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.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Calico Canyon delivers Pardee hillside living in Henderson — 50 acres, 300+ homes built in 2005, valley views, 8/10-rated zoned schools, and I-215 access. City of Henderson services cover every street, and Nevada's zero state income tax keeps carrying costs below any comparable California hillside address.
Calico Canyon is known for its Pardee Homes hillside setting — 300+ single-family homes on 50 acres in Henderson's 89012 corridor, with valley-view lots that are rare at the $400K–$700K price point. The 2005 vintage offers updated construction without the luxury-tier carry of neighboring MacDonald Highlands.
It fits move-up families who want hillside character and 8/10-rated zoned schools, California relocators who want view-lot value without coastal pricing, and investors who value a finite-supply community in a safety-ranked Henderson corridor. Non-gated entry keeps the cost basis below neighboring guard-gated hillside plans.
Mornings start on hillside streets with valley sightlines, errands run to the Galleria at Sunset and Eastern Avenue corridor, and the I-215 puts the airport twenty minutes from the driveway. Healthcare anchors at St. Rose Dominican Hospital; weekend recreation ranges from Acacia Park nearby to Lake Mead about 25 minutes east.
Calico Canyon sits in Henderson's 89012 hillside corridor, adjacent to MacDonald Highlands and Calico Ridge. About 50 acres on the elevated terrain south of Horizon Ridge Parkway. Roughly 20 miles from the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — by Henderson hillside standards, it is a strong value play. Calico Canyon pairs Pardee Homes construction, 2005-vintage quality, and valley-view lots with 8/10-rated zoned schools, the Henderson Police Department's coverage, and I-215 access that puts the airport twenty minutes from the driveway. The non-gated entry keeps the cost basis below neighboring MacDonald Highlands and Seven Hills. The honest trade-offs: the 89012 ZIP-area statistics are skewed upward by luxury neighbors, so use plan-specific comps; and buyers wanting a gatehouse need to look elsewhere in the corridor.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Calico Canyon — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put approximately 900 residents inside Calico Canyon across roughly 300+ households.
The Census does not break Calico Canyon out as its own place — figures below are Henderson citywide, presented as the statistical backdrop. Inside the community, the 2005-vintage Pardee stock and $400K–$700K range attract move-up families clustering around the 8/10-rated school zones, California relocators who value hillside character at a fraction of coastal prices, and a smaller contingent of downsizers who want single-story floor plans with valley views.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Calico Canyon itself is built out — the 300+ homes on 50 acres were completed by Pardee starting in 2005, and no new supply is being added. Meanwhile, its parent city compounds steadily: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on Calico Canyon's finite hillside inventory.
Inside Calico Canyon, growth means resale turnover on a fixed footprint — no new supply can dilute it. Every new Henderson resident adds demand to the hillside view-lot inventory Pardee Homes built, and a built-out 300-home community with 89012 corridor access is a structural scarcity play for long-term holders.

Market Competitiveness
Calico Canyon is a brisk, limited-inventory market — sold homes across the 89012 ZIP area averaged 26 median days over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS data. The 300-home community means competitive conditions arise quickly when a well-priced view-lot home hits the MLS; interior-lot homes that need cosmetic work give buyers more negotiating room.
Calico Canyon is not a one-size community — it is a focused 300-home hillside plan that rewards specific buyer types. View-lot demand outpaces interior-street inventory, school zones drive family clustering, and the non-gated entry keeps costs below neighboring luxury plans. Six buyer profiles and the honest pros and trade-offs follow.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Possibly — with 300+ homes in the community and 326 active listings across the 89012 corridor, weekends typically bring open houses ranging from Calico Canyon Pardee originals to neighboring Calico Ridge and MacDonald Highlands. Well-priced view-lot homes move quickly; if a specific property interests you, call (702) 637-1759 and we'll arrange a private showing before the open-house crowd.
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.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

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
Calico Canyon's hillside streets feed into Henderson's road grid and quickly reach the I-215 beltway, giving residents access to the valley's major employment corridors. Mean Henderson commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — shorter than the coastal-metro averages most California relocators leave behind.

Quick Answer
Most Calico Canyon purchases close in 30–45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies — the timeline is predictable once conditions are met. Cash buyers can close in 7–14 days. Allow extra time for hillside appraisal scheduling and HOA resale-package delivery, which can add several days to financed transactions.
Quick Answer
Most Calico Canyon buyers put down 5%–20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% across the $400K–$600K portion of the community's range, and VA allows 0% for eligible veterans. At the $565,000 ZIP-area sold median, plan roughly $28,250 (5%) to $113,000 (20%). Homes above $700K approach jumbo territory — confirm the conforming-loan limit for 2026 with your lender before locking a pre-approval.
Calico Canyon FAQ — 18 Answers
Calico Canyon homes run $400K–$700K per community records. The 89012 ZIP area — shared with MacDonald Highlands and Calico Ridge — shows a list median of $797,000, but the $565,000 sold median over the past 100 days per Las Vegas REALTORS is closer to Calico Canyon's actual midpoint. Elevation and valley-view position drive premiums within the plan.
The hillside setting is the headline: Pardee Homes positioned lots to capture valley views that flat-land Henderson neighborhoods simply cannot offer at this price point. The 50-acre footprint keeps the community intimate — 300+ homes means short internal drives and a genuine neighborhood feel. HOA dues in the $70–$180 range are moderate for a landscaped hillside plan, and the 2005 vintage means buyers avoid the deferred-maintenance cycle common in pre-1995 Henderson stock.
No — Calico Canyon is not guard-gated. The community maintains its standards through HOA oversight: common-area landscaping, architectural review, and dues-funded upkeep rather than a staffed gatehouse. Buyers who prioritize guarded entry in this part of Henderson typically look at MacDonald Highlands or Seven Hills. For buyers who value hillside character and Pardee construction over a gate, Calico Canyon delivers the better value per square foot.
Calico Canyon HOA dues typically run $70–$180 per month, covering common-area landscape maintenance, community standard enforcement, and hillside upkeep across the 50-acre plan. That is a moderate carry relative to the community's price range and the cost of maintaining a hillside setting. Reserve fund health varies — always request the full resale disclosure package and review the budget, reserve study, and any pending assessments during your due-diligence window.
Calico Canyon falls under the Clark County School District. Zoned public schools include Vanderburg Elementary (K-5, 8/10 on GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (6-8, 8/10), and Coronado High School (9-12, 7/10). Charter options include Pinecrest Academy of Nevada (9/10) and Doral Academy of Nevada (8/10). Private choices include Henderson International School and Bishop Gorman High School. Assignments depend on the exact address — verify zoning before you write an offer.
Across the 89012 ZIP area, sold homes averaged a median of about 37 days from list to accepted offer over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS data, on roughly 326 active listings. Inside Calico Canyon, view lots and well-priced Pardee originals move faster than dated interiors needing cosmetic work. The DOM figure is a ZIP-area indicator — a community specialist can pull the plan-specific pace on request.
Property taxes are among Nevada's draws. The Clark County Assessor applies an effective rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $550,000 Calico Canyon home, budget approximately $3,200–$3,800 per year. Long-held homes often carry below-market assessed values — they reset to current value after sale, so verify the post-sale tax bill with the Assessor before budgeting your monthly carry.
Yes — the combination of 2005-vintage Pardee construction, 8/10-rated zoned schools, and Henderson's city-wide safety ranking makes Calico Canyon a strong family address. The hillside setting keeps cut-through traffic low, and the City of Henderson's parks system puts Acacia Park and Paseo Verde Park within a short drive. Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large U.S. cities per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, which anchors resale demand for family buyers.
Both communities occupy Henderson's hillside terrain in 89012, but they target very different buyers. MacDonald Highlands is a guard-gated country-club community with homes from roughly $1.5M to $15M+; Calico Canyon is a non-gated Pardee-built neighborhood at $400K–$700K. Calico Canyon buyers get hillside character and valley-view lots without the club membership costs and luxury-tier entry price. It is Henderson's best answer for the buyer who wants elevation without the country-club carry.
Calico Canyon is essentially built out — the 300+ homes on 50 acres were developed by Pardee starting in 2005, and occasional resale inventory is what trades today. Buyers who want new construction in the broader hillside Henderson corridor typically look at MacDonald Highlands' newer phases (Cresta Rosa, Dragon Rock) or Calico Ridge, all in the same 89012 ZIP. Calico Canyon's finite supply is a long-term positive for resale values.
Calico Canyon sits in the 89012 corridor with access to the I-215 beltway, putting Harry Reid International Airport about 20 minutes west and the Las Vegas Strip roughly 25 minutes away via I-215 to I-15. Downtown Henderson is about 15 minutes by local roads, and Summerlin is reachable in approximately 30 minutes via the beltway. Hillside streets add a couple of minutes to reach major arterials — run the route at your actual commute hour before committing.
The Galleria at Sunset is about 15 minutes north — a full regional mall with dining, retail, and services. Acacia Park and Paseo Verde Park cover outdoor recreation needs within a short drive. Seven Hills' Rio Secco Golf Club and DragonRidge Country Club at MacDonald Highlands are both nearby for golf. St. Rose Dominican Hospital anchors healthcare in the Henderson corridor. For everyday errands — groceries, gas, dining — Sunset Road and Eastern Avenue corridors are the primary strips.
The fundamentals are sound. Pardee construction, a 2005 vintage that avoids major deferred-maintenance cycles, a finite 300-home footprint with no new supply, and hillside view lots that cannot be replicated make Calico Canyon a durable hold. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 improve net returns. View lots historically outperform interior ones — identify which tier you're buying before negotiating price.
Four things matter most here. First, the ZIP-area median list of $797,000 reflects MacDonald Highlands and Calico Ridge — Calico Canyon's own range is $400K–$700K; use plan-specific comps. Second, view lots carry meaningful premiums over interior streets — your agent's read on which lots have unobstructed sightlines determines the offer. Third, pull the HOA resale package and reserve study; hillside landscaping can produce above-average reserve draws. Fourth, verify school zoning at the address level, not ZIP level.
Single-family rentals in the 89012 Henderson corridor typically run $2,400–$3,200 per month for the size range common to Calico Canyon, with hillside and view-lot premiums pushing rents toward the top of the band per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking. Henderson's safety ranking and school zones keep vacancy low and tenant quality high. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Henderson — review the rules before underwriting nightly income on any Calico Canyon purchase.
Most Calico Canyon buyers put down 5%–20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% across the $400K–$600K portion of the community's range, and VA allows 0% for eligible veterans. At the $565,000 ZIP-area sold median, plan roughly $28,250 (5%) to $113,000 (20%). Homes above $700K approach jumbo territory — confirm the conforming-loan limit for 2026 with your lender before locking a pre-approval.
Most Calico Canyon purchases close in 30–45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys — timing is predictable once conditions are satisfied. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should allow time for appraisal scheduling (hillside properties sometimes draw out-of-area appraisers), and the HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days wherever an active association is involved.
Pardee Homes built Calico Canyon starting in 2005 with single-family floor plans oriented toward valley views on the hillside lots. Expect stucco exteriors, tile roofs, open great-room layouts, and garages sized for two to three cars — typical of quality Henderson production from the mid-2000s. The 2005 vintage means buyers avoid the 1980s deferred-maintenance cycle while still getting the established neighborhood feel a hillside setting creates.

These are the eight queries Calico Canyon buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: community facts from City of Henderson, prices from Las Vegas REALTORS, and school ratings from GreatSchools.
Henderson. Calico Canyon is a community inside the City of Henderson with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89012 — "Calico Canyon" is the community's name, not a separate municipality.
ZIP 89012, which Calico Canyon shares with MacDonald Highlands, Calico Ridge, and Seven Hills. That shared ZIP is why area statistics show an elevated list median — the luxury tiers of neighboring communities pull it up. Always use plan-specific comps for Calico Canyon pricing.
No — Calico Canyon is not guard-gated. Community standards are maintained through HOA oversight and dues, not a staffed gatehouse. Buyers who need guarded entry should look at MacDonald Highlands or the gated sections of Seven Hills, both nearby in the 89012 corridor.
Calico Canyon was established in 2005 by Pardee Homes — all 300+ homes date from roughly 2005 forward, giving buyers a consistent 2000s-vintage construction profile. Expect modern layouts, updated systems, and tile roofs without the deferred-maintenance cycle of pre-1995 Henderson stock.
Yes — the hillside setting on 50 acres in Henderson's 89012 corridor delivers valley sightlines from many lots. View position varies by lot elevation and orientation; some interior-street homes have limited views. Ask your agent to identify which active listings hold unobstructed sightlines before touring.
By Las Vegas standards, modestly — hillside streets in the community are suitable for walking loops with valley views, but the plan is fundamentally auto-dependent for daily errands. The nearest parks and retail are 5–15 minutes by car. The walking experience inside the community is the amenity; external walkability is limited.
Calico Canyon borders MacDonald Highlands within the same 89012 ZIP code — they are adjacent communities sharing Henderson's hillside terrain. DragonRidge Country Club at MacDonald Highlands is about five minutes from Calico Canyon's edge. The price difference is dramatic: Calico Canyon at $400K–$700K versus MacDonald Highlands from $1.5M+.
The fundamentals are sound: Pardee construction, a 2005 vintage, a finite 300-home built-out footprint, and a hillside setting with valley views in a safety-ranked city. Nevada's zero income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 improve net returns. View lots historically outperform interior positions — identify which tier you're buying before negotiating the price.
