Lake Las Vegas is a name most valley buyers associate with multimillion-dollar lakefront estates — which is exactly why Century's Residence 1831 at The Bluffs surprises people. It's a single-story home from the mid-$400,000s inside the gated, waterfront resort master plan, one of the more attainable ways to own new construction in a community better known for its high end. At about 1,831 square feet with a smart, open single-level layout and Century's smart-home technology included, Residence 1831 is proof that a Lake Las Vegas address doesn't require a seven-figure budget.

What Is Century's Residence 1831 at The Bluffs?
Residence 1831 is a single-story single-family home at The Bluffs I, a gated Century Communities neighborhood within the Lake Las Vegas master plan in Henderson. According to Century Communities, the plan runs about 1,831 square feet with 3 bedrooms plus a den and 2 baths, all on one level, with a 2-car garage. The den can be built as an optional 4th bedroom, and a 2.5-bath configuration is available on select lots. The "1831" is the square footage — that's how Century names its plans.
The layout is a well-designed single-story: a wide great room opens to a kitchen with a large center island, two secondary bedrooms sit near a hall bath and the laundry, the versatile den anchors the front of the home, and a secluded rear primary suite — with a walk-in closet and a walk-in-shower bath — is set apart at the back for privacy. Options include a covered patio, the 4th bedroom in lieu of the den, an upgraded primary bath, and a powder room. It's a practical, right-sized single-level home in a community whose amenities punch well above the home's price.

A note on precision: Century prices and configures homes by homesite and updates often, and options like the 4th bedroom and 2.5-bath change the layout — so confirm the exact price, configuration, and included features of a specific Residence 1831 homesite with the builder before you write an offer. For the master-plan picture, see our Lake Las Vegas waterfront buyers guide, and for the builder, our Century Communities guide.
Why Is a Lake Las Vegas Address Attainable at This Price?
Because Lake Las Vegas spans an enormous range, and The Bluffs sits near its entry point. According to Lake Las Vegas, the master plan is a roughly 3,592-acre waterfront community in eastern Henderson, built around a 320-acre private lake, with sub-communities that range from condos in the mid-$400,000s at MonteLago Village to guard-gated lakefront estates in SouthShore that reach $20 million and beyond. That span is the key: a Lake Las Vegas address can cost half a million or twenty million, and Residence 1831 sits at the accessible end.
That's what makes Residence 1831 compelling. You get the gate, the resort setting, the golf and trail amenities, and the Lake Las Vegas name — the same master plan that includes the valley's most expensive lakefront estates — starting in the mid-$400,000s. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Henderson consistently ranks among the safest and most desirable cities in the valley, and Lake Las Vegas is one of its signature communities. Owning the entry-level home in a prestige master plan is often a smarter buy than owning a top home in an ordinary one — you get the address and the amenities, with more room for appreciation as the master plan's brand carries the whole community. In our experience, the value homes in an upscale master plan tend to hold demand especially well, because they open the door to a lifestyle most buyers assume is out of reach.
Why Does Single-Story Living Add to the Appeal?
Because no stairs is a feature that serves nearly everyone. For the many buyers who choose Lake Las Vegas as a place to settle in for the long term — including retirees and second-home owners — a single-story home removes the daily climb and the long-term accessibility problem. For everyone, it means the whole home lives on one connected level, which tends to feel more open and flow better than a two-story of the same size, and it puts the secluded rear primary suite, the great room, and the kitchen all on one plane.
Single-story homes also compete for a broad buyer pool at resale, which supports value. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the share of buyers who specifically want single-level living keeps rising as the population ages, and a one-story home in a gated resort community hits two high-demand preferences at once. Lake Las Vegas in particular draws buyers who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle — a single-level home they can leave for travel and return to easily — which the Residence 1831 suits well. In our experience, single-story homes in gated, amenity-rich communities are among the easier properties to resell, because they satisfy accessibility, convenience, and lifestyle in one package.
What Does Century Include as Standard?
Century positions itself as a value builder with an included-features model, and the standout inclusion is the smart-home package. According to Century Communities, its Home Connect® smart-home system comes included — a package that typically features a smart thermostat, smart door locks, and hands-free security control, managed through a connected-home setup. Including that technology in the base price is a genuine value versus builders who sell it as an upgrade or resale homes where you'd add it yourself.
For a value-focused buyer, that included approach matters. The price you tour is closer to the price you pay, without a long list of add-ons to reach a livable, modern home. Century also offers financing through its affiliated lender, Inspire Home Loans, which buyers can consider alongside outside quotes — we always recommend comparing. As with any builder, confirm exactly what's standard versus optional for the specific Residence 1831 you're considering, since included packages vary by community and can change. In our experience, the included-features approach removes a common source of new-construction sticker shock, but the details still deserve a written confirmation — which we get for every client.
How Much Does Residence 1831 Cost in 2026?
Here's the pricing picture. According to Century Communities, Residence 1831 starts around $485,990, with available (often option-loaded or premium-lot) homes listed higher — recent listings ran roughly $545,000 to $590,440. That base is a starting point; homesite premium and options like the 4th bedroom or upgraded primary bath add to it.
| Line item | Rough figure |
|---|---|
| Starting base price | about $485,990 |
| Available homes (option-loaded) | about $545,000–$590,440 |
| Est. price per square foot (base) | about $265/sq ft |
| FHA 3.5% down (on about $500,000) | about $17,500 |
| 20% down payment (on about $500,000) | about $100,000 |
| Est. Nevada property tax (about 0.5–0.6%/yr) | about $2,430–$2,920/year |
| Buyer closing costs (about 2–3%) | about $10,000–$15,000 |
At roughly $265 per square foot at base, Residence 1831 reflects the Lake Las Vegas address more than the raw square footage — you're paying for the gate, the resort amenities, and the master-plan brand as much as the 1,831 feet. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation and the Clark County Assessor, Nevada's low effective property-tax rate — roughly 0.5% to 0.6% of value — plus the state's no personal income tax keep the monthly cost below an equivalent home in the coastal markets many Lake Las Vegas buyers relocate from. On a $500,000 basis, that tax profile can save a relocating household roughly $3,000 to $6,000 a year — a real part of why Nevada resort communities attract out-of-state buyers.
What Does Gated Lake Las Vegas Offer?
A genuine resort lifestyle, built around water in the middle of the desert. According to Lake Las Vegas, the master plan centers on a 320-acre private lake with waterfront dining and the Mediterranean-styled MonteLago Village, plus golf courses, an extensive trail network, and canyon and lake views throughout. It's a destination as much as a neighborhood — a place people visit for the resorts and marina and choose to live for the same reasons. The Bluffs I sits within that setting as its own gated enclave.
For a Residence 1831 buyer, that amenity base is much of the value, and it's already built. You get access to the lake, the trails, the golf, and the village dining, in a gated, upscale setting, at an attainable single-story price. According to the Howard Hughes Corporation and broader Henderson data, eastern Henderson has grown as a desirable, amenity-rich area, and Lake Las Vegas anchors it. Confirm the current HOA dues and exactly what they cover — resort master plans carry amenity costs — before relying on them, and see our Lake Las Vegas buyers guide for the full picture on the community.
Who Is Residence 1831 Built For?
Buyers who want a gated, resort-community address on a single level at an attainable price. The most common is the downsizer or retiree who wants single-story living, low maintenance, and a lock-and-leave lifestyle in an upscale setting. Nearly as common are relocating buyers — often from higher-tax states — drawn to Nevada's tax profile and Lake Las Vegas's resort amenities, second-home buyers who want a manageable single-level home in a destination community, and value buyers who want the Lake Las Vegas address without a seven-figure budget.
What unites them is that they value lifestyle and location over maximum square footage. Residence 1831 is built for buyers who'd rather have a right-sized, single-story home in a gated resort master plan than a larger home in an ordinary neighborhood. In our experience, these buyers are decisive once they see the value — a gated Lake Las Vegas home in the mid-$400,000s is a proposition most didn't know existed. Our first-time buyer and general buyer resources walk through the process, and our moving to Las Vegas guide covers relocation.
How Does Residence 1831 Compare to Other Single-Story New Homes?
Single-story new construction is in high demand across the valley, and knowing the alternatives helps. Residence 1831's edge is the gated, resort Lake Las Vegas setting at an attainable price.
| Dimension | Century Residence 1831 (Lake Las Vegas) | A single-story in a standard community |
|---|---|---|
| Approx. size | about 1,831 sq ft | varies |
| Setting | Gated, waterfront resort master plan | Standard subdivision |
| Starting price | about $485,990 | varies |
| Signature draw | Lake Las Vegas address + amenities | Location-dependent |
| Best for | Downsizers, retirees, second-home buyers | Varies |
The takeaway: choose Residence 1831 when the gated Lake Las Vegas setting and single-level living matter most at an attainable price. Buyers comparing single-story options should also see our guide to single-story homes in Las Vegas, and those wanting a larger single-story with a big garage can review the D.R. Horton Plan 2538 at Heartland Manor. The right choice comes down to whether the resort address or more square footage matters more to you.
What Should Buyers Know About Buying New Construction From Century?
The most important thing is that the on-site sales agent works for Century, not for you. That's their job — but it means the person quoting Residence 1831's price, the options, the included features, and the homesite premium is representing the builder's interests. According to the Nevada Real Estate Division, buyers are entitled to their own licensed representation, and on nearly every builder transaction that representation costs the buyer nothing because the builder has already budgeted a co-broke commission into the price.
Where your own agent earns their keep on a home like this is in the details: confirming what's included versus optional, verifying the HOA dues and exactly what the amenity fees cover, comparing the builder's affiliated financing against outside quotes, negotiating incentives (builders defend base price but move on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits), and keeping the appraisal on track. In our experience, unrepresented buyers leave the most incentive money on the table — because no one at the table was on their side. Bringing your own agent costs you nothing, and if you'd like to line up financing first, we're happy to help you get a pre-approval.
What Should You Ask Before Buying Residence 1831?
A single-story new build in a gated resort master plan adds a few questions a standard purchase doesn't. Before you commit to a Residence 1831 homesite, get clear, written answers on the items below.
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Current base price + homesite premium | Confirm the $485,990 start and any lot premium |
| Den vs 4th bedroom + 2.5-bath option | These options change the layout and price |
| HOA dues + amenity fees | Resort master plans carry amenity costs — get the all-in figure |
| What's included vs optional | Confirm the Home Connect package and other standards |
| Gate arrangement for The Bluffs I | Confirm the gate for your specific enclave |
| Builder incentives (rate buydown / credits) | Usually more negotiable than base price |
The HOA-and-amenity question is the one to nail down here, because a resort master plan like Lake Las Vegas carries amenity costs that a standard subdivision doesn't — and those affect your true monthly number. We confirm the all-in HOA and amenity figure for every client, so the attainable price stays attainable once the dues are counted.
Is Residence 1831 a Good Investment in Lake Las Vegas?
The investment case here is unusual and worth understanding, because it rests on the master-plan brand as much as the home. Owning the entry-level home in a prestige community like Lake Las Vegas is often a smarter play than owning a mid-tier home in an ordinary subdivision — the prestige, the gate, and the amenities lift the whole community, and the value homes tend to appreciate alongside the master plan's overall trajectory rather than being capped by their own price tier. A single-story home from about $485,990 in a community where lakefront estates reach $20 million is buying into a brand that does part of the work.
The fundamentals support it. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Las Vegas metro has posted strong long-run home-price appreciation, and gated, amenity-rich resort communities like Lake Las Vegas have historically held demand well because their appeal is durable and hard to replicate — you can't build a new 320-acre lake in the desert. Single-story homes add to the resilience, since no-stairs living is one of the fastest-growing buyer preferences as the population ages, and a gated, single-level home suits downsizers, retirees, and second-home buyers alike. That broad, growing buyer pool supports resale liquidity. And when it's eventually time to sell, the gated Lake Las Vegas address is exactly the feature that makes a listing stand out against ordinary competition — our Las Vegas market guide puts the broader pricing in context. In our experience, the attainable homes in a prestige master plan are among the easier properties to resell, because they offer a lifestyle most buyers assume costs far more than it does — which keeps the demand pool wide. The one caution is the amenity cost: a resort master plan carries HOA and amenity fees a standard subdivision doesn't, so factor those into your true monthly number and your resale math before you buy.
