KEY TAKEAWAYS
Anthem is Henderson’s largest master plan — 14,000+ homes across 4,775 foothills acres per the City of Henderson — with a $688,950 median list across the two Anthem ZIP codes (89052/89044) and 28-day market pace per Las Vegas REALTORS. The takeaways below unpack the multi-community market.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: LVR, U.S. Census, City of Henderson
The Anthem ZIP area — 89052 and 89044 — carried 655 active listings in September 2026 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, with a median list price of $688,950 across both ZIP codes. The eight newest listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active home is searchable in our live MLS portal.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
The median list price across the Anthem ZIP codes (89052/89044) sits at $688,950 per Las Vegas REALTORS September 2026 MLS data, but inventory spans $400K family resales to $8M+ Country Club estates. The bands below show actual active counts so you can gauge competition honestly.
The Anthem area’s 655 active ZIP-area listings break down into six signature sub-communities, three property types, three price bands, and the filters below — each link opens our live Henderson MLS search, with counts updated daily from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data.
Dedicated sub-community pages are rolling out — until then, each card links to the most relevant hub or live search so you can see current inventory, price positioning, and lifestyle fit for that slice of the foothills. Listing counts are from our June 2026 GLVAR subdivision analysis.

Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

CRIME DATA
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.

Anthem delivers elevated foothills living on Henderson’s southeastern edge: 14,000+ homes from $400K family neighborhoods to $8M+ Anthem Country Club estates, three golf courses, and Strip views from 2,500–3,400 feet. City of Henderson services cover the community, and Nevada’s zero state income tax sweetens every relocation budget.
Anthem is known for being Henderson’s largest master plan — 4,775 acres in the McCullough Range foothills — with guard-gated Anthem Country Club golf estates, the nationally prominent Sun City Anthem 55+ community, and panoramic Strip views.
It fits active 55+ buyers choosing Sun City Anthem or Solera, golf and club families targeting Anthem Country Club, school-driven households in Highlands and Coventry, and view buyers who want elevation without custom-build pricing.
Mornings start on the Madeira Canyon trails or a golf course, errands run down Eastern Avenue to the Galleria corridor, and evenings end at Anthem Hills Park or a rec-center club with the Strip lighting up below.
Anthem occupies Henderson’s southeastern quadrant, climbing the McCullough Range foothills south of the I-215 Beltway between Eastern Avenue and Sloan Canyon. About 4,775 acres at 2,500–3,400 feet of elevation.
Quick Answer
Yes — if you want elevation, space, and choice. Anthem pairs Henderson’s top-tier safety and schools with 4,775 foothills acres, three golf courses, two 55+ communities, and family neighborhoods, all about 20 minutes from the Strip via I-215. It rewards retirees, golf households, and view-driven families most; buyers wanting walkable urban energy or brand-new construction should compare Inspirada next door. Nevada’s zero state income tax adds five-figure annual savings for most relocating California households.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Anthem — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Within the plan itself, the community record counts roughly 38,000 residents across about 14,000 homes, skewing older and more affluent than the citywide profile.
The Census does not break Anthem out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the plan, the mix is distinctive: Sun City Anthem alone holds 7,200+ of the homes, Solera adds a second 55+ enclave, and Highlands and Coventry fill school-day mornings with families — two generations sharing one master plan.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Anthem itself is built out — growth here means turnover, not construction — while its parent city compounds steadily: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the south-Henderson corridor around Anthem, Inspirada, and the St. Rose Parkway spine keeps pulling that growth uphill.
Inside the plan, supply is finite by design: 14,000+ homes were platted by Del Webb and Pulte beginning in 1998, and the McCullough Range hard-stops expansion to the south. That is the scarcity argument for ownership here — roughly 358 ZIP-area closings per hundred days is turnover within a fixed footprint, not new supply, and view lots backing open desert cannot be replicated.

SIX MARKETS IN ONE
Market Competitiveness
Anthem is a balanced, tiered market — sold homes across the ZIP area moved in a 28-day median over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS data, but pace splits by enclave: Coventry resales went pending in roughly 22 median days while Anthem Country Club estates ran about 35.
Anthem isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s six distinct sub-communities spanning mid-$300Ks Solera resales to $8M+ Country Club estates, with a lifestyle that rewards specific buyer types over others.

Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Anthem runs on Henderson’s southern employment spine: healthcare along St. Rose Parkway, education, city services, and the golf and club operations inside the plan. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the metro labor market remains strong, and Henderson incomes run above the county median — with the Strip’s employment core about 20 minutes out via I-215.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
The I-215 Beltway runs along Anthem’s northern edge, feeding I-15 for the Strip and airport and Eastern Avenue for daily errands. Most households drive — the foothills are intentionally residential — with mean Henderson commutes near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data, shorter than the coastal-metro averages most relocators leave behind.

Quick Answer
Most Anthem purchases close in 30 to 45 days — cash offers, common in the 55+ enclaves, can close in 7–14. Every sale routes through the sub-association’s resale package review, which adds a few days, and Anthem Country Club jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time because estate comps are individually negotiated. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys.
Quick Answer
Most Anthem buyers put down 10% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers, VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and jumbo financing — standard in Anthem Country Club — typically wants 20–25% with reserves. On the $614,900 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $61,490 (10%) to $122,980 (20%); on a $1.2M+ Country Club home, $240,000 or more. Sun City Anthem and Solera buyers often pay cash or bridge from a prior home sale — we can structure either path.
Anthem FAQ — 18 Answers
Across the Anthem ZIP area, the median list price runs about $688,950 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — a figure that blends the plan with neighboring slices of Seven Hills and Inspirada in ZIP codes 89052 and 89044. Inside Anthem, Solera resales start in the mid-$300Ks, family homes run $500K–$900K, and Country Club estates run $1.2M past $8M.
It depends on the life you want. For guard-gated golf estates: Anthem Country Club, built around its Hale Irwin championship course. For 55+ living: Sun City Anthem — 7,200+ homes, three recreation centers, and 100+ clubs — or the smaller, guard-gated Solera at Anthem. For families: Anthem Highlands and Coventry, with parks, pools, and top-rated schools. For trail access and views: gated Madeira Canyon at the foot of the McCullough Range.
Elevation and scale. Anthem is Henderson’s largest master plan — 4,775 acres and 14,000+ homes — climbing the McCullough Range foothills at 2,500 to 3,400 feet, so many streets carry panoramic Strip and Spring Mountains views the valley floor cannot match. It is also a true multi-community plan: guard-gated golf, two 55+ communities, and family neighborhoods coexist inside one address, which mainstream Henderson neighborhoods rarely offer.
Homes sold across the Anthem ZIP area over the past hundred days took a median of about 31 days from list to accepted offer, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics. Pace varies by enclave: our subdivision-level analysis shows Coventry resales moving in roughly 22 median days while Anthem Country Club estates run closer to 35 — luxury inventory always takes longer to find its buyer.
Low by national standards. Nevada’s effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of a home’s value per the Clark County Assessor, and annual increases on a primary residence are capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $688,950 ZIP-area-median purchase, that pencils to roughly $300 a month. Verify the specific parcel’s assessed value and any district assessments in escrow before closing — they vary across Anthem’s sub-associations.
They vary widely by sub-community: roughly $80–$150 per month in family neighborhoods like Highlands and Coventry, $180–$350 in Sun City Anthem — where dues fund three recreation centers totaling more than 100,000 square feet — and $350–$800 in guard-gated Anthem Country Club, where staffed entry and private streets carry real cost. Always request the specific sub-association’s resale package, because amenities, reserves, and assessments differ section to section.
Expect a premium to the valley but a discount to the coast. The ZIP-area median near $688,950 sits above Henderson’s $548K citywide median and well above Las Vegas’ $476K, reflecting the foothills elevation and amenity depth. Day-to-day costs track the rest of Clark County, Nevada levies zero state income tax, and the 3% property-tax cap keeps long-run carrying costs predictable for primary residents.
Among Henderson’s strongest. Anthem-area campuses include Vanderburg Elementary (10/10 on GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle (9/10), Coronado High (9/10), and Liberty High (8/10), with charter and private options — Pinecrest Academy, Somerset Academy, Henderson International School — within a short drive. Zoning varies street to street across a plan this large, so verify the assigned campuses for any specific address before you write an offer.
It is genuinely built for both — that is Anthem’s defining trait. Retirees get Sun City Anthem’s 7,200+ homes, three recreation centers, golf, and 100+ clubs, or the more intimate guard-gated Solera. Families get Highlands and Coventry with parks, pools, top-rated schools, and the Anthem Hills Park splash pad. The two populations share trails, elevation, and Henderson’s safety without sharing HOA budgets — each enclave funds its own lifestyle.
Partially. Anthem Country Club, Solera at Anthem, and Madeira Canyon are gated — the Country Club with 24-hour staffed entry — while the broader master plan relies on controlled access points and active HOA management. Henderson’s consistent top-10 national safety ranking in FBI Uniform Crime Reporting-based comparisons covers the whole community. If a staffed gate is a requirement, focus your search on Country Club, Solera, or Madeira Canyon listings.
Three. Anthem Country Club’s 18-hole Hale Irwin championship design anchors the guard-gated enclave with a full-service clubhouse, resort pool, and tennis. Sun City Anthem residents add two more layouts, including the Revere Golf Club’s public-play courses threading the foothills. Daily-fee players, club members, and social golfers each have a lane here — tell us how you actually play and we will target the right enclave.
Essentially none — Anthem dates to 1998 and is a built-out master plan, so availability skews heavily toward resale across its 14,000+ homes. That is not a drawback: mature landscaping, established HOAs, and proven resale comps are the payoff. Buyers set on a brand-new home shop neighboring Inspirada — five minutes west with multiple national builders — then compare against Anthem resale value per square foot.
The infrastructure is extensive: award-winning Anthem Hills Park (~15 acres with a splash pad and adventure playground), Anthem Community Park (~20 acres with pool and courts), and the Madeira Canyon trailhead opening into roughly 500 acres of desert trail system. Sun City Anthem operates three recreation centers totaling more than 100,000 square feet, three golf courses thread the plan, and neighborhood parks, pools, and paseos are distributed throughout.
Straightforward. The I-215 Beltway runs along Anthem’s doorstep: the Las Vegas Strip is about 20 minutes via I-215 to I-15, Harry Reid International Airport roughly 25, and the Galleria at Sunset retail corridor about 10 minutes down Eastern Avenue. St. Rose Dominican Hospital and the St. Rose Parkway corridor sit minutes away, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area is about 20 minutes east.
Yes. Anthem is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in FBI Uniform Crime Reporting-based comparisons. Within the plan, Anthem Country Club, Solera, and Madeira Canyon add gated entry, and the foothills geography limits through-traffic — most streets dead-end into the McCullough Range. Typical incidents are suburban property matters, not violent crime.
Most Anthem buyers put down 10% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers, VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and jumbo financing — standard in Anthem Country Club — typically wants 20–25% with reserves. On the $688,950 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $61,490 (10%) to $122,980 (20%); on a $1.2M+ Country Club home, $240,000 or more. Sun City Anthem and Solera buyers often pay cash or bridge from a prior home sale — we can structure either path.
Budget by enclave: family neighborhoods like Anthem Highlands and Coventry typically run $80–$150 per month, Sun City Anthem runs $180–$350 — dues fund three recreation centers totaling more than 100,000 square feet plus the 55+ social calendar — and guard-gated Anthem Country Club runs $350–$800 with staffed entry and private streets. Club membership at Anthem Country Club is separate from HOA dues. Always pull the specific sub-association’s resale package, reserves, and assessment history in escrow.
Most Anthem purchases close in 30 to 45 days — cash offers, common in the 55+ enclaves, can close in 7–14. Every sale routes through the sub-association’s resale package review, which adds a few days, and Anthem Country Club jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time because estate comps are individually negotiated. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys.

No — Sun City Anthem is one sub-community within the larger Anthem master plan. The plan also contains guard-gated Anthem Country Club, 55+ Solera, family-oriented Highlands and Coventry, and gated Madeira Canyon, totaling 14,000+ homes across 4,775 acres.
Anthem’s neighborhoods sit at roughly 2,500 to 3,400 feet on the McCullough Range foothills — several hundred feet above the valley floor. That elevation delivers the plan’s signature Strip and Spring Mountains views and noticeably cooler evenings.
Del Webb and Pulte Homes established Anthem in 1998 and built it out over the following decades. Del Webb’s brand anchored Sun City Anthem, while the broader plan added the Country Club, family villages, and Madeira Canyon.
About 20 minutes via I-215 west to I-15 north, with Harry Reid International Airport roughly 25 minutes by the same route. The Galleria at Sunset errands corridor is about 10 minutes down Eastern Avenue.
Three courses. Anthem Country Club’s Hale Irwin championship design anchors the guard-gated enclave, and the Revere Golf Club’s public-play layouts thread the foothills washes — so members and daily-fee players both have a home game.
Two. Sun City Anthem is the flagship — 7,200+ homes, three recreation centers, and 100+ clubs — while guard-gated Solera at Anthem offers a smaller, more intimate alternative. Both enforce age restrictions on buyers and tenants.
Anthem Country Club, where custom and semi-custom estates run from $1.2M past $8M and the active-listing median sits near $2.5M per our September 2026 GLVAR subdivision analysis. Staffed gates, the Hale Irwin course, and view lots drive the premium.
Internally, yes — paseos, parks, and the Madeira Canyon trail system connect neighborhoods. For errands, no: shopping and dining sit down the hill along Eastern Avenue and the St. Rose corridor, so daily life assumes a car.

Every statistic on this page comes from a primary or government dataset, refreshed monthly. One honesty note: Anthem’s market stats are ZIP-area figures for 89052 and 89044 — ZIP codes that also include slices of Seven Hills and Inspirada — so we label them as such and use GLVAR subdivision groupings for enclave-level reads.
Methodology: Listing data is sourced via Repliers IDX feed (Las Vegas MLS) and refreshed every 15 minutes. Demographic and economic data are pulled monthly via Census/BLS APIs. School data is refreshed quarterly. All comparisons are like-for-like (same metric, same time period).
