,247 sales in 2025. The 2,200-acre plan allows up to 12,250 homes, and in May 2024 its developer told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that about 5,200 were occupied. As of October 7, 2026, Cadence's own site lists seven builders: Beazer Homes, Century Communities, D.R. Horton, Lennar, Richmond American, Taylor Morrison, and Woodside Homes. The 106 plans and quick move-in homes shown on their Cadence pages that day ran from $334,990 to $951,950, and all but one were priced at $748,071 or less. This guide covers buildout status, builder mix, resale data, why Cadence has no SID or LID assessment, and the buyer decision framework for purchasing in 2026.

What Is Cadence and Why Has It Ranked Among the Top Master-Planned Communities Nationally?
Cadence is a 2,200-acre master-planned community in eastern Henderson developed by The LandWell Company. According to the Cadence FAQ, ground broke in August 2013 and sales began in December 2014, and the plan allows up to 12,250 residential units and 1.1 million square feet of commercial space. It has grown into one of the top-selling new-home communities in the United States, ranking third nationally in RCLCO's year-end master-planned community rankings for both 2024 and 2025.
The community's success reflects a combination of factors: (1) accessible Las Vegas metro pricing in a desirable Henderson sub-market, (2) sustained homebuilder competition across seven builders driving incentive packages and floor plan choice, (3) deep amenity infrastructure including a nearly 50-acre Central Park, a 100-acre sports park and trails, and (4) continued net domestic migration into Clark County, which the Census Bureau estimates at +8,465 people in the year to July 2025.
Cadence's national ranking pattern. RCLCO ranks master-planned communities by new-home contracts net of cancellations, as reported by each community. According to RCLCO's 2025 year-end report, released January 8, 2026, The Villages ranked first with 3,611 sales, Lakewood Ranch second with 2,085, Cadence third with 1,247 and Babcock Ranch fourth with 1,066. According to RCLCO's 2024 report, Cadence was also third in 2024, with 1,386 sales, a 44% increase over 2023, the year the Review-Journal reported it ranked sixth. That is a pace among the highest in the United States.
Why this matters to 2026 buyers. High community sales velocity correlates with strong resale demand. Communities that sell hundreds of new homes per year attract motivated repeat buyers, drive infrastructure investment, sustain HOA reserve adequacy, and build market recognition that benefits future resale values. Cadence's national ranking is not abstract trivia — it's measurable evidence that the community's buyer pool runs deep and durable.
How Far Built Out Is Cadence in 2026?
Cadence's developer publishes the plan's size but not a running count of homes built, so the honest answer comes in pieces. According to the Cadence FAQ, the plan covers 2,200 acres and allows up to 12,250 residential units and 1.1 million square feet of commercial space; ground broke in August 2013 and sales began in December 2014. In a May 13, 2024 Las Vegas Review-Journal article, the vice president of marketing for The LandWell Company put the number of occupied homes at approximately 5,200, about 42% of the 12,250-unit cap, and said the community would be complete in roughly five years.
Sales since then. According to RCLCO, Cadence recorded 1,386 new-home sales in 2024 and 1,247 in 2025, third in the nation both years. Those are contracts net of cancellations, not closings, so they do not convert neatly into a current percentage built. Earlier editions of this guide gave a buildout percentage, village counts and a finish date that we could not trace to a published source, so they are gone. Treat any single buildout percentage you see quoted with the same caution.
What this means functionally. Buyers purchasing in 2026 should expect (1) ongoing construction activity in adjacent neighborhoods while builders sell the remaining phases, (2) continued amenity and commercial build-out as the plan's remaining parcels develop, (3) phase-by-phase price changes in newer releases, and (4) a master assessment that the Cadence Community Association set at $225 a quarter for 2026, plus any neighborhood charges.
Who Are the Active Builders at Cadence in 2026?
Cadence's own site lists seven builders selling in the community as of October 7, 2026, each with its own neighborhoods and price band.
| Builder | Cadence neighborhoods with homes shown | Prices shown | Sizes shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beazer Homes | Cantata Point, Aria Crossing | $334,990-$642,218 | 1,330-2,735 sq ft |
| Century Communities | Modena I, Modena II | $438,990-$507,440 | 1,675-2,119 sq ft |
| D.R. Horton | Symmetry Trails, Symmetry Bay, Symmetry Falls, Symmetry Manor | $350,990-$735,745 | 1,309-3,000 sq ft |
| Lennar | Carlton, Midtown, Quail Crossings | $370,990-$485,990 | 1,248-2,218 sq ft |
| Richmond American | Interlude | $549,950-$748,071 | 2,620-3,280 sq ft |
| Taylor Morrison | Opus | $454,990-$545,990 | 1,856-2,779 sq ft |
| Woodside Homes | Meridian, Acacia, Ashwood, Ambridge, Adair, Serenata | $345,950-$634,950, plus one Adair quick move-in at $951,950 | 1,284-2,935 sq ft |
Builder mix insight. According to the builder pages on Cadence's website, read October 7, 2026 (including each page's second and third screens of listings), the seven builders were showing 106 homes: 69 floor plans and 37 quick move-in homes. Prices ran from $334,990 for a Beazer quick move-in at Cantata Point to $951,950 for a Woodside quick move-in at Adair, an outlier: every other Woodside home shown was $634,950 or less, and the next-highest price on any builder's page was $748,071, a Richmond American quick move-in at Interlude. The low end is mostly townhomes and smaller plans, such as Beazer's Cantata Point and D.R. Horton's Symmetry Trails townhomes; the top end is single-family plans of roughly 2,500 to 3,300 square feet. Lennar's Heritage at Cadence, the community's age-qualified neighborhood, has its own sub-association, according to the Cadence Community Association.
Builder competition dynamics. With seven builders running concurrent inventory, builder competition for buyers is intense in 2026. Standing inventory homes (already built, awaiting a buyer) are where builders usually concentrate incentives such as closing-cost credits, design-center allowances and rate buydowns; the amount changes by builder and by month, so get each sales office's current offer in writing. Build-to-order pricing is firmer, but each builder offers its own customization options at its design center.
Builders by price band (homes shown October 7, 2026).
- Under $400,000: Beazer (Cantata Point), D.R. Horton (Symmetry Trails), Lennar (Carlton, Quail Crossings), Woodside (Meridian)
- $400,000-$499,999: Beazer, Century Communities, D.R. Horton (Symmetry Bay), Lennar (Carlton, Midtown, Quail Crossings), Taylor Morrison, Woodside (Acacia, Ashwood)

- Age-qualified: Lennar's Heritage at Cadence
What Are the Current Pricing Tiers at Cadence in 2026?
Of the 106 plans and quick move-in homes shown on the seven builders' Cadence pages on October 7, 2026, prices ran from $334,990 to $951,950, with a median of $497,475; 38 were priced between $400,000 and $499,999 and another 38 between $500,000 and $599,999. Only one, the $951,950 Woodside quick move-in at Adair, was above $748,071.
| Price band | Homes shown | Sizes shown | Builders and neighborhoods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $400,000 | 17 | 1,248-1,598 sq ft | Beazer (Cantata Point), D.R. Horton (Symmetry Trails), Lennar (Carlton, Quail Crossings), Woodside (Meridian) |
| $400,000-$499,999 | 38 | 1,445-2,441 sq ft | Beazer (Cantata Point), Century (Modena I and II), D.R. Horton (Symmetry Bay), Lennar (Carlton, Midtown, Quail Crossings), Taylor Morrison (Opus), Woodside (Acacia, Ashwood) |
| $500,000-$599,999 | 38 | 1,597-3,000 sq ft | Beazer (Aria Crossing), Century (Modena I and II), D.R. Horton (Symmetry Falls), Richmond American (Interlude), Taylor Morrison (Opus), Woodside (Adair, Ambridge, Ashwood, Serenata) |
| $600,000 and up | 13 | 2,538-3,280 sq ft | Beazer (Aria Crossing), D.R. Horton (Symmetry Manor), Richmond American (Interlude), Woodside (Adair) |
Lot premium structure at Cadence. Lot premiums are set by each builder, homesite by homesite, and the builder pages we read on October 7, 2026 list plan and quick move-in prices rather than a premium schedule. Expect view lots, cul-de-sac positions and homesites facing Central Park or open space to carry the highest premiums, and get the premium for a specific lot in writing before you compare two builders' base prices.
SID/LID assessment context. Cadence carries no Special Improvement District or Limited Improvement District assessment. According to Cadence's FAQ, "There are no SID/LID (special improvement district/limited improvement district) fees." The same FAQ notes that some neighborhoods, such as those with townhomes or condos, may have non-HOA assessment fees, so ask about those on an attached product. That is a real difference from Inspirada, where City of Henderson LID T-18 runs to a final payment on June 1, 2035, according to Assessment Management Group's district schedule. Our SID/LID fees explainer covers how those districts work where they do exist.
What Amenities Does Cadence Offer Residents?
Cadence's amenities are mostly parks and open space. According to the Cadence FAQ, the plan has nearly 450 acres of open space, including parks, trails, tree-lined streets and sidewalks, plus a 100-acre sports park, 10 distinct neighborhood parks, 30 acres of trails with access to regional trails, and dog parks.
Cadence Central Park (nearly 50 acres). The community's anchor amenity. According to the FAQ, it offers:
- Picnic areas and a pavilion
- Two amphitheaters
- A playground and an adventure playground
- Splash pads
- Pickleball courts
- A fitness court
Cadence's parks and trails page adds a six-lane lap pool, a 2,000-square-foot splash pad and free Wi-Fi, and the FAQ says the Central Park pool is open from May 1 to October 31.
Neighborhood parks. The same page describes Desert Pulse Park, a 5-acre City of Henderson park inside Cadence that holds the Dakota Dog Park, and Citrine Sky Park at Warm Springs Road and Grand Cadence Drive, with two grass volleyball courts, a covered play area, barbecues and 1.5 acres of turf.
Regional trails. The page also points residents to the River Mountains Loop, a 34-mile paved trail completed in 2012; 13 miles of trail along the Las Vegas Wash; and the Lake Mead Trail along the old railroad grade toward Hoover Dam.
Heritage at Cadence. Heritage at Cadence, Lennar's age-qualified neighborhood, has its own 22,713-square-foot recreation center with an indoor pool and fitness center, according to a 2016 Review-Journal report, and its own sub-association.
Retail. According to a Cadence-provided feature in the Review-Journal in January 2025, the nearly 30-acre Cadence Village Center is home to Smith's Marketplace, Wells Fargo, Starbucks and other tenants. Downtown Henderson's Water Street District is 2.3 miles, about 5 minutes from Central Park in free-flowing traffic, in the routing behind our Cadence vs Landings at Caspian Bay comparison.
Schools. Cadence falls within the Clark County School District Henderson school footprint. Several elementary schools serve different Cadence villages directly within or immediately adjacent to the community, and middle and high school assignments also vary by address; check any address in the CCSD zoning search.
Healthcare. St. Rose Dominican's Siena campus is 7.6 miles, about 16 minutes from Central Park in free-flowing traffic, by the same September 23, 2026 routing.
Lake Mead recreation. Boulder Beach on Lake Mead is 16.7 miles, about 30 minutes from Central Park in free-flowing traffic, by the same routing; add time at rush hour.
What Have Cadence Resale Buyers Experienced 2021-2026?
The clearest test of Cadence's investment case is the resale market. Earlier versions of this guide answered it with phase-by-phase appreciation ranges that we could not trace to any data, so they are gone. What the MLS record does show is a deep resale market that is holding its own against brand-new homes.
What resales sold for. Our pull of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers on September 23, 2026, filtered to plats containing "Cadence" in ZIP 89011 for our Cadence vs Landings at Caspian Bay comparison, counted 542 closings in the 12 months ending that day. The 214 resales of homes built through 2024 closed at a $492,450 median and $258 per square foot, against a $484,500 median and $248 per square foot for the 328 homes built in 2025 or 2026.
Days on market. In that pull, resales took a median 47 days and new builds 35. Our August 29, 2026 count, which uses the community's 61 subdivision names rather than plat text, found 496 closings at a $485,000 median in a median 39 days. The two pulls differ in date and definition, so compare each with itself rather than with the other.
Resale demand drivers.
- Net domestic migration into Clark County, estimated by the Census Bureau at +11,931 in the year to July 2024 and +8,465 in the year to July 2025
- Cadence's national sales ranking, which keeps buyer attention on the community
- Lake Mead and regional trail access, including the River Mountains Loop
Resale challenges. Assessment districts are not one of them: Cadence's developer states there are no SID/LID fees, so a Cadence seller is not carrying a district balance that a buyer would discount against a comparable resale. The headwinds that do matter are competition from builder incentives on new inventory down the street and the construction activity that continues in adjacent villages.
How Many Cadence Homes Are Actually For Sale Right Now?
Everything above describes the community. This describes the market inside it — and it contains the one number that surprises nearly every buyer who calls us about Cadence.
On August 29, 2026 we counted every active Cadence listing in the Las Vegas MLS, scoped to the community's 61 individual subdivision names rather than to a Henderson ZIP code. That distinction matters: the ZIP codes covering Cadence hold roughly 2,500 active Henderson listings, and only 213 of them are actually in Cadence.
| Metric | Cadence, August 2026 | What it tells a buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Active listings | 213 | Real selection — more inventory than most Henderson master plans this size |
| Median list price | $507,000 | Range runs about $299,900 to $890,000 |
| Resale vs new construction | 152 resale · 61 new | Roughly 71% of what you can actually buy is a resold home |
| Property type | 167 single-family · 46 townhome | Townhomes are a meaningful entry point, not a rounding error |
| Median size and price per foot | 2,016 sqft · $251 | Larger and cheaper per foot than most Henderson infill |
| Closed sales, trailing 12 months | 496 at a $485,000 median | A deep, liquid resale market — easy to sell later |
| Median days on market | 39 days | Balanced — not a bidding war, not stagnant |
Most of the Cadence market is resale, and almost none of the advertising is. Cadence markets itself — justifiably — as one of the best-selling new-home communities in the country, and the billboards, the radio spots and the model home complexes all point at builder inventory. But 152 of the 213 homes a buyer could walk into on August 29, 2026 were resales owned by earlier buyers. Only 61 were builder product. A buyer who tours only the model complexes is touring under 30% of the market.
That is not an argument against new construction. It is an argument for knowing the ratio before you decide, because the two halves behave differently on price:
- Resale gets you a finished house. Landscaped yard, window coverings, often paid-off solar, appliances and epoxy garage floors already in — the post-close spending that a builder base price quietly excludes. The price is also negotiable against a private seller with a mortgage and a timeline.
- New construction gets you warranty and incentive. Current floor plans, structural warranty, and — the real lever in 2026 — builder-paid rate buydowns routed through the builder's own lender, which can be worth more per month than the price concession a resale seller would ever agree to.
Asking prices run about 4% above recent sales. The $507,000 median list price on August 29, 2026 sat about 4% above the $485,000 median sale of the prior 12 months. The negotiating mostly happens before a deal: in our September 23, 2026 pull, Cadence homes that sold closed at 100.0% of their final list price but 97.8% of their original list price, so price cuts did the work. Asking price is a starting position rather than a verdict. Paired with a 39-day median on market, it describes a community where a well-priced home moves but a buyer still has time to inspect, appraise and negotiate rather than waive protections to win.
We keep the full live list — every active Cadence listing, updated from the MLS rather than typed into a page — at Cadence homes for sale, alongside the same resale-versus-new filter used to produce the counts above.
Should Late-Phase Buyers in 2026 Still Expect Appreciation?
This is the critical question for any buyer considering Cadence in late 2026, and we answer it without a forecast: Nevada Real Estate Group does not publish price predictions. What we can do is lay out the factors on each side, with the numbers behind them.
Factors that support values.
- Net domestic migration into Clark County stayed positive, at +8,465 in the year to July 2025, per the Census Bureau
- Cadence kept its third-place national sales ranking in 2025, per RCLCO
- Resales were closing above new builds in our September 23, 2026 pull, $492,450 against $484,500 at the median
- Amenity and commercial build-out continues as the plan's remaining parcels develop
- No SID or LID balance travels with a Cadence parcel, per the Cadence FAQ
Factors that weigh on values.
- Mortgage rates: Freddie Mac's 30-year average was 7.28% in the week of October 1, 2026
- Valley sales volume: Las Vegas REALTORS counted 28,498 sales in 2025, the fewest since 2007
- Builder inventory and incentives compete directly with resales a few streets away
- Competing master plans (Inspirada, Skye Canyon, others) draw from the same buyer pool
- A broader economic slowdown would compress demand
Nevada Real Estate Group's view. We don't put a number on future appreciation, and earlier versions of this guide that did so relied on figures we could not source. What the record supports is narrower: Cadence has a deep resale market, its resales were not being discounted against new construction in our latest pull, and lot and floor plan matter more to a future sale than the community-wide average.
Practical recommendation. Late-phase Cadence buyers in 2026 should approach the purchase as a primary residence with appreciation as a secondary outcome — not as a pure investment play. The community offers strong daily livability and pricing below most other Henderson master plans in our MLS pulls. Compare resale and new-construction prices on the same floor plan before you commit.
How Does Cadence Compare to Other Active Henderson Master Plans?
Cadence operates in the same competitive zone as several other major Henderson master-planned communities. The table uses only figures we can source: each plan's size as stated in Cadence's FAQ or in our own community guides, and closings from our own pulls of Las Vegas MLS data, each with its window.
| Master plan | Size | Closings and median sale price | Distinctive feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cadence | 2,200 acres; up to 12,250 units | 496 at $485,000 (12 months to Aug 29, 2026) | Seven builders selling, no SID/LID |
| Inspirada | South Henderson, ZIP 89044 | 379 at $543,750 (12 months to Sept 21, 2026) | Seven association parks; LID T-18 to June 1, 2035 |
| Lake Las Vegas | 3,592 acres | 293 at $670,000 (12 months to Aug 31, 2026) | Private man-made lake, golf, resort |
| Anthem | 4,775 acres; 14,000-plus homes | 548 at $649,990 (12 months to Sept 18, 2026) | Six sub-communities, including Sun City Anthem |
| Seven Hills | 1,300 acres | 115 at $650,000 (12 months to Sept 15, 2026) | Guard-gated, built around Rio Secco Golf Club |
| MacDonald Highlands | 1,320 acres | 68 at $4.25 million (12 months to Sept 15, 2026) | Guard-gated hillside; DragonRidge membership is separate |
Cadence's competitive position. Cadence wins on builder choice and price: its median sale was the lowest of the six plans in the table. Inspirada is the closest in price but sits in south Henderson rather than east Henderson, and its new construction is down to final phases, as our Inspirada final 75 homes report explains. Lake Las Vegas is a different product category entirely (lake/golf luxury). Anthem is more built-out with smaller new construction inventory. Seven Hills and MacDonald Highlands are guard-gated and operate at higher price tiers; our guides to Anthem, Seven Hills, MacDonald Highlands and Lake Las Vegas carry the detail behind each row.
The "Cadence vs Inspirada" question. Many buyers comparing Henderson master plans narrow the decision to Cadence vs Inspirada. They overlap in price, but they differ on three things you can check: Inspirada's median ran about $59,000 higher in our pulls ($543,750 against $485,000, over slightly different windows), Inspirada parcels in City of Henderson LID T-18 carry an assessment that Cadence does not, and Inspirada's new construction is in its final phases while all seven Cadence builders were selling in October 2026. After that, the differentiation comes down to specific lot availability, the schools assigned to the address, and proximity to specific employer or family locations within greater Las Vegas. Nevada Real Estate Group's standard advice: tour both communities, walk both park systems, and decide based on the specific lot/floor plan combination that fits — not based on broader brand preference.
For buyers weighing Cadence against a single-builder neighborhood rather than another master plan, our Cadence vs. KB Home's Landings at Caspian Bay comparison puts the two side by side on price per square foot, HOA, assessments, zoned schools and commute times using September 2026 MLS closings.
What Should Cadence Buyers Ask Before Signing in 2026?
Eight questions to answer in writing before contract execution at any Cadence builder. We've negotiated enough Cadence contracts to know that the answers arrive readily when asked early and reluctantly when asked late.
-
Does this lot carry any assessment beyond the HOA? Cadence's FAQ says there are no SID or LID fees, but it also says some neighborhoods, such as townhome or condo sections, may have non-HOA assessment fees. Get any such fee in writing, and confirm the parcel in Assessment Management Group's parcel search.
-
What is the full association structure? Every Cadence home pays the $225-a-quarter master assessment; some neighborhoods add a service-area assessment, an insurance assessment on attached homes or a separate sub-association, according to the Cadence Community Association. Get the combined total in writing.
-
What builder incentive package is available today, and is more available on standing inventory? Incentives change by builder and by month, and they are usually largest on homes that are already built. Always ask.
-
What is the school assignment for this specific lot? Different Cadence villages fall into different elementary school zones. Verify before signing.
-
What is the build timeline if I'm building to order? Each builder quotes its own schedule; in our experience across Henderson production builders, to-be-built homes run four to seven months depending on the stage of the phase.
-
What are the lot premium options and their long-term view durability? Some "view" lots will lose orientation as future Cadence phases build out. Get future phase plats reviewed by Nevada Real Estate Group.
-
Can I see resale data for this exact floor plan from earlier Cadence phases? Production builders run repeat floor plans across phases. In our experience earlier-phase resale data on the same plan is the strongest single predictor of your future resale outcome — stronger than the community-level appreciation figure most buyers rely on.
-
What is the projected timeline for full Cadence buildout, and what new phases are anticipated within 1 mile of my lot? Living through 2-4 years of nearby construction is meaningful for daily livability.
How Does Nevada Real Estate Group Help Cadence Buyers?
Cadence's seven builders, deep phase release cadence, and layered association structure make broker representation particularly valuable for Cadence buyers. Nevada Real Estate Group's role on Cadence transactions extends beyond standard real estate brokerage.
Builder fit matching. With seven builders running concurrent inventory across distinctly different price tiers and floor plan philosophies, choosing the right builder is the single highest-leverage decision a Cadence buyer makes. We walk every buyer through the production-vs-luxury, build-to-order-vs-spec, and entry-vs-luxury trade-offs across all active Cadence builders before any contract signing.
Phase release intelligence. Cadence builders release new phases on their own schedules, and a new phase can be priced above the last one on the same floor plan. We can track upcoming phase releases across all seven builders and time a contract around them.
Lot evaluation. Cadence lots range from standard interior homesites to premium positions facing Central Park or open space, and view durability varies — some "view" lots will lose orientation as future phases build out next to them. We can review a lot against recent Cadence closings in the MLS and the plats for future phases before you commit.
Assessment and HOA verification. Cadence has no SID or LID, according to its developer's FAQ, which is a real cost advantage over a master plan like Inspirada with its LID T-18. We can still confirm any lot you are considering in AMG's parcel search and get the master dues, any sub-association dues, and any non-HOA assessment fee on a townhome or condo section in writing before you sign.
Builder incentive negotiation. Standing inventory homes at Cadence can carry flexible incentives that are not advertised. We can negotiate for incentives beyond the posted package on an inventory home, applied to closing costs, design center credits, rate buydowns, or upgrade packages.
Resale planning. Cadence's national brand recognition and continued buildout support meaningful resale demand. We help buyers structure their Cadence purchase for the eventual exit — lot selection, floor plan selection, and ownership decisions that maximize 5-10 year resale outcomes.
What Are the Three Biggest Cadence Buyer Mistakes?
Mistake 1: Budgeting for the wrong recurring costs. Cadence's developer FAQ states there are no SID or LID fees, so a Cadence budget does not need the district line an Inspirada parcel in LID T-18 carries. What Cadence buyers do miss is the association stack: the master association, a sub-association in neighborhoods such as Heritage at Cadence, and the non-HOA assessment fees the FAQ says some townhome and condo neighborhoods have. Always ask for every recurring charge in writing before signing.
Mistake 2: Underestimating ongoing construction impact. Cadence will keep building in surrounding neighborhoods until the remaining phases sell; when it spoke to the Review-Journal in May 2024, the developer expected completion in roughly five years. Construction traffic, dust, and ongoing landscape installation in adjacent villages affect daily livability. Many buyers prioritize quiet streets and mature landscaping over new-construction choice, and an older Henderson neighborhood may suit them better. Tour during weekday construction hours, not just weekend amenity tours.
Mistake 3: Chasing the maximum incentive package on the wrong floor plan. Standing inventory builders sometimes offer aggressive incentive packages on homes that have been sitting for legitimate reasons — bad lot, awkward floor plan, design center selections that don't appeal to most buyers. The right framework: pick the floor plan and lot first, then negotiate the incentive package available on that specific home. Don't let incentive depth dictate the home choice.
How many homes will Cadence have at full buildout?
According to its FAQ, Cadence allows up to 12,250 residential units across its 2,200-acre master plan in eastern Henderson. In May 2024, the developer told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that approximately 5,200 homes were occupied and that it expected completion in roughly five years. Sales have stayed fast since: RCLCO counted 1,386 Cadence new-home sales in 2024 and 1,247 in 2025, third in the nation both years. No current homes-built count has been published.
What are typical home prices at Cadence in 2026?
New-construction prices shown on the seven builders' Cadence pages on October 7, 2026 ran from $334,990 (a Beazer quick move-in at Cantata Point) to $951,950 (a Woodside quick move-in at Adair, the only home above $748,071), with a median of $497,475 across 106 plans and quick move-in homes. On the resale side, our own count of MLS records on August 29, 2026 found 213 active Cadence listings at a $507,000 median list price, and 496 closings over the prior 12 months at a $485,000 median.
How much have Cadence homes appreciated since 2021?
We have not found a published, verifiable appreciation series for Cadence, and we don't estimate one. What the MLS record shows is how resales compare with new homes today: in our pull of Las Vegas MLS data on September 23, 2026, 214 Cadence resales of homes built through 2024 closed at a $492,450 median and $258 per square foot in the prior 12 months, against $484,500 and $248 for 328 homes built in 2025 or 2026. For a specific home, compare its purchase price with recent closings of the same floor plan.
Does Cadence Henderson have SID or LID fees?
No. According to Cadence's FAQ, "There are no SID/LID (special improvement district/limited improvement district) fees." None of the City of Henderson districts on Assessment Management Group's schedule, read October 7, 2026, is for Cadence; Inspirada's LID T-18 is the nearest comparison, with a final payment on June 1, 2035. The same FAQ says some Cadence neighborhoods, such as townhome or condo sections, may carry non-HOA assessment fees, which are a different charge. Ask the builder or seller about those in writing and check the parcel in AMG's database before signing.
What is the HOA at Cadence Henderson?
According to the Cadence Community Association, every Cadence home pays the 2026 master assessment of $225 per quarter, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, which funds parks, trails, open space and community events. Some homes add more: service-area assessments for neighborhoods where the association maintains front yards or private streets (for example $45 per quarter at Cantata Point and $144 per quarter in Symmetry Trails II), a $141-per-quarter insurance assessment on attached homes without a separate sub-association, and separate dues in the neighborhoods with their own sub-association: Hampton Collective, Lennar's age-qualified Heritage at Cadence, and Somerville and Alderidge.
How does Cadence compare to Inspirada in Henderson?
Cadence and Inspirada overlap in price but differ in stage and cost. In our MLS pulls, Cadence closed 496 homes at a $485,000 median in the 12 months to August 29, 2026, and Inspirada 379 at $543,750 in the 12 months to September 21, 2026. Cadence's site listed seven builders selling on October 7, 2026, while Inspirada's new construction is in its final phases. Inspirada parcels in City of Henderson LID T-18 pay installments through June 1, 2035; Cadence's developer states it has no SID/LID fees. After that, compare lots, the schools assigned to each address, and commute.
Is it too late to buy at Cadence in 2026?
No, if you are buying a home to live in. All seven builders were still selling on October 7, 2026, with 106 plans and quick move-in homes shown, and the resale market is deep: 213 Cadence homes were for sale on August 29, 2026, and 496 had closed in the prior 12 months at a $485,000 median. We don't publish appreciation forecasts, so judge the purchase on the lot, the floor plan, the builder's current incentive and the total monthly cost, including the $225-a-quarter master assessment.
What schools serve Cadence Henderson?
According to Clark County School District, Cadence falls within the Clark County School District Henderson school footprint. Multiple elementary schools serve different Cadence villages, including schools located directly within or adjacent to the community, and middle and high school assignments also vary by address. Use the CCSD zoning search for the specific lot; buyers should verify the exact elementary school assignment before signing, as boundaries can change with district capacity expansion.

Which Industry Authorities Inform This Analysis?
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, as reported by Nevada Business, 28,498 existing homes, condos and townhomes sold across Southern Nevada in 2025, down from 31,305 in 2024 and the lowest annual total since 2007.
According to Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 361, a claimed primary residence's property-tax bill can rise at most 3% a year (NRS 361.4723), while other property is capped at up to 8% (NRS 361.4722). A sale does not reset that base; a new owner must claim the 3% cap.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 county estimates, Clark County's net domestic migration was +11,931 in the year to July 2024 and +8,465 in the year to July 2025; the estimates do not break arrivals out by origin state.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Nevada's nonfarm payrolls rose by 24,600 from December 2024 to December 2025, not seasonally adjusted.
According to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.28% in the week of October 1, 2026.
What those figures mean for a Cadence buyer: the valley's 2025 sales total was the lowest since 2007, so builders were competing for fewer buyers; the 3% cap protects you only after you file the primary-residence claim; and at 7.28%, every $10,000 of purchase price adds about $68 a month in principal and interest on a 30-year loan.
