SAFETY & CRIME
Is Sun City Anthem South Safe?
Yes. Sun City Anthem South is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large U.S. cities in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. A 90% homeownership rate, stable long-tenured residents, and the foothills setting combine to make typical incidents here the quietest of suburban property matters.
- Safest large U.S. cities, Henderson rankingFBI UCR-based national comparisons
- Henderson Police Department coverageCity of Henderson services — not LVMPD
- Homeownership rate in the communityDel Webb community records
- Violent crime vs national averageFBI Uniform Crime Reporting
What Buyers Should Know
Owner-occupancy at the 90% level does quiet, structural work on a neighborhood: long-tenured residents know each other, watch for anything out of the ordinary, and have a personal stake in property standards. Combined with the Henderson Police Department's coverage of a city that funds public safety above national per-capita norms, Sun City Anthem South sits at the low end of Henderson's already-low crime picture.
The Anthem Marketplace commercial corridor on Eastern Avenue sees the property incidents typical of any active shopping zone — vehicle break-ins in parking lots, concentrated well away from the residential streets. The community itself is a quiet foothills neighborhood where the busiest activity is morning trail traffic and afternoon pickleball matches.
For buyers wanting additional context, the community's elevated foothills terrain and the 55+ ownership demographic both function as indirect safety factors: fewer transient visitors, predictable daily rhythms, and engaged residents who notice disruptions quickly. Standard suburban precautions cover the realistic risk picture thoroughly.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Sun City Anthem South Score?
Sun City Anthem South earns top marks for retirement amenities, safety, and tax efficiency, with honest trade-offs on summer heat and the 55+ age restriction. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating retiree before a first tour.
Grade A: Safety
Henderson Police Department coverage; Henderson ranks among the safest large U.S. cities per FBI UCR-based comparisons. Stable 90% owner-occupancy adds a quiet-neighborhood multiplier.
Grade A: Amenities
Three recreation centers, 100,000+ sq ft, 100+ clubs, championship golf, resort pools, and a community trail system — among the deepest 55+ amenity stacks in the country.
Grade A-: Cost of Living
Zero state income tax, 0.5–0.75% effective property tax with 3% cap, and a $554K ZIP-area median list below Henderson's $548K citywide figure at the low end of the plan.
Grade B+: Commute & Access
Anthem Marketplace 10 minutes, Henderson Hospital 15, airport and Strip 25 — adequate for retirement, slightly long for workers.
Grade B+: Outdoor Access
Community trail system connects to Henderson's broader network; McCullough Range views from elevated lots; Lake Mead about 20 minutes east via Lake Mead Parkway.
Grade B: Schools
Not applicable as a 55+ community — no zoned CCSD schools. Henderson International School is the nearest private option for visiting families or those with non-qualifying household members.

Quick Answer
Is Sun City Anthem South a good place to retire?
Yes — by most active-retirement measures, it ranks among Henderson's strongest. Sun City Anthem South pairs three recreation centers, championship golf, and 100+ social clubs with single-story Del Webb homes, Nevada's zero income tax, and a 30-day market pace that shows the community stays liquid. The honest trade-offs: the 55+ age requirement limits your buyer pool on resale, 2001-era construction warrants system inspections, and summer heat runs real at 105°F+. For households that qualify, the lifestyle-per-dollar argument is compelling.

Who Lives in Sun City Anthem South?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Sun City Anthem South — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put roughly 6,000+ residents inside Sun City Anthem South specifically, across about 2,800+ households, with a median age of 68 and a 90% homeownership rate.
The Census does not break Sun City Anthem South out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the community, our closing data shows a blend of California and Pacific Northwest retirees, military veterans drawn by the VA-loan eligibility and Henderson's safety record, and long-tenured Del Webb loyalists who moved up from smaller Sun City communities.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Sun City Anthem South Area Growing?
Sun City Anthem South is essentially built out — the 2,800+ homes are overwhelmingly resale — while Henderson continues to expand. The city has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on the finite, desirable stock within this nationally recognized 55+ community.
Henderson citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside the community, growth means turnover, not expansion: 317 active ZIP-area listings in June 2026 show how actively the stock trades. That is the investment logic of a built-out 55+ plan — no new supply can dilute it, while every boomer household that retires to Henderson adds demand for the single-story, amenity-rich housing Sun City Anthem South uniquely delivers.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Sun City Anthem South Score for Retirement Livability?
Sun City Anthem South earns top marks for amenity depth, safety, and tax efficiency — the three drivers retirement relocators weight most. Trade-offs: summer heat above 105°F, 2001-era construction requiring inspection attention, and the 55+ age restriction narrowing resale buyers.

Each advantage below links to a primary source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, FBI crime data, Census figures, and City of Henderson records.

Anthem Center, Liberty Center, and Independence Center collectively deliver 100,000+ sq ft of amenities — more than most 55+ communities build in total.

- FBI UCR / City of Henderson
Henderson safety and services
Henderson Police Department, a city that ranks among America's safest large cities per FBI UCR-based comparisons, and city services funded above national per-capita norms.

WHY BUY IN SUN CITY ANTHEM SOUTH

Monthly dues run $180 to $350 covering all three Sun City Anthem recreation centers — Anthem Center, Liberty Center, and Independence Center — with 100,000+ square feet of amenity space, resort pools, fitness, tennis, pickleball, ballrooms, arts studios, and social programming for 100+ chartered clubs.

Should I Retire to Sun City Anthem South?
Every year, households from California, Arizona, and the Pacific Northwest discover that the retirement lifestyle priced out of reach on the coast is attainable in Henderson. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that single number drives most retirement relocations.
Why California Retirees Are Choosing Sun City Anthem South
The tax math is clear: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero per the Nevada Department of Taxation. A household with $150,000 in retirement income saves roughly $8,000–$12,000 per year in state taxes alone. Sun City Anthem South adds the retirement-community argument that coastal California cannot answer at the price: single-story Del Webb homes, three recreation centers, championship golf, and a 55+ neighborhood where 90% of residents own their homes.
At a $550,000 budget, retirees in coastal California are looking at a condo with HOA fees that rival Henderson's and no active-adult amenity stack. That same budget in Sun City Anthem South secures a single-story home with McCullough Range views, full access to 100,000+ square feet of resort amenities, and 100+ social clubs — plus Nevada's 3% property-tax cap that protects the carrying cost for decades.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across the Sun City Anthem South ZIP area (89044/89052) is $554,014. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data places Henderson among the safest large U.S. cities, and the community's 90% homeownership rate reflects the stable, long-tenured ownership base.
Sun City Anthem South runs on retirement income, healthcare, and golf. Henderson Hospital is 15 minutes via St. Rose Parkway, Anthem Marketplace anchors daily retail 10 minutes away, and the I-215 puts Harry Reid Airport and major medical centers 25 minutes from the community. The amenity stack — three recreation centers, two golf courses, 100+ clubs — keeps most residents busy without leaving the Henderson foothills.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Sun City Anthem South vs. California
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category that matters in retirement. Nevada's zero state income tax and sub-1% effective property tax make the math compelling, and the active-adult amenity package absorbs what would otherwise be paid memberships, gym fees, and social-club dues.
| Metric | Sun City Anthem South, NV | Coastal California |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Median List Price (ZIP area) | $554,014 | ~$900K+ comparable active adult |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.75% | ~1.1% on new purchases |
| Rec-Center Access | Included in $180–$350/mo HOA | $100–$300/mo separate memberships |

Sun City Anthem South Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Single-family homes in the ZIP area typically rent for about $2,200–$2,800 monthly, with 55+-qualified tenants only under the community's age restrictions. The deep owner-occupancy rate — roughly 90% — keeps the rental market thin and tenure long. Investors must verify HOA rental-cap rules in the CC&Rs before purchase. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Henderson — read the rules before underwriting nightly income.

Start Your Retirement SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to Sun City Anthem South in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Sun City Anthem South buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack. The 55+ age-verification step is unique to this community but adds minimal time.
Confirm household age eligibility
Verify that at least one permanent household resident is 55 or older before scheduling showings. The HOA age-verification process typically involves a photo ID review in escrow and is straightforward with the right paperwork.
Pick your section and set a budget
Decide what you are buying: $370K–$450K Desert Sage and Trail Side interiors, $450K–$510K Golf View and Liberty View, or $510K–$600K+ South Ridge and Foothills premium-view lots. Each section carries different terrain and commute-to-centers profiles.
Get pre-approved — retirement-income aware
Conventional, FHA, and VA loans all work in this price range. If you are qualifying on Social Security, pension, or investment income, use a lender experienced with retirement-income documentation — underwriting differs from W-2 qualification.
Hire a Sun City Anthem specialist
Section terrain, view-lot premiums, and HOA resale-package timelines vary — work with an agent who knows which cul-de-sacs carry the widest views and which sections have the longest trail access.
Tour in person or virtually
Walk a Desert Sage interior, a Golf View fairway lot, and a South Ridge elevated premium in one afternoon — the community's sections feel genuinely different. Virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers planning one trip.
Write and negotiate the offer
View-lot and golf-adjacent homes need clean, fast terms; interior sections give buyers more negotiating room. Your agent's read on the specific street sets the strategy.
Inspection, HOA resale package & appraisal
Del Webb 2001 construction: inspect roof, HVAC, and water heater. Pull the full HOA resale package — dues, reserves, transfer fees, and age-restriction documentation — and allow a few extra escrow days for delivery.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Henderson water), then handle the DMV — driver's license within 30 days of Nevada residency, vehicle registration within 60.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in Sun City Anthem South right now?
The 55+ owner-occupancy rate of roughly 90% keeps the rental market thin and rentals age-restricted — finding a qualifying rental unit is genuinely harder than buying. For retirement households with the down payment, the equity-build and tax-efficiency arguments for ownership are particularly strong at Nevada's low effective property-tax rate.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a ZIP-area-median Sun City Anthem South home for five years nets out cheaper than renting once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $135,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter walks away with none. A built-out 55+ community with no new supply gives that appreciation assumption structural support in a way few other community types can match.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $245/mo blended HOA, ~7% resale costs.

What ZIP codes cover Sun City Anthem South?
The southern section spans portions of ZIP codes 89044 and 89052 in Henderson, on elevated foothills terrain near the McCullough Range. The ZIP line affects insurance quotes and mail but not community access — every home gets all three recreation centers. Confirm the exact ZIP for any specific address during escrow, which in Nevada typically runs 30–45 days.
How far is Sun City Anthem South from the Strip?
About 25 minutes via I-215 to I-15 North, and Harry Reid Airport is a similar 25-minute drive. Closer to daily life: Anthem Marketplace runs roughly 10 minutes east on Eastern Avenue, and Henderson Hospital is about 15 minutes via St. Rose Parkway. Most residents find the slight remove from the resort corridor a feature — quieter streets, elevated desert views, and shopping within a short drive.
Is Sun City Anthem South a good investment?
Sun City Anthem consistently ranks among the most sought-after 55+ communities nationally, and limited inventory against steady buyer demand has supported long-run values. Nevada adds retirement tailwinds: no state income tax per the Nevada Department of Taxation, plus a 3% annual cap on primary-residence property-tax increases under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. We can pull recent resale comps on any street on request.
What social activities and clubs are available?
Over 100 chartered clubs and organizations operate across the three centers — travel clubs, art guilds, pickleball leagues, card groups, and more — supported by ballrooms, arts studios, and meeting rooms. The social calendar ranks among the most active of any 55+ community in the United States. Visit Anthem Center on a weekday morning before you buy; the activity level tells the story better than any listing sheet.
Are grandchildren and family allowed to visit?
Yes — grandchildren and family members of any age are welcome as temporary visitors. The 55+ restriction applies to permanent residents only, not guests. Sun City Anthem's governing documents typically allow visits up to 30–90 days; confirm the current limit in the resale package during escrow. If extended stays are part of your plans, let our team verify the policy before you write an offer.
What are property taxes like in Sun City Anthem South?
Low by national standards. The Clark County Assessor applies an effective rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $554,000 purchase, plan around $3,300–$4,200 per year. Long-held homes often carry below-market assessed values that reset to current market on sale — verify the post-sale figure with the Assessor before budgeting.
What is daily life like in Sun City Anthem South?
Morning walks on the community trail system or a pickleball match at the Anthem Center, errands at Anthem Marketplace in ten minutes, and afternoons with 100+ club activities or golf at the Revere Club nearby. According to the City of Henderson, Henderson's parks and recreation system supports the trail connections into the broader Henderson network, and Henderson Hospital's proximity means healthcare is close. Evenings run quiet — this is a residential community, not a resort hotel.
Is Sun City Anthem South safe?
Yes. Sun City Anthem South is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson regularly ranks among the safest large U.S. cities in FBI Uniform Crime Reporting-based comparisons. The foothills setting, predominantly owner-occupied single-story homes, and an engaged 55+ ownership demographic keep typical incidents to suburban property matters. The community's stable, long-tenured ownership base is itself a safety asset.
What is the rental market like in Sun City Anthem South?
Rental demand in the 55+ segment is steady but governed by occupancy restrictions — at least one resident must be 55+, so rentals serve age-qualified tenants only. Single-family homes in this ZIP area typically rent for $2,200–$2,800 monthly per Las Vegas REALTORS tracking. Short-term rentals are tightly regulated by the City of Henderson and the HOA CC&Rs — verify rules before underwriting any nightly income scenario.
What should I know before buying in Sun City Anthem South?
Four things move real money here. First, verify your household qualifies under the 55+ age rule before scheduling showings. Second, read the HOA resale package for dues, reserves, and any pending special assessments. Third, homes date to 2001-era Del Webb construction — roof, HVAC, and water heaters deserve inspection attention. Fourth, confirm the exact ZIP code and school-zone impact for future resale buyers who may not qualify under the 55+ rule.
What down payment do you need to buy in Sun City Anthem South?
Most buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% down; FHA allows 3.5% across the $350K–$600K price range. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and this community's demographics include many military retirees. On the $554,014 ZIP-area median, that's roughly $27,700 (5%) to $110,800 (20%). Jumbo financing enters only at the top golf-view and ridge lots above $600,000.

There's also a common-area maintenance and landscaping component. Always pull the resale package — dues, reserves, and transfer fees — during escrow.

Budget the age-verification review into your timeline as well; confirming 55+ compliance adds one extra step to escrow but is straightforward with the right paperwork.

Yes — it is the southern expansion phase of Sun City Anthem, opened in 2001 by Del Webb. Residents of Sun City Anthem South have full access to all three Sun City Anthem recreation centers: Anthem Center, Liberty Center, and Independence Center, totaling 100,000+ square feet of amenity space.
What ZIP codes cover Sun City Anthem South?

Can someone under 55 live in Sun City Anthem South?
Only with restrictions. At least one permanent resident per household must be 55+, and the 80/20 rule requires that 80% of occupied units include a 55+ resident. Visitors and temporary guests of any age are welcome; the restriction applies to permanent residency only. The HOA verifies compliance at time of purchase.
How far is Sun City Anthem South from Henderson Hospital?
About 15 minutes via St. Rose Parkway — and that proximity is one of the most-cited quality-of-life factors among residents. For scheduled procedures and specialist visits, Sunrise Hospital is about 30 minutes via I-215, and Valley Hospital is a similar drive on the western side of the Las Vegas Valley.
Is Sun City Anthem South gated?
No — Sun City Anthem South is not guard-gated, though the broader community has a defined perimeter with controlled access points at the main entrances.

What is the Revere Golf Club at Anthem?
The Revere Golf Club at Anthem is a championship public course adjacent to the Anthem community, with carved-desert design and dramatic McCullough Range views. Sun City Anthem South residents receive preferred tee-time access and resident pricing. It is one of two championship courses available to community residents.
How old are homes in Sun City Anthem South?
The southern expansion section was built primarily between 2001 and the mid-2000s by Del Webb — solid 20+ year-old construction with the predictable system profile of that era. Budget inspections for roof, HVAC, and water heater accordingly. Del Webb's build quality is well-regarded, and the single-story floor plans age gracefully for accessibility.
Is Sun City Anthem South walkable?
Within the community, yes — the trail system connects sections internally and to the recreation centers, and morning-walk circuits are a daily resident ritual. For daily errands, Anthem Marketplace is a 10-minute drive. The community is fundamentally car-dependent for anything outside its footprint, which aligns with how most residents choose to live here.
