Sun City Anthem is the second-largest Del Webb 55-plus community in the Las Vegas valley — 7,144 single-story homes on the elevated south Henderson hillside, immediately west of the broader Anthem master plan. Del Webb (a Pulte brand since 2001) built the community between 1998 and 2008, and the Sun City Anthem Community Association that runs it today is self-managed, with a seven-member board, an on-site general manager, and a $16.6 million annual budget. The community is anchored by three resident-only recreation centers (Anthem Center, Independence Center, Liberty Center), next-door access to Revere Golf Club's two 18-hole courses, and the broadest panoramic Las Vegas Strip views of any 55-plus community in southern Nevada — a function of the hillside elevation along the McCullough Range foothills.
What separates Sun City Anthem from its larger cousin Sun City Summerlin is the Henderson lifestyle profile and the hillside view orientation. Where Sun City Summerlin sits on relatively flat western-valley terrain with the Spring Mountains in the distance, Sun City Anthem is meaningfully elevated and view-oriented — most homes carry at least an indirect view of the Strip skyline, and the most premium hillside lots offer the direct, dramatic views normally associated with luxury enclaves like MacDonald Highlands. Henderson's repeated top-10 safest-large-cities ranking (per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data) is a real differentiator for 55-plus relocators. The trade-off is slightly newer construction at higher per-square-foot pricing than the comparably equipped 1991–1999 Sun City Summerlin sections.
This guide is the buyer-side map for Sun City Anthem in 2026: how Del Webb built the community and who governs it now, how the sections and price tiers are organized, what Revere Golf Club offers, what the three recreation centers contain, what the 2026 assessments actually are, what the resale market is doing, and how the community compares head-to-head against Sun City Summerlin and the newer 55-plus alternatives.
Sun City Anthem is Del Webb's 7,144-home, 55-plus community on the south Henderson hillside, built 1998–2008 and self-managed by an association with a $16.6 million annual budget. Residents get three recreation centers totaling 130,000 square feet, next-door access to Revere Golf Club's two 18-hole courses, and the widest Strip views of any Las Vegas-area active-adult community. Budget $435 per quarter in main-association dues as of 2026, then shop by view tier before floor plan.
- Sun City Anthem holds 7,144 single-story Del Webb homes built 1998–2008 across the south Henderson hillside.
- The main-association assessment is $435 per quarter in 2026; Pinnacle Village and the Villas pay more.
- Three recreation centers total 130,000 square feet: Anthem Center 77,000, Independence 31,000, Liberty 22,000.
- Revere Golf Club's Lexington and Concord courses sit next door and sell a dedicated SCA Annual Pass.
- Strip-view hillside homes command the premium; interior 1999–2001 resales are the value entry near $345,000.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS 2025 closing data, the GLVAR metro processed roughly 38,500 residential transactions across $19.8B in volume — and across our 9,600+ career closings (including 789 in 2025), we've seen the patterns that shape what's covered below. In our experience, the numbers GLVAR publishes monthly tell only part of the story in a 55-plus community, where the view tier and the recreation-center calendar move buyers more than the metro median does.

What Exactly Is Sun City Anthem in 2026?
Sun City Anthem is an age-restricted (55-plus) active-adult community on the elevated south Henderson hillside, immediately west of the broader Anthem master plan and roughly 4 miles south of the I-215 Beltway. According to the Sun City Anthem Community Association, the community contains 7,144 single-story, energy-efficient homes and roughly 13,000 residents, developed by Del Webb between 1998 and 2008. Two product types sit inside that total: 227 single-family homes in Pinnacle Village, the only gated neighborhood inside Sun City Anthem, and 162 attached villa homes that carry their own higher assessment. Everything else is detached single-story product on open (non-gated) streets patrolled by the association's own Community Patrol volunteers.
The community is fully built out — there is no remaining master-developer new construction — so all 2026 activity is resale, with occasional teardown-and-rebuild on the most premium hillside lots. According to the association's About page, the amenity inventory runs five pools, three hot tubs, two fitness centers, a 300-seat theater, 12 tennis courts, 16 pickleball courts, seven bocce courts, three paddle-tennis courts, a resident library, a dedicated Veterans Hall, a restaurant, craft rooms, and a fully outfitted woodshop, spread across the three recreation centers. The association supports over 60 chartered clubs and special-interest groups and operates with about 80 full-time-equivalent employees. The community sits inside Henderson city limits, served by Henderson Police and Henderson Fire, and — for visiting grandchildren — the Clark County School District.
How Did Del Webb Build Sun City Anthem, and Who Runs It Today?
Sun City Anthem was one of the three original subdivisions of the Anthem master plan. According to the Anthem, Henderson entry on Wikipedia, Del Webb Corporation opened Anthem home sales in mid-1998, held the grand opening on October 24, 1998, and launched with three products: Anthem Country Club, Sun City Anthem, and Coventry Homes at Anthem. One year after opening, Sun City Anthem had 660 residents; the overall Anthem plan was projected to reach 11,000 to 13,000 homes across more than 5,000 acres. Del Webb's pitch to early buyers included free consultations with professional home designers — a detail that explains why so many first-phase homes still carry unusually consistent original finish packages.
The build-out ran a full decade. According to the association's realtor and buyer information page, prospective residents could choose from 34 models, either a single-family residence or a villa, and the phases marched south and uphill from the Eastern Avenue corridor toward the McCullough foothills. Anthem Center opened as the original hub, with Independence Center (31,000 square feet, home to the 300-seat Freedom Hall theater and the woodshop) and Liberty Center (22,000 square feet, with the indoor warm-water therapy pool and the 16-court pickleball complex) added as the later villages filled in. Del Webb itself became a Pulte brand in 2001, which is why later-phase paperwork and warranties reference Pulte.
Governance is the part most buyers never research and should. According to the association's organizational-structure page, the Sun City Anthem Community Association uses a self-managed policy-governance model — it does not hire an outside management company. A seven-member elected board (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and three directors) sets policy; an on-site staff directed by a general manager implements it. Four governance committees — Architectural Review, Covenants, Finance, and Community Lifestyle — plus service groups for Community Service, Emergency Preparedness, Community Patrol, and Neighborhood Watch handle the day-to-day. The scale is that of a small city: a $16.6 million annual budget and about 80 full-time-equivalent employees. A small slice of each assessment is collected on behalf of the Anthem Community Council, the umbrella body for the wider Anthem master plan, which is why your quarterly statement shows two line items.
Where Is Sun City Anthem and Why Does the Henderson Hillside Positioning Matter?
Sun City Anthem sits along the eastern foothills of the McCullough Range in south Henderson, bounded by Anthem Parkway to the east (the entrance corridor to the broader Anthem master plan), Eastern Avenue to the west, and open desert hillside on the south. The community is reached via I-215 east, exit Eastern Avenue south, then 3 to 4 miles into the hillside. The elevation climbs steadily from the northern edge to the most elevated southern parcels — a meaningful vertical span that produces distinct view tiers between flat-interior sections and the premium hillside lots.
The drive to the Las Vegas Strip runs approximately 15 to 22 minutes during off-peak hours via Eastern Avenue, I-215 west, and I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 15 to 19 minutes via the same corridor. This positions Sun City Anthem meaningfully closer to both the Strip and the airport than Sun City Summerlin (18 to 22 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and US-95) — a practical advantage for active-adult buyers who travel frequently or want quick Smith Center access. Eastern Avenue between Sun City Anthem and the I-215 interchange is a wide, relatively uncongested arterial compared with the heavier west-valley corridors, and the association's main office sits at 2450 Hampton Road, which is where resale buyers deliver their age-verification paperwork.
What Sub-Village Sections Make Up Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem is organized internally into named village sections, each developed in a specific Del Webb building phase between 1998 and 2008. Unlike a typical master plan where named sub-villages have distinct architectural character, Sun City Anthem's sections share the same general Mediterranean and Tuscan vocabulary throughout — the variation is primarily floor plan size, lot orientation (premium-view hillside versus flat interior), product type (detached, gated Pinnacle Village, or attached villa), and vintage (early-phase 1999 to 2002 versus later-phase 2004 to 2008 with slightly larger floor plans and more current finishes at original build).
The table below summarizes the broad section tiers, their approximate 2026 price ranges, and characteristic notes. Pricing is sourced from Clark County Assessor records and GLVAR closing data for the trailing 12 months ending April 2026, when this guide was first published.
| Section tier | Price range (2026) | Character | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium hillside Strip-view | $625K to $900K+ | Top-tier | Direct Strip-skyline orientation, highest elevation |
| Pinnacle Village (gated) | $525K to $785K | Mid-premium | 227 homes behind the only gate inside SCA; $643.50 quarterly assessment |
| Later-phase 2004-2008 | $485K to $725K | Mid-premium | Larger floor plans, southern parcels |
| Mountain view orientation | $465K to $665K | Mid-tier | McCullough Range view, second tier from premium |
| Established 2002-2004 | $425K to $585K | Mid-tier | Mature landscaping, mid-vintage |
| Established 1999-2001 | $375K to $525K | Entry-mid | Earliest construction, smaller plans |
| Entry-phase resale | $345K to $445K | Entry | Smaller 1,400-1,800 sq ft floor plans |
| Villas (attached) | $345K to $485K | Lock-and-leave | 162 duplex-style homes; $1,178.25-$1,328.50 quarterly assessment |
Across all section tiers, the median closed sale at Sun City Anthem ran approximately $525,000 per LVR data for the 12 months ending April 2026 — meaningfully above Sun City Summerlin's median of approximately $475,000, a function of the slightly newer construction vintage and the hillside view orientation that adds premium value to most sections. The luxury tier (closings above $700,000) represented approximately 18 percent of transaction count but approximately 32 percent of total dollar volume across the community.
What Is Revere Golf Club and How Does It Serve Residents?
Revere Golf Club is the 36-hole golf facility immediately adjacent to Sun City Anthem — a Billy Casper and Greg Nash design that opened in phases as the master plan built out. According to Revere Golf Club, the facility operates two 18-hole championship courses: the Lexington Course (7,143 yards, par 72) and the Concord Course (7,034 yards, par 72, with Bermuda fairways and large greens). Both route through the McCullough Range foothills with elevation change and Strip-view orientation on multiple holes, and the clubhouse restaurant, Buckman's Grille, was recently renovated.
Revere is a daily-fee public facility, not a private club — there is no equity initiation and no membership requirement for residents. What Revere does publish is a dedicated SCA Annual Pass for Sun City Anthem residents alongside a Clark County Annual Pass and a Ladies Club, with pricing set seasonally by the club rather than by the association. Because rates move with the season and the pass structure changes year to year, the right move is to pull the current rate card during your tour rather than rely on a printed number; in our experience, the SCA pass is the deciding factor for buyers who plan to play more than roughly once a week.
The structural difference from Sun City Summerlin is important: where Sun City Summerlin operates three golf courses inside its own master plan under the community association, Sun City Anthem residents have preferred access to Revere's two adjacent courses, which are independently operated. For buyers who specifically want golf inside the gates (rather than next door), Sun City Summerlin is the structurally cleaner answer. For buyers who value the broader Henderson lifestyle and hillside view orientation more than inside-the-gates golf, Sun City Anthem is the better fit — and the Revere pass keeps the golf budget predictable without an initiation fee.
What Are the Three Recreation Centers at Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem operates three resident-only recreation centers totaling roughly 130,000 square feet, distributed across the master plan. According to the association's About page, they break down as follows:
Anthem Center — The 77,000-square-foot main community center at the heart of the master plan. Anthem Center holds an outdoor and an indoor pool with spas, the primary fitness center, an indoor walking track, a ceramics room, a computer lab, a sewing room, and the ballroom, with eight tennis courts and seven bocce courts on the grounds. It hosts the largest concentration of resident-club meetings and is the venue for most community-wide events and the on-site restaurant.
Independence Center — A 31,000-square-foot satellite built to serve the central village sections as the community expanded. Independence Center is the performing-arts and hobby hub: Freedom Hall, a full production theater that seats 300; aerobics rooms; a fully outfitted woodshop; a billiard hall; the resident library; and an arts-and-crafts room.
Liberty Center — A 22,000-square-foot satellite built to serve the later-phase southern village sections at full build-out. Liberty Center holds an outdoor pool with spa, an indoor pool, an indoor warm-water therapy pool, and a fitness room, plus four tennis courts, 16 pickleball courts, and three paddle-tennis courts — which makes it the busiest racquet-sports venue inside the master plan and the home of organized pickleball league play.
What Clubs and Activities Make the Lifestyle Work at Sun City Anthem?
According to the Sun City Anthem Community Association, the community supports over 60 chartered clubs and special-interest groups — somewhat below the 80-plus club count at Sun City Summerlin, but spread across a resident base of roughly 13,000 people, which keeps individual clubs large enough to run real leagues and ladders. The calendar spans the same broad categories: sports (pickleball, tennis, paddle tennis, bocce, billiards, golf leagues at Revere), arts and crafts (ceramics, painting, photography, sewing, woodworking in the Independence Center shop), performing arts (theater productions in Freedom Hall, dance, chorus), social and cultural (book clubs, travel clubs, current-events discussion), charitable and civic (Veterans Hall programming, Community Service and Neighborhood Watch groups), and educational (the computer lab, investing, language learning).
Two things distinguish the Sun City Anthem lifestyle in practice. The first is Freedom Hall — a 300-seat production theater inside Independence Center that supports resident theater companies, concerts, and seminars at a scale most 55-plus communities cannot match; the association lists "shows/seminars" as a standing amenity rather than an occasional event. The second is the depth of the resident service groups: the Community Patrol, Neighborhood Watch, and Emergency Preparedness groups are volunteer-run under the association's policy-governance model, which means residents rather than an outside vendor are the visible presence on the streets. For relocators used to a professionally managed HOA, the self-managed model feels more like a small town with its own council than a subdivision with a management company.
In our experience touring 55-plus buyers, the practical test is the weekday morning calendar: at Sun City Anthem, the Anthem Center fitness floor, the indoor walking track, and the Liberty Center pickleball courts are all running by 7 a.m. Buyers who want an active social structure should visit on a weekday, not a weekend, to see the difference between a community with over 60 chartered clubs and one with a brochure.
What HOA Dues Should Buyers Expect at Sun City Anthem?
Assessments at Sun City Anthem are billed quarterly, due January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. According to the association's realtor and buyer information page, the main-association assessment is $435 per quarter for 2026 — roughly $145 per month — funding the three recreation centers, the master-plan landscaping, the volunteer patrol program, architectural review, club operating support, and reserve contributions across a $16.6 million annual budget. Two product types pay more: Pinnacle Village, the gated single-family neighborhood, is assessed $643.50 per quarter in 2026, and the Villa duplexes run $1,178.25 to $1,328.50 per quarter depending on neighborhood, because the association maintains villa exteriors and shared elements.
The table below converts the published 2026 quarterly assessments into monthly-equivalent carrying cost by product type. Verify the current figures with the association before purchase, because the board sets assessments annually.
| Product type | 2026 quarterly assessment | Monthly equivalent | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main association (most single-family homes) | $435.00 | about $145 | Three rec centers, landscaping, patrol, ARC, reserves |
| Pinnacle Village (gated, 227 homes) | $643.50 | about $215 | Main association plus gate and private-street costs |
| Villas (attached, 162 homes) — lowest neighborhood | $1,178.25 | about $393 | Main association plus exterior and shared-element maintenance |
| Villas (attached, 162 homes) — highest neighborhood | $1,328.50 | about $443 | Same, higher-cost neighborhood |
| Anthem Community Council share | Included in the above | — | Small portion collected for the Anthem master-plan council |
Note that Revere golf is not included in the assessment — residents buy daily-fee rounds or the SCA Annual Pass directly from the club. The main-association carrying cost at Sun City Anthem is meaningfully lower than the newer luxury 55-plus alternatives like Trilogy at Summerlin ($315 to $445 monthly) or Stonebridge 55-plus product ($285 to $395 monthly) — a function of the amortized infrastructure of a 25-year-old master plan and a 7,144-home base spreading the fixed-cost overhead.
Which Schools Matter for 55-Plus Buyers With Visiting Grandkids?
Sun City Anthem is age-restricted, so public school assignments are not the purchase consideration they are at family master plans like Centennial Hills or Inspirada. For households expecting frequent grandchild visits, the relevant feeder pattern is the broader south Henderson school cluster — primarily Vanderburg Elementary (8 out of 10 GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (7 out of 10, named for the community's developer), and Coronado High School (6 out of 10). None of these matter for enrollment from a Sun City Anthem address, because a school-age child cannot legally reside in the community — but they matter for grandparents who host summer visits and want nearby summer programs, sports camps, and libraries.
The visiting rules are specific. According to the association's realtor and buyer page, persons under 19 may stay overnight for up to 60 days per calendar year but may not reside there. That 60-day allowance is more generous than many buyers assume — it comfortably covers a full summer visit or a holiday-season stay — but it is a per-calendar-year total, not a per-visit limit, so families who host multiple grandchildren for multiple visits should track the days. For households expecting a longer-term stay (a job transfer, a medical situation, a semester abroad in reverse), work directly with the association before closing to confirm what documentation is required, because the under-19 rule is enforced through the same occupancy-verification process that keeps the community compliant with federal age-restriction law.
For grandparents who want private-school or enrichment options within a short drive during those visits, Henderson International School (PreK through 8) sits inside the Green Valley corridor, and Bishop Gorman High School in west Las Vegas is approximately 30 minutes via I-215 and I-15. The Henderson Libraries' Paseo Verde branch and the Henderson Multigenerational Center are the two most-used weekday destinations for visiting families we work with.
What Is the Resale Market Like at Sun City Anthem in 2026?
According to LVR (Las Vegas REALTORS) closing data for the 12 months ending April 2026, when we first published this guide, Sun City Anthem recorded approximately 548 closed single-family transactions with a median closed price of approximately $525,000 and a median days-on-market of 32 days. The luxury tier — closings above $700,000 — represented approximately 18 percent of transaction count but approximately 32 percent of total dollar volume. Median price per square foot across the community ran approximately $265 to $345 depending on section, with the premium hillside Strip-view sections trading at $375 to $465 per square foot. Inventory across the community stood at approximately 164 active listings at that point.
Resale demand at Sun City Anthem has stayed steady through 2026, driven by the same out-of-state retiree-relocator demand that supports Sun City Summerlin, plus an additional layer of California-relocator demand specifically targeting the Henderson safety profile. In our experience, the Sun City Anthem buyer pool skews more heavily toward out-of-state relocators than the broader Henderson market, and the premium hillside Strip-view tier has been especially resilient. Two practical notes for 2026 buyers: villa product turns over faster than detached homes because it serves the lock-and-leave second-home buyer, and Pinnacle Village listings are scarce enough (227 homes total) that buyers who want the gate should set an alert rather than wait for a Sunday open house.
How Does Sun City Anthem Compare to Sun City Summerlin and Other 55-Plus Options?
Sun City Anthem competes most directly with Sun City Summerlin at the broad-scale tier and with Trilogy at Summerlin, Heritage at Stonebridge, Trilogy Sunstone (Skye Canyon), and Sun City Aliante at the smaller-scale newer-build tier. The table below summarizes the head-to-head comparison against the two largest active-adult anchors.
| Factor | Sun City Anthem | Sun City Summerlin | Trilogy at Summerlin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total homes | 7,144 | 7,779 | 1,250 (smaller) |
| Golf on site | 0 inside (Revere adjacent, SCA pass) | 3 (inside gates) | 0 (adjacent Bear's Best) |
| Recreation centers | 3 (Anthem, Independence, Liberty) | 4 (Mtn Shadows, Pinnacle, Sun Shadows, Desert Vista) | 1 (Trilogy Club) |
| Original build years | 1998-2008 | 1991-1999 | 2018-2024 |
| Hillside Strip views | Yes, broad | Limited | Limited |
| Median home price (2026) | $525K | $475K | $685K |
| Entry-tier price | $345K | $310K | $525K |
| HOA monthly equivalent | $145 (main) to $443 (villas) | $130 to $215 | $315 to $445 |
| Management | Self-managed, 80 FTE staff | Self-managed | Management company |
| Drive to Strip | 15 to 22 minutes | 18 to 22 minutes | 18 to 22 minutes |
| Best for | Henderson preference, hillside views, newer construction | Largest scale, three-course golf inside gates, lowest entry | Newest construction, smaller scale |
In rough generalization: Sun City Anthem wins on Henderson lifestyle, hillside Strip views, and slightly newer construction — the choice for relocators who specifically prefer Henderson's safety ranking and want a hillside view orientation. Sun City Summerlin wins on scale, three-course golf inside the gates, and lowest entry pricing — the choice for retiree-relocators prioritizing the original Del Webb Sun City brand and inside-the-gates golf. Trilogy at Summerlin wins on new-construction polish at meaningfully higher HOA. See the complete Las Vegas 55-plus communities guide for the full comparison across all the major active-adult options in the valley, and Sun City Anthem versus Del Webb Lake Las Vegas for the established-versus-new decision.
What Is the Age-Restriction Policy and How Is It Enforced?
Sun City Anthem operates under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) framework, which permits age-restricted housing where at least 80 percent of occupied units house at least one person 55 or older. According to the association's realtor and buyer information page, the community's published standard tracks that federal test exactly: at least 80 percent of dwelling units must be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older, and the qualifying occupant must be a primary occupant who stays overnight at least 150 days per calendar year. That 150-day test is the piece out-of-state buyers most often miss — a Sun City Anthem home held as a lightly used second residence can still count toward the 55-plus threshold only if the qualifying owner actually sleeps there roughly five months a year.
The under-19 rule is equally specific: persons under 19 may stay overnight for up to 60 days per calendar year but may not reside there. There is no published requirement in the association's buyer guidance that a second adult occupant meet a separate minimum age, so a 55-plus primary occupant with a younger spouse or partner qualifies as long as the primary occupant meets the 150-night test. Guests over 19 are simply guests.
Enforcement runs through the resale process. Buyers submit age verification (a driver's license, passport, or other government identification) to the association at 2450 Hampton Road at or before closing, and the association tracks the age composition of the community on a rolling basis so that the 80-percent threshold is documented continuously — the HOPA exemption from familial-status discrimination rules depends on that documentation being current. According to HUD, a community that fails to maintain the survey loses the exemption, which is why the Covenants committee treats occupancy verification as a compliance function rather than a courtesy. Practically, expect the age paperwork to be one of the first items your escrow officer requests after acceptance.
What Lifestyle Amenities Are Available Beyond Golf and Recreation Centers?
Beyond the three recreation centers and the adjacent Revere Golf Club, Sun City Anthem residents have access to a meaningful Henderson amenity profile. The District at Green Valley Ranch (approximately 12 minutes north via Eastern Avenue and I-215) is the dominant open-air shopping and dining destination in Henderson with approximately 60 retail and dining tenants. Anthem Highlands shopping at the entrance to the broader Anthem master plan provides daily-life retail approximately 5 minutes from the Sun City Anthem entrance. St. Rose Dominican Hospital (the largest medical campus in south Henderson) is approximately 9 minutes via Eastern Avenue.
Healthcare access is a meaningful differentiator for 55-plus buyers. The St. Rose Dominican Hospital Henderson campus is a 165-bed full-service hospital with emergency services, surgical services, cardiology, oncology, and outpatient diagnostics. Together with the broader Henderson medical campus profile — including the Henderson Hospital expansion that opened in 2018 — south Henderson now offers one of the deeper healthcare clusters in the Las Vegas valley, with multiple full-service hospital campuses within 15 minutes of the Sun City Anthem entrance. For 55-plus relocators specifically prioritizing healthcare proximity, the Henderson medical campus profile is a meaningful advantage versus more remote 55-plus alternatives, and Liberty Center's indoor warm-water therapy pool is the amenity most often mentioned by residents managing joint or post-surgical rehabilitation at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the full price range across Sun City Anthem in 2026?
Approximately $345,000 for entry-tier resale on the earliest 1999-2001 phases and the attached villas, up to over $900,000 for the most premium hillside Strip-view homes on the upper southern streets. The median closing sat at approximately $525,000 per LVR data for the 12 months ending April 2026, with the luxury tier above $700,000 representing approximately 18 percent of transaction count and 32 percent of total dollar volume. Pinnacle Village, the only gated section, trades in the mid-premium band.
Does Sun City Anthem have golf inside the community?
No. Sun City Anthem residents have preferred access at the adjacent Revere Golf Club — two 18-hole, par-72 courses (Lexington at 7,143 yards and Concord at 7,034 yards) designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash. Revere operates as a daily-fee public facility and publishes a dedicated SCA Annual Pass for Sun City Anthem residents, so there is no initiation fee. For buyers who specifically want golf inside the master plan gates, Sun City Summerlin's three-course in-gates structure is the cleaner answer.
How does Sun City Anthem HOA compare to Sun City Summerlin?
Sun City Anthem's main-association assessment is $435 per quarter in 2026 — about $145 per month — which lands slightly above Sun City Summerlin's $130 to $215 range at the entry tier and well inside it overall. Pinnacle Village ($643.50 per quarter) and the villas ($1,178.25 to $1,328.50 per quarter) pay more because the association maintains the gate or the building exteriors. Both communities are self-managed rather than run by an outside management company.
What is the hillside Strip view tier worth at Sun City Anthem?
The premium hillside Strip-view homes command roughly a 25 to 35 percent price premium per square foot over equivalent flat-interior sections — approximately $375 to $465 per square foot versus the $265 to $345 community-wide average as of the 12 months ending April 2026. For relocators specifically buying for the view, the premium is well-supported by the resale data; for buyers who do not prioritize the view, the established interior sections offer meaningfully better dollar-per-square-foot value.
What is the age-restriction policy at Sun City Anthem?
At least 80 percent of dwelling units must be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older, and that qualifying occupant must stay overnight at least 150 days per calendar year. Persons under 19 may stay overnight up to 60 days per calendar year but may not reside in the home. Buyers submit age verification to the association at or before closing, and the community operates under the federal HOPA framework.
Is Sun City Anthem actually in the broader Anthem master plan?
Yes and no. Sun City Anthem was one of the three original subdivisions Del Webb launched at Anthem's October 1998 grand opening, alongside Anthem Country Club and Coventry Homes at Anthem. Today it operates as its own self-managed community association with its own board, staff, and $16.6 million budget, while a small portion of each assessment is collected for the Anthem Community Council, the umbrella body for the wider master plan.
How long is the commute from Sun City Anthem to the Strip and the airport?
The drive to the Las Vegas Strip runs approximately 15 to 22 minutes via I-215 west and I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 15 to 19 minutes via the same I-215 corridor. Sun City Anthem is meaningfully closer to both the Strip and the airport than Sun City Summerlin (18 to 22 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and US-95) — a real advantage for active-adult buyers who travel frequently or value quick downtown access.
Should You Tour Sun City Anthem With Nevada Real Estate Group?
If the shortlist has come down to Sun City Anthem versus Sun City Summerlin, the decision usually turns on three things we can show you in a single afternoon: the view tier your budget actually buys, the difference between a $435-per-quarter main-association home and a villa at more than twice that, and how the Revere SCA Annual Pass compares with inside-the-gates golf at Summerlin for the number of rounds you really play. Across the 9,600+ closings Nevada Real Estate Group has represented — 789 of them in 2025 — the 55-plus buyers who end up happiest are the ones who toured on a weekday morning, walked all three recreation centers, and priced the assessment by product type before they fell in love with a floor plan.
Our Henderson team lives in this market. We keep a running list of Pinnacle Village and villa resales because both are scarce, we know which upper-hillside streets carry a direct Strip line rather than a glimpse, and we handle the association's age-verification paperwork as part of the escrow checklist so it never delays a closing. If you are relocating from out of state, we can run the 150-night primary-occupancy test against your actual travel plans before you write an offer, which matters for buyers who intend to split time between Nevada and a second home.
Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759, email info@nevadagroup.com, or start with the Sun City Anthem community page for the current active listings and the section directory. We will send a standing-inventory summary by view tier, the 2026 assessment schedule, and a side-by-side against Sun City Summerlin so the first tour is a decision tour, not a discovery tour.
