The pitch buyers remember on this tour is "it's all built in" — and for Woodside's Cedar Plan 2 at Ashwood at Cadence in Henderson, that's largely true, just not in the way the phrase usually implies. Woodside includes a substantial package of energy-efficiency and healthy-home features as standard on these homes — the kind of things many builders sell as costly upgrades. Pair that with a genuinely useful layout — a first-floor primary suite plus an upstairs loft in about 2,608 square feet — and the Cedar Plan 2 is a practical, well-equipped home at an attainable Henderson price. Across the roughly 9,600 closings our team at Nevada Real Estate Group has represented, buyers consistently underestimate how much the "included" features matter until they price the same items as upgrades elsewhere. This is the home featured in our latest tour.
This guide breaks down the Cedar Plan 2 — how the first-floor-primary layout works, what Woodside actually includes as standard, what it costs at Ashwood in 2026, and who it fits. It draws on Woodside's and Cadence's published materials plus our own experience with Henderson new-construction buyers, and it's paired with our video tour so you can walk it yourself.

What Is Woodside's Cedar Plan 2 at Ashwood?
The Cedar Plan 2 is a two-story single-family home at Ashwood at Cadence, a Woodside neighborhood within the Cadence master plan in Henderson. According to Woodside Homes, the plan (builder code Cedar 2A) runs about 2,608 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 baths, over two levels with a 2-car garage. It's the larger of Ashwood's plans, which range from about 2,441 to 2,608 square feet across the 67-lot neighborhood.
The layout is the practical draw. The Cedar Plan 2 places the primary suite on the first floor — a real convenience for buyers who want the owners' bedroom on the main level, with a spa-like bath and an oversized walk-in closet — while the secondary bedrooms and an upstairs loft occupy the second floor, with a bonus-room option available. A front porch, a well-appointed laundry, and an open main-level living area round it out. The first-floor primary plus upstairs loft is a flexible combination: the owners get main-level living, and the upstairs works for kids, guests, or a second living space.

A note on precision: Woodside prices and configures homes by homesite and updates often, Ashwood's gate status within Cadence wasn't confirmed, and what's "included" versus optional can vary — so confirm the exact price, configuration, included features, any current upgrade credit, and gate status of a specific Cedar Plan 2 homesite with the builder before you write an offer. For the master-plan picture, see our overview of Cadence's new-home buildout, and for the builder, our Woodside Homes guide.
What Does Woodside Actually Include as Standard?
This is where the "it's all included" pitch needs a precise answer, because Woodside doesn't market a program literally called "upgrades included." What it does market is Living Well Solutions — feature packages organized by lifestyle — and, at Ashwood specifically, a set of healthy-home and energy features included as standard on every home. According to Woodside Homes, those standard features include energy-efficient lighting and appliances, advanced insulation, MERV-13 air filters, water filtration, and eco-conscious materials.
The certifications back it up. According to Woodside's Ashwood materials, the homes are built to meet ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready standards — which Woodside describes as roughly 40% to 50% more efficient than standard new construction — along with EPA Indoor airPLUS and WaterSense labeling for reduced water use. Those are genuine, valuable inclusions, and pricing them as upgrades elsewhere would add real money. The honest caveat: if the tour referenced a specific "upgrade credit," that's likely a limited-time incentive rather than a standing program, so confirm the current offer and exactly what's standard versus optional with the Ashwood sales office. We verify the included-features list for every client, because "included" is where the real value — and the occasional overstatement — lives in new construction.
Why Does a First-Floor Primary Suite Matter?
Because it solves a problem a two-story home usually creates. On the Cedar Plan 2, the primary suite is on the main level, which means the owners live on one floor — no stairs to the bedroom at the end of the day, easier aging-in-place, and a quieter primary removed from the upstairs bedrooms. For a two-story home, that's a meaningful upgrade in livability, and it's one of the most-requested layouts we hear about from Henderson buyers.
The first-floor primary also broadens who the home works for. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Henderson keeps drawing families, remote workers, and buyers planning to age in place, and a main-level owners' suite suits all of them — a family with kids upstairs, a couple who wants the primary away from the noise, or a buyer thinking about long-term accessibility. The upstairs loft and bedrooms give the household room to grow or host, while the primary stays conveniently on the main floor. In our experience, first-floor-primary two-story plans hold demand at resale precisely because they offer the best of both worlds — main-level living plus upstairs space — and Cedar Plan 2 delivers that in a growing master plan.
How Much Does Cedar Plan 2 Cost at Ashwood in 2026?
Here's the pricing picture. According to Woodside Homes, the Cedar Plan 2 starts around $531,000 — which puts a brand-new, feature-rich, first-floor-primary home in an established Henderson master plan at a competitive price. That base is a starting point; homesite premium and any selected options add to it, and pricing moves week to week.
| Line item | Rough figure |
|---|---|
| Starting base price | about $531,000 |
| Est. price per square foot | about $204/sq ft |
| FHA 3.5% down payment | about $18,585 |
| 20% down payment | about $106,200 |
| Est. Nevada property tax (about 0.5–0.6%/yr) | about $2,650–$3,190/year |
| Homeowners insurance (est.) | about $90–$160/month |
| Buyer closing costs (about 2–3%) | about $10,600–$15,900 |
At roughly $204 per square foot, the Cedar Plan 2 is a strong value for a first-floor-primary home with this much included in a Cadence neighborhood. A starting price near $531,000 keeps it within reach of many move-up buyers, and an FHA loan at 3.5% down is roughly $18,585. 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 carrying cost below an equivalent home in the coastal markets many Henderson buyers relocate from. On a $531,000 basis, that tax profile can save a relocating household roughly $3,000 to $6,000 a year — and the included energy features trim the utility bill on top.
Who Is Cedar Plan 2 Built For?
Buyers who want main-level living plus upstairs space, with efficiency built in. The most common is the move-up buyer who wants a first-floor primary without giving up the extra bedrooms and loft a two-story provides. Nearly as common are families who want the kids upstairs and the owners on the main floor, buyers planning to age in place who value the main-level suite, and efficiency-minded buyers drawn to Woodside's included healthy-home and energy features.
What unites them is that they want practicality and value over showpiece square footage. Cedar Plan 2 is built for buyers who'd rather have a smart, efficient, first-floor-primary home in a growing master plan than a larger, plainer home that costs more to run. In our experience, these buyers tend to be satisfied long after closing, because a home that lives conveniently and costs less to operate keeps delivering. Our first-time buyer and general buyer resources walk through the whole process, from pre-approval to keys.
Where Is Cadence, and What Does the Master Plan Offer?
Cadence is one of Henderson's largest and most amenity-rich master plans, on the city's east side near Lake Las Vegas and the 95. According to Cadence, the community is built around a central park, miles of trails, a community garden, sports courts, a pool, and regular resident events — designed as a walkable, connected place rather than a subdivision. Henderson consistently ranks among the safest and most desirable cities in the valley, with strong schools and quick access to employment corridors and the airport.
For a Cedar Plan 2 buyer, Ashwood's location inside Cadence adds real value beyond the four walls. The master plan's parks and trails support an active household, the amenity calendar builds neighborhood connection, and the newer infrastructure means new schools and utilities. According to the Howard Hughes Corporation and Cadence's own materials, the master plan has been one of the best-selling communities in the country in recent years, which speaks to sustained demand. Ashwood is a small 67-lot neighborhood within that larger community, so you get the intimacy of a compact enclave plus the amenities of a major master plan. Confirm Ashwood's gate status and the HOA structure before relying on them, and see our guard-gated communities overview if a true gate is a priority.
How Does Cedar Plan 2 Compare to Other Cadence New Homes?
Several builders build in Cadence, and knowing the alternatives helps. Here's how the Woodside Cedar Plan 2 fits against the D.R. Horton plans we've toured in Cadence.
| Dimension | Woodside Cedar Plan 2 | D.R. Horton Plan 2660 |
|---|---|---|
| Approx. size | about 2,608 sq ft | about 2,660 sq ft |
| Primary suite | First floor | Upstairs (downstairs bedroom option) |
| Signature draw | Included healthy-home + energy features | Bonus room + flex space |
| Starting price | about $531,000 | about $537,990 |
| Best for | Buyers wanting a first-floor primary | Families wanting flex space |
The takeaway: choose the Cedar Plan 2 when a first-floor primary suite and included efficiency features matter most, and compare it to the D.R. Horton Plan 2660 at Symmetry Falls if flexible bonus space is the priority, or the single-story D.R. Horton Plan 2754 Multi-Gen if you need an attached suite. All are in Cadence — they simply solve for different layouts and priorities within the same master plan.
What Should Buyers Know About Buying New Construction From Woodside?
The most important thing is that the on-site sales agent works for Woodside, not for you. That's their job — but it means the person quoting the Cedar Plan 2's price, the included features, any upgrade credit, 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 exactly what's included versus optional (especially given the "it's all included" pitch), verifying the gate status and HOA, pinning down any current upgrade credit, 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 Cedar Plan 2?
A feature-rich new build in a master plan adds a few questions a resale purchase doesn't. Before you commit to a Cedar Plan 2 homesite, get clear, written answers on the items below.
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What's included vs optional | Confirm the standard healthy-home + energy features for your home |
| Any current upgrade credit | "Upgrades included" may mean a limited-time incentive |
| Current base price + homesite premium | Confirm the $531,000 start and any lot premium |
| Gate status for Ashwood | Cadence mixes gated and non-gated neighborhoods |
| HOA dues + what they cover | Get the all-in monthly figure in writing |
| Builder incentives (rate buydown / credits) | Usually more negotiable than base price |
The included-versus-optional question is the one to nail down, because the value of the Cedar Plan 2 rests heavily on what Woodside actually builds in as standard. We confirm exactly what's included and press on any current upgrade credit for every client, so the "it's all included" pitch is backed by a written list before you sign.
How Do the Included Efficiency Features Save You Money?
The included energy package isn't just a marketing checkbox — it shows up on your utility bill every month, and in Las Vegas's cooling-heavy climate that adds up. Woodside builds Ashwood homes to ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready standards, which the builder describes as roughly 40% to 50% more efficient than standard new construction. In practice, a tighter, better-insulated envelope, efficient HVAC, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances can cut summer cooling costs meaningfully — often $50 to $150 a month during peak season versus an older resale home of the same size, which can total $600 to $1,500 a year in savings. Over ten years of ownership, that's $6,000 to $15,000 that stays in your pocket.
Then there's the cost of adding these features to a resale home yourself. Upgrading insulation, swapping to efficient appliances, adding water filtration, and installing MERV-13 filtration on an older home can run several thousand dollars, and some improvements — like envelope tightness built into new construction — can't be fully retrofitted at all. The WaterSense labeling trims water use by at least 20%, which matters in a desert market where water costs keep climbing. When you compare the Cedar Plan 2 to a resale home at a similar price, factor the lower operating cost and the full builder warranty into the math — a home that costs $1,000 or more less per year to run, and won't need a roof or HVAC for years, can be the better total-cost buy even at a similar sticker.
Is Cedar Plan 2 a Good Investment in Cadence?
For a value-focused buyer, the investment case is stronger than the modest price suggests. An attainable, efficient, first-floor-primary home near $531,000 in a growing, amenity-rich master plan competes for a broad buyer pool at resale — first-time move-up buyers, families, and downsizers all shop this price and layout, which supports both liquidity and price stability. The first-floor primary in particular widens the audience, because it appeals to buyers planning to age in place as well as families who want the owners' suite on the main level.
The numbers back the durability. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Las Vegas metro has posted strong long-run home-price appreciation, and Henderson's desirability keeps it near the front of that growth. Cadence's status as one of the best-selling master plans in the country speaks to sustained demand, and a newer, efficient home there tends to show and appraise well against older resale competition. The included energy features also age well as a selling point — buyers increasingly ask about efficiency, and a home built to ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready standards answers that question before it's asked. And when it's eventually time to sell, the first-floor primary and the efficiency package are exactly the features that make a listing stand out — our Las Vegas market guide puts the broader pricing in context. In our experience, buyers who enter at an attainable, in-demand price point with efficiency built in tend to build equity fastest, because the home stays easy to sell to the next buyer.
