PRICE DISTRIBUTION
Median list price across the Lake Las Vegas ZIP area (89011) sits at $533,500 per Las Vegas REALTORS September 2026 MLS data, but the broader 89011 ZIP includes East Henderson entry-level inventory that pulls the median below the resort community's $500K plan minimum. The bands below show the modeled distribution of the area's 686 active listings.

STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Custom alerts by neighborhood, water view, golf frontage, price, and beds — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. Lakefront estates and well-priced resort villas routinely draw multiple offers from out-of-state buyers; alert subscribers see them within hours of hitting the MLS, not after a weekend open house has already generated competing interest.
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.

Lake Las Vegas delivers the Las Vegas Valley's most distinctive resort lifestyle: a 320-acre private lake, guard-gated security, two championship golf courses, the Westin resort hotel, and Mediterranean-inspired waterfront dining — all inside Henderson with full City of Henderson city services. Nevada's zero state income tax keeps ownership costs honest against the backdrop of genuine waterfront luxury.
Lake Las Vegas is known as the Las Vegas Valley's only private-lake resort community — a 320-acre man-made lake surrounded by guard-gated neighborhoods, two championship golf courses, the Westin hotel, and waterfront dining in a Mediterranean-themed Village setting.
It fits luxury lifestyle buyers who value a resort setting over urban proximity, active retirees drawn to lake recreation and golf, remote-working professionals who can trade commute time for a private lake, and second-home buyers seeking a vacation-quality primary residence.
Mornings open with a lakeside walk or paddleboard launch, afternoons run eighteen holes at Reflection Bay, and evenings end at waterfront restaurants in the Village — with downtown Henderson and the Strip accessible when city energy calls.
Lake Las Vegas anchors the eastern Henderson foothills between the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Henderson urban core, roughly 17 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. The 3,200-acre resort development wraps a 320-acre man-made lake. About 25 miles from downtown Las Vegas.
Quick Answer
Yes — for buyers who define quality of life around a resort setting rather than urban proximity. Lake Las Vegas delivers the Las Vegas Valley's only private-lake lifestyle: morning paddleboard, afternoon golf at Reflection Bay, waterfront dining at the Village, and the Westin next door — inside a guard-gated Henderson community with Nevada's zero state income tax and a roughly 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate. The honest trade-offs: HOA dues of $200–$800 monthly are Henderson's highest tier, the commute to the Strip runs 25–28 minutes, and the luxury buyer pool means longer days on market than suburban Henderson. For buyers who want this lifestyle, nothing else in the valley competes.
Source: City of Henderson
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Lake Las Vegas — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put roughly 7,000–8,000 residents inside the Lake Las Vegas plan itself, across approximately 3,000 households.
The Census does not break Lake Las Vegas out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the resort community, our closing data reflects a blend of high-income California and Pacific Coast relocators, remote-working technology and finance professionals, active retirees drawn to the lake and golf lifestyle, and second-home buyers.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Lake Las Vegas itself is largely built out — the plan has been essentially completed since the mid-2000s — while 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 the resort community's finite resale stock. New demand for the lake lifestyle comes from out-of-state relocators and remote-work households, not in-city growth.
Inside the resort community, growth means turnover rather than expansion: 264 ZIP-area closings in the past 100 days show how actively the established lakefront stock trades. That is the investment logic of a built-out resort plan — no new lakefront supply can dilute it, while every high-income relocator to the Las Vegas metro adds a potential buyer for the lifestyle Lake Las Vegas already owns.

RESORT MARKET
Market Competitiveness
Lake Las Vegas is a measured, specialized market — the ZIP area averaged 38 median days on 264 closings over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS. The guard-gated resort buyer pool is narrower than suburban Henderson; correctly priced lakefront homes draw motivated buyers quickly, while overpriced estates wait for the right fit.
Lake Las Vegas is not for every buyer — it's a specialized resort lifestyle community with Henderson's highest HOA dues, a longer Strip commute, and a niche luxury buyer pool. Six buyer profiles below match lifestyles to the community, followed by the honest pros and trade-offs our team walks every client through before a first lakefront tour.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Most weekends bring open houses across the resort community — from Montelago Villa condos at the $500K entry to lakefront custom estates above $1.5M. Guard-gated access means your agent coordinates entry in advance; call (702) 637-1759 and we'll arrange tours and build your weekend route across the lakefront and golf-view tiers.
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.

Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties.

Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.
ECONOMY & JOBS
Lake Las Vegas runs on hospitality, resort management, and the broader Las Vegas metro economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the metro labor market is historically strong, and Henderson's $88,654 median income runs 20% above the county median. The Westin Resort, Reflection Bay Golf Club, and the Village corridor anchor on-site employment.

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
US-93 and I-515 connect Lake Las Vegas to the Las Vegas metro — the airport is about 20 minutes and the Strip 25–28. Mean Henderson commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data; the eastern foothills location adds 5–8 minutes. Remote workers absorb that easily; daily Strip commuters weigh it carefully.

Quick Answer
Most Lake Las Vegas purchases close in 35–50 days — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash deals can close in 10–14 days. Jumbo-financed buyers should add a week for appraisal scheduling, and each sub-association involved requires HOA resale-package delivery, adding a few business days. Build resort-document complexity into your contingency timeline.
Quick Answer
Most Lake Las Vegas buyers put down 10–25%. Conventional financing works across much of the $500K–$800K range with 10–20% down; above the 2026 conforming limit of $806,500, jumbo financing applies — plan on 15–25% down and stronger reserve requirements. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans on any conforming-limit purchase. On a $1.5M lakefront estate, plan $225,000–$375,000 at closing plus reserves and closing costs. Attached Montelago villas starting near $500K may qualify for FHA if the sub-association passes FHA eligibility review — verify with your lender.
The Lake at Las Vegas FAQ — 18 Answers
Across the Lake Las Vegas ZIP area (89011) the median list price is $533,500 per Las Vegas REALTORS, with a $497,500 closed median over the past hundred days. Inside the guard-gated plan, pricing runs $500K for attached villas and townhomes up to $2M+ for custom lakefront estates and resort-view custom homes. Entry-level access exists; the ceiling is genuinely high. Verify current active inventory before budgeting.
Yes — for buyers who want a true resort lifestyle without leaving Henderson. The 320-acre private lake, Westin hotel, waterfront dining, and two championship golf courses are literally next door. The trade-offs are real: HOA dues run $200–$800 monthly, the community sits 25 minutes from the Strip, and Henderson city services rather than a resort staff handle day-to-day maintenance. Families with school-age children should verify CCSD zoning before committing.
Yes. Lake Las Vegas is a fully guard-gated resort community with controlled access points and 24-hour security. That means every visit from contractors, delivery drivers, and guests requires gate clearance — a practical consideration for buyers used to open-access neighborhoods. Most owners find the security layer and resulting street quiet worth the extra coordination, particularly for the lakefront and golf-view homes that attract high-value personal-property concerns.
HOA dues at Lake Las Vegas run $200–$800 monthly depending on the specific neighborhood and property type. Townhomes and attached villas sit toward the lower end of that range; large lakefront custom homes with resort-tier amenity access and private dock rights sit at the top. Dues typically cover guard-gated security, common-area maintenance, the lake district amenities, and in some sub-associations exterior building insurance. Pull the resale package during escrow — dues, reserves, and any pending assessments.
Homes in the Lake Las Vegas ZIP area (89011) took a median of 37 days from list to accepted offer over the past hundred days, per Las Vegas REALTORS data — moderately longer than Henderson's citywide pace. The slower pace reflects a niche buyer pool for a resort-lifestyle, guard-gated, waterfront community: the right buyer exists, but there are fewer of them. Correct pricing is the critical variable; overpriced lakefront homes sit for months, while accurately priced ones trade quickly.
Property taxes are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of a home's value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $500,000 purchase, plan around $3,000 per year; on a $1.5M lakefront estate, roughly $9,000. Long-held Lake Las Vegas homes often carry abated tax bills — verify the post-sale reset with the Assessor before budgeting. Nevada's zero state income tax compounds the advantage for high-income relocators.
The 320-acre private lake is the headline: kayaking, paddleboarding, and electric boat rentals from the Village marina, with the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort anchoring the waterfront. Two championship golf courses — Reflection Bay (re-opened) and a second resort course — serve residents and hotel guests. The Village at Lake Las Vegas is a Mediterranean-inspired retail and dining corridor with restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Walking trails ring the lake, and Henderson city parks extend the recreation network east.
Lake Las Vegas was developed by Lake Las Vegas Resort and Raintree Investment Corp beginning in 2000 with an ambitious master plan. Active builders across the community's phases included Toll Brothers for luxury custom and semi-custom homes, and other production and custom builders at various price points. Today the market is almost entirely resale — the plan is largely built out, with occasional custom lots and estate rebuilds trading. Verify builder origin and warranty status on any resale before closing.
About 17 miles — plan roughly 25–30 minutes via I-515 and US-93 to the Strip, depending on traffic. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 20 minutes via the same corridor. Lake Las Vegas sits in the eastern Henderson foothills near Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which makes it farther from the urban core than most Henderson master plans. Buyers who commute Strip-adjacent daily should factor that drive into the lifestyle math.
Lake Las Vegas falls within the Clark County School District. Zoned campuses typically include Elise L. Wolff Elementary (9/10 GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School, and Liberty High School — though zone assignments shift and should be verified by address before any offer. Doral Academy, Coral Academy of Science, and other Henderson-area charters add options within a reasonable drive. The Henderson International School private tier is accessible from the community.
It depends on the buyer's hold horizon and price discipline. The guard-gated resort setting, 320-acre private lake, and golf-course frontage create genuine scarcity that supports values — there is no other community like it in the Las Vegas metro. The trade-offs: high HOA dues compress net yield for rental investors, the buyer pool for a $1M+ lakefront home is narrower than for a $500K Henderson suburb, and DOM runs longer than the Henderson average. For a primary residence with a 7+ year horizon, the lifestyle assets have historically outperformed expectations.
The long-term rental market at Lake Las Vegas is thinner than in Henderson's suburban master plans — the combination of high HOA dues and resort pricing means entry-level rental investors face compression on yields. Single-family homes with lake or golf views rent for approximately $3,500–$6,000+ monthly and attached villas from $2,500–$3,500, per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking. Short-term nightly rentals are regulated by Henderson city ordinance — verify the current rules before underwriting any vacation-rental income strategy.
The ZIP-area median list price near $533,500 is in line with Henderson's citywide $548K figure, but plan-level pricing starts at $500K and runs to $2M+. HOA dues of $200–$800 monthly are the largest carrying-cost differential versus other Henderson communities. Nevada's zero state income tax and roughly 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate per the Clark County Assessor keep other ownership costs low, and the resort amenities replace club memberships that would cost thousands elsewhere. Day-to-day retail runs to Henderson shopping centers 15–20 minutes west.
Yes. The guard-gated perimeter, 24-hour security staffing, and controlled access points add an explicit layer beyond Henderson's already-strong public-safety baseline. Henderson Police Department provides primary law-enforcement coverage, and Henderson regularly ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. Inside the resort community, the residential streets are quiet, owner-occupied, and monitored — the practical security picture is among the best in the valley.
Four things move real money here. First, HOA due diligence: $200–$800 monthly dues vary by sub-association, and any pending special assessment for lake infrastructure or common-area renovations can materially affect carrying costs. Second, resale liquidity: the luxury resort buyer pool is smaller, so DOM is longer — price correctly or wait. Third, tax reset: long-held homes re-set to current assessed value after sale. Fourth, commute reality: the eastern Henderson location adds 10 minutes versus central Henderson for Strip-adjacent commuters. Match lifestyle to budget before you offer.
Most Lake Las Vegas buyers put down 10–25%. Conventional financing works across much of the $500K–$1M range with 10–20% down; VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans across any conforming-limit purchase. Above $806,500 (the 2026 conforming limit), jumbo financing applies — plan on 15–25% down and stronger reserve requirements. On a $1M lakefront estate, that means $150,000–$250,000 at closing plus reserves. Attached villas starting near $500K are accessible with FHA if association eligibility is confirmed.
Most Lake Las Vegas purchases close in 35–50 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 10–14 days. Financed buyers on jumbo loans should add a week for appraisal scheduling and underwriting; the guard-gated community requires HOA resale-package delivery for every sub-association involved, which adds a few business days. Factor resort-document complexity into your contingency timeline.
The 320-acre Lake Las Vegas is a private recreational lake — kayaking, paddleboarding, electric boat rentals, and fishing are the primary water activities. Open swimming in the main lake body is generally not permitted as a free-swim area; residents access the water through organized recreational activities and the Village marina. Specific rules are set by the Lake Las Vegas HOA and resort management — confirm current water-use policies with the association before purchase if lake swimming is a priority.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
These are the eight questions Lake Las Vegas buyers most often type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specific, verifiable facts: community records and city services from the City of Henderson, current prices from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and school ratings from GreatSchools. Every figure is sourced and checkable.
Henderson. Lake Las Vegas is a master-planned resort community inside the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89011. The "Lake Las Vegas" brand refers to the resort development — not a separate municipality.
ZIP 89011. That ZIP covers the full Lake Las Vegas resort community and the broader East Henderson corridor, so area statistics reflect a wider geography than the resort gates alone. Plan-level pricing inside the community starts at $500K.
The 320-acre lake is private — it's a resort amenity for Lake Las Vegas residents and Westin hotel guests. Access is through the guard-gated community. The Village at Lake Las Vegas waterfront is semi-public through its restaurants and shops, but the lake surface itself is not a public recreation area.
The original developer, Transcontinental Properties, filed for bankruptcy in 2008 during the housing crisis. Raintree Investment Corp acquired the resort in 2012 and has since revitalized the community — re-opening Reflection Bay Golf Club, expanding the Village at Lake Las Vegas retail, and attracting the Westin hotel flag. Today the community is active and the market healthy, with 264 ZIP-area closings in the past 100 days.
Yes — the 320-acre lake supports kayaking, paddleboarding, and electric boat rentals through the Village marina. Private motorized watercraft are generally restricted on the lake body for safety and environmental reasons. Residents with lakefront properties may have dock access per their specific HOA agreement. For full-size motorboat access, Lake Mead is eight minutes east.
Within the resort, yes — the Village waterfront, lakeside trails, and golf cart paths create genuinely walkable daily routes for residents near the village core. Beyond the gates, Henderson's eastern foothills are car-dependent. Lake Las Vegas's walkability is resort-internal, not urban-transit walkability.
About 18 minutes via US-93 and I-515 to Water Street in downtown Henderson, and roughly 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport. The eastern foothills location adds 5–8 minutes versus central Henderson master plans for most Strip-corridor commutes.
For the right buyer profile: yes. The guard-gated resort with a 320-acre private lake represents genuine, irreplaceable scarcity in the Las Vegas metro — no new lake can be built. Values weathered the 2008 developer bankruptcy and have recovered strongly since Raintree's 2012 acquisition. Long-run appreciation is supported by finite waterfront supply and growing relocator demand. Rental yield compression from high HOA dues makes it better as a primary residence or appreciation hold than a cash-flow investment.
