SAFETY & CRIME
Is Sun City Anthem Safe?
Yes. Sun City Anthem is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. The community's gated access roads, active-adult ownership profile, and Henderson's well-funded public-safety infrastructure produce a security profile well below the national suburban average.
- Safest large U.S. cities, regular Henderson rankingFBI UCR-based national comparisons
- Gated community access on primary roadsCommunity records
- Henderson Police Department coverageCity of Henderson services — not LVMPD
- Violent crime vs national average, citywideFBI Uniform Crime Reporting
What Buyers Should Know
The active-adult ownership profile does quiet work here: Sun City Anthem's households are predominantly retired, owner-occupied, and deeply invested in community upkeep — conditions that correlate strongly with low crime rates in community association research. The Henderson Police Department's coverage benefits from a city that funds public safety well above national per-capita norms.
The plan's gated access roads on primary entrances add a meaningful deterrent layer. Community volunteers and the HOA's own security programs supplement the Henderson PD with visible patrols on interior streets, and the plan's topographic elevation gives many homes natural sight-line advantages over approaching traffic.
For buyers wanting specific incident data, the Henderson Police Department publishes monthly crime statistics by district on the City of Henderson website. The relevant district includes Sun City Anthem's southern Henderson footprint. Standard active-adult precautions — package management, motion lighting — address the realistic risk picture comfortably.

What is Sun City Anthem known for?
Sun City Anthem is Henderson's flagship Del Webb 55-plus community — built from 1998 through the mid-2000s, with a 47,000-square-foot Anthem Center clubhouse, Anthem Golf & Country Club, three pools, and one of the most active chartered-club cultures of any active-adult community in Nevada.
Who should live in Sun City Anthem?
It fits age-55-or-older retirees seeking resort-caliber amenities, California retirees capturing Nevada's tax savings, golf-lifestyle buyers wanting a private course inside the plan, snowbirds wanting a lock-and-leave community with on-site management, and veteran retirees using VA benefits to purchase with zero down.
What is daily life like?
Mornings start at the Anthem Center fitness center or pool, midday brings a round at Anthem Golf, and evenings range from dining at the M Resort ten minutes south to one of the plan's sixty-plus chartered club events — all without leaving Henderson's safest zip codes.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Sun City Anthem Score for Retirement Living?
Sun City Anthem earns top marks for amenities, safety, and retirement tax advantages, with honest trade-offs on the 55-plus age restriction and HOA dues above the Henderson average. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating retiree before a first tour of Henderson's premier Del Webb community.
Grade A: Safety
Henderson Police Department coverage; Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large U.S. cities per FBI UCR-based comparisons. Gated community entry adds a meaningful layer.
Grade A: Amenities
Anthem Center (47,000 sq ft), Liberty Center, three pools, Anthem Golf & Country Club, fitness facilities, tennis, pickleball, theater, 60+ chartered clubs — all in dues.
Grade A-: Cost of Living
$615,000 ZIP-area median with Nevada's zero state income tax and 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate — meaningfully cheaper than California 55-plus peers.
Grade B+: Healthcare Access
St. Rose Dominican Hospital ten minutes north; Sunrise Hospital twenty minutes; multiple specialist and imaging centers along the St. Rose Pkwy corridor.
Grade B+: Outdoor Access
Community trails, Anthem Parkway greenway, Lake Mead thirty minutes east, Red Rock Canyon forty minutes west — desert scenery without daily effort.
Grade A-: Commute & Transport
Airport twenty minutes via I-215; the Strip twenty-five; rideshare fast and affordable. Perfect for retirees who travel frequently between Henderson and family nationwide.

Quick Answer
Is Sun City Anthem a good place to retire?
By most active-retirement benchmarks, yes — Sun City Anthem is one of the strongest Del Webb communities in the Southwest. The plan combines Nevada's zero state income tax, Henderson's top safety ranking, resort-caliber amenities fully included in HOA dues, and a 7,219-home community large enough to sustain genuine social depth. The price range — $350K patio homes to $700K golf-view estates — keeps it accessible to California retirees capturing the West-Coast-to-Nevada equity-arbitrage trade. The honest trade-offs: the $180–$350 monthly HOA dues are higher than general Henderson master plans, golf club membership is separate from HOA, and the 55-plus age restriction is firm.

Who Lives in Sun City Anthem?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Sun City Anthem — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Sun City Anthem itself is a HOPA-certified 55-plus community; its 7,219 homes house predominantly retired and semi-retired households from California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Midwest.
The Census does not break Sun City Anthem out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the plan, our closing data shows a blend of California equity relocators, veteran retirees using VA financing, snowbirds maintaining dual-state residences, and widows and widowers downsizing into patio homes.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Sun City Anthem Area Growing?
Sun City Anthem itself is essentially built out — Del Webb completed the plan's approximately 7,219 homes by 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 Sun City Anthem's finite resale stock.
Henderson citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside the plan, growth means turnover, not expansion: 366 ZIP-area closings in the past 100 days show how actively the established stock trades. That is the investment logic of a built-out master plan — no new Del Webb supply can dilute it, while every new Nevada retiree relocator adds demand for the amenities, safety, and tax savings Sun City Anthem already owns.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Sun City Anthem Score for Active Retirement Living?
Sun City Anthem pairs A-grade resort amenities, Henderson-backed safety, and Nevada's retirement-friendly tax structure with honest trade-offs: higher HOA dues than general Henderson master plans, a private-club golf membership separate from the HOA, and summer desert heat.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem HOA dues run approximately $180–$350 per month in 2026, depending on the specific village and lot within the master plan. Dues cover both recreation centers — the 47,000-square-foot Anthem Center and the Liberty Center — along with three pools, fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, a theater, billiards, and common-area landscaping. Anthem Golf & Country Club membership is a separate cost, not included in HOA dues. Always pull the full resale package — dues, reserves, CC&Rs, and any pending special assessments — before writing an offer in any Sun City Anthem village.
Should You Retire to Sun City Anthem?
Every month, retirees from California, Oregon, and Washington discover that the resort-style active-adult community priced beyond reach on the coast is fully 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 line item alone funds most relocations.
Why California Retirees Are Choosing Sun City Anthem
The tax math is the headline: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A retired couple drawing $150,000 per year saves $10,000–$19,000 annually in state income taxes, which more than covers the annual HOA dues at Sun City Anthem. The 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 provides a predictable carrying-cost floor that inflation cannot erode the way California's Prop 19 transfer reset can.
At a $700,000 budget, a coastal California buyer is looking at a modest condo or a rural foothill lot. That same $700,000 at Sun City Anthem secures a spacious Del Webb single-family home with golf or mountain views, inside a 7,219-home resort community with a 47,000-square-foot clubhouse, three pools, sixty-plus chartered clubs, and Henderson's top-ranked safety just outside the front gate.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across the Sun City Anthem ZIP area (89052/89044) is $615,000. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data places Henderson among the safest large U.S. cities, and the community's Del Webb resort amenities are included in HOA dues — no separate club memberships required.
Sun City Anthem is retirement-economy self-contained: the Anthem Center and Liberty Center anchor daily life, St. Rose Dominican Hospital sits ten minutes north, the M Resort and Henderson's dining corridor are ten minutes south, and Harry Reid International Airport is about twenty minutes via the I-215 — a short flight connection for retirees who travel regularly.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Sun City Anthem vs. California
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest for retirees is housing: a resort-style community with a full clubhouse and golf that starts in the $350Ks here costs $1M+ for a comparable lifestyle in coastal California retirement hubs.
| Metric | Sun City Anthem, NV | Coastal CA (avg.) |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Median List Price | $615,000 (ZIP area) | ~$950K+ (comparable 55+) |
| Resort Amenity Entry Point | $350Ks (with full clubhouse) | $700K–$1M+ typical |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.1% on new purchases |
| Airport Commute | 20 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (LAX/SFO) |
Figures are approximate, for illustration. Contact our team for current market data.
Sun City Anthem Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Long-term rentals in the community must comply with the 55-plus HOPA rules — tenants must be age-qualifying. Single-family homes typically rent for about $2,200–$3,000 monthly depending on model and view. The depth is meaningful: 7,219 homes and a steady pipeline of snowbirds and relocating retirees keep vacancy low. Short-term rentals are prohibited by CC&Rs and Henderson city regulation. Verify current rental rules with the association before any investment underwriting.

Start Your Retirement Home SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to Sun City Anthem in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Sun City Anthem 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.
Confirm age-restriction compliance first
Sun City Anthem is a HOPA-certified 55-plus community. Before you tour a single home, confirm that at least one resident in your household is 55 or older and no permanent resident will be under 18. Exceptions are narrow and association-enforced.
Choose a village and budget a view tier
Decide between patio-home villages (Garden Palms, $350K–$450K), mid-tier villages (Liberty, Cascade Hills, $450K–$600K), and premium view or golf-frontage villages (Anthem Highlands, Country Club Estates, $600K–$700K+).
Get pre-approved — VA or conventional
VA loans are popular with veteran retirees and require zero down payment. Conventional works well in all price ranges, and jumbo financing is needed for homes above the conforming limit. Get fully underwritten — golf-view and mountain-view homes draw competing offers fast.
Hire a Sun City Anthem specialist
Floor-plan values, view premiums, and village sub-association dues vary meaningfully inside the plan. Work with an agent who can pull active-listing comp data at the floor-plan level — not just the ZIP-area median.
Tour virtually or in person by village
Walk a patio-home village, a mid-tier neighborhood, and a golf-view village in one afternoon — the lifestyle and price differences are real. Virtual tours work well for California buyers making an out-of-state purchase decision.
Write and negotiate the offer
Golf-view and mountain-view homes draw clean, fast offers; original finishes without renovation reward inspection-based negotiation. Your agent's read on the specific floor plan and view tier sets the strategy.
HOA resale package, inspection & appraisal
Pull the full Sun City Anthem resale package: dues, reserve fund health, pending special assessments, CC&Rs, and the HOA transfer interview process. Budget roofs, HVAC, and cosmetic updates for homes built in the late 1990s–2000s.
Close, move, and register
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys — expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Henderson water), then handle the DMV: license within 30 days, registration within 60.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a ZIP-area-median Sun City Anthem home for five years nets out cheaper than renting once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $150,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter walks away with none. A built-out 55-plus plan with no new Del Webb supply gives that appreciation assumption structural support.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $265/mo blended HOA, ~7% resale costs.

Most Sun City Anthem purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada uses escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash deals close in 7–14 days. All buyers must budget a few extra days for HOA resale-package delivery, and the association may require a formal transfer interview before funding.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Sun City Anthem?
Most Sun City Anthem buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional loans work across the full price range, VA loans are popular with veteran retirees and require zero down payment, and jumbo financing enters for homes above the conforming limit.

Sun City Anthem FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Sun City Anthem Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Sun City Anthem?
Across the Sun City Anthem ZIP area — 89052 and 89044 — the median list price is about $699,900 per Las Vegas REALTORS, with a $589,000 closed median over the past hundred days. Inside the plan, pricing runs from resale patio homes near $350,000 through premium golf-view single-family homes priced to $700,000, depending on the model, lot, and renovation level.
What are the best floor plans in Sun City Anthem?
Del Webb built Sun City Anthem across more than forty distinct floor plans from 1998 through the mid-2000s. The most sought-after resale models include the Pinnacle (2,700+ sq ft, open-great-room, desert views), the Endeavor (4-bedroom flexibility), the Expedition (single-story, 2,200 sq ft, popular with couples), and the compact Reflection patio homes from the low $350Ks. Views — golf, mountain, or city lights — move prices as much as square footage does.
What are the age restrictions at Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem is a 55+ active-adult community under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). At least one resident in each home must be 55 or older, and no permanent resident may be under 18. Guests typically may stay up to 30–60 days per year under the community's CC&Rs — verify the current rule in the resale package, as guest policies are association-enforced, not just federal law.
What is the HOA fee at Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem HOA dues run approximately $180–$350 per month in 2026, depending on the specific neighborhood and lot within the master plan. Dues cover the Anthem Center's resort amenities — two recreation centers, three pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facilities, and a 47,000-square-foot main clubhouse — plus common-area landscaping and community maintenance. Always pull the full resale package, including reserve study and any pending special assessments, before writing an offer.
What is the average days on market in Sun City Anthem?
Homes sold across the Sun City Anthem ZIP area over the past hundred days took a median of about 24 days from list to accepted offer, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics — and 366 homes closed in that window, so the figure rests on a deep sample. Golf-view and mountain-view homes in the most popular models routinely go under contract within two to three weeks; dated original finishes without a renovation premium sit longer.
What amenities does Sun City Anthem offer?
Sun City Anthem is built around two Del Webb recreation centers: the Anthem Center (the main 47,000-sq-ft clubhouse) and the Liberty Center. Combined, they deliver three pools, a full fitness facility, tennis and pickleball courts, a golf simulation room, billiards, art and ceramics studios, a theater, multiple dining venues, and a calendar of 60+ chartered clubs and groups. The Liberty Center anchors the Liberty Village neighborhood. Both are included in HOA dues — no separate memberships required.
Does Sun City Anthem have a golf course?
Yes — Anthem Golf & Country Club sits inside the plan's footprint. The private club's 18-hole championship course, designed by Keith Foster, is known for elevation changes and valley views unusual in the Las Vegas basin. Club membership is separate from HOA dues and includes dining and social programs; the club operates independently of the Sun City Anthem HOA. Some homes border the fairways and command meaningful view premiums on the resale market.
Is Sun City Anthem a good place to retire?
By most active-retirement benchmarks, yes. The plan pairs Del Webb's resort-caliber amenities, Nevada's zero state income tax, and Henderson's top-ranked safety with a 7,219-home community large enough to sustain 60+ clubs and a full social calendar. The $350K–$700K price range makes it attainable for California retirees cashing out coastal real estate, and the Clark County Assessor's 3% property-tax cap under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 keeps long-run carrying costs predictable.
What are property taxes like at Sun City Anthem?
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 $615,000 purchase, plan around $3,700–$4,300 per year. Long-held Sun City Anthem homes often carry abated tax bills — verify the post-sale reset with the Clark County Assessor before finalizing your budget.
What is the cost of living in Sun City Anthem?
Lower than most West Coast retirement markets. Nevada's zero state income tax and a roughly 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate (with a 3% annual cap) are the headline advantages. Day-to-day costs — groceries, utilities, healthcare, fuel — track the rest of Clark County. St. Rose Dominican Hospital is about ten minutes away, the M Resort, Sam's Town, and Henderson's restaurant corridor cover dining, and the plan's resort amenities replace expensive club memberships found elsewhere.
What healthcare is available near Sun City Anthem?
St. Rose Dominican Hospital's Siena Campus is approximately ten minutes north on St. Rose Parkway — Henderson's primary full-service medical center, with cardiology, orthopedics, and oncology. Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center is about twenty minutes via the I-215, and the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System campus is under thirty minutes for eligible veterans. Numerous specialist medical offices, imaging centers, and outpatient surgery facilities cluster along the St. Rose Parkway and Eastern Avenue corridors near the plan.
Is Sun City Anthem safe?
Yes. Sun City Anthem is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. The plan's gated entry on most access roads, the active-adult ownership profile, and Henderson's well-funded public-safety infrastructure combine to produce a security profile well below the national suburban average. Typical incidents are property matters — vehicle break-ins on perimeter access — rather than violent crime.
How is the commute from Sun City Anthem?
Very manageable. The M Resort and I-15 are about ten minutes south; St. Rose Parkway carries residents north to I-215 in roughly five minutes, putting Harry Reid International Airport about twenty minutes away and the Strip about twenty-five. For retirees, the commute question usually means medical appointments and airport runs — both well-served by Henderson's freeway grid. Rideshare pickups run fast; the RTC handles supplemental transit needs.
Can non-55+ buyers purchase in Sun City Anthem?
Only in limited circumstances. Because Sun City Anthem is a federally designated 55-plus community under HOPA, at least one resident per home must be 55 or older and no permanent resident may be under 18. A buyer under 55 could technically purchase for investment or as a primary residence if they meet the occupancy rules, but they cannot live there as the sole occupant under 55. Verify the current CC&R occupancy requirements with the association directly before any offer.
What should I know before buying in Sun City Anthem?
Four things move real money here. First, verify the age-restriction compliance for your household before you tour — there are no exceptions for family caregivers. Second, pull the full HOA resale package: dues, reserve-fund health, pending special assessments, and CC&Rs. Third, budget the post-sale property-tax reset — long-held homes re-assess at current value after sale. Fourth, model views and floor plan together: golf-view and mountain-view lots carry genuine premiums, and the forty-plus Del Webb models differ meaningfully in layout.
What down payment do you need to buy in Sun City Anthem?
Most Sun City Anthem buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional loans work across the full price range, VA loans are popular with veteran retirees and require zero down payment, and jumbo financing enters for homes above the conforming limit. On the $615,000 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $61,500 (10%) to $153,750 (25%); patio homes near $350,000 need as little as $10,500 down with FHA, though the 55-plus age rule means every buyer's household profile must comply with HOPA before committing to a loan.
How long does it take to close on a home in Sun City Anthem?
Most Sun City Anthem purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should add time for appraisal scheduling, and all buyers in a Sun City Anthem HOA must allow a few additional days for resale-package delivery from the association. The HOA may also require a transfer interview; confirm that requirement with the association before making a timeline commitment.
Is there rental income potential at Sun City Anthem?
Yes, but the community's CC&Rs restrict rentals to residents 55 or older — standard for HOPA-qualified 55-plus communities. Short-term rentals are not permitted under the CC&Rs and are also tightly regulated by the City of Henderson. Investors typically buy for long-term lease to age-qualifying tenants, with single-family rents in the broader 89052/89044 ZIP area running roughly $2,200–$3,000 monthly depending on model and view. Always verify current CC&R rental rules in the resale package before underwriting any income strategy.

Is Sun City Anthem the same as Anthem?
No — they are distinct communities in the same south Henderson area. Sun City Anthem is a Del Webb 55-plus age-restricted plan with 7,219 homes built from 1998. "Anthem" typically refers to the broader all-age Anthem master plan (Anthem West, Anthem East, Anthem Village) developed by Del Webb and Pulte in the same corridor without age restrictions.
What ZIP codes cover Sun City Anthem?
Sun City Anthem spans primarily ZIP codes 89052 and 89044. The 89052 ZIP is broader and includes neighboring Anthem communities and south Henderson neighborhoods; 89044 covers the community's more isolated southern portion near the I-15 Henderson corridor. Active-listing statistics at ZIP level are labeled as area figures on this page.
Is Sun City Anthem part of Las Vegas or Henderson?
Henderson. Sun City Anthem is a master-planned community inside the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV — "Sun City Anthem" is the community name, not a separate municipality.
How old are homes in Sun City Anthem?
Del Webb built Sun City Anthem from 1998 through approximately 2006 — homes are now roughly 20–28 years old. This age range means roofs, HVAC systems, water heaters, and cosmetic finishes are active budget items in most purchase transactions. Budget $15,000–$40,000 for updates on a non-renovated original depending on the floor plan and size.
Does Sun City Anthem have a pool?
Yes — three community pools plus pool-adjacent spa and recreation facilities at the Anthem Center (main clubhouse) and Liberty Center. Both centers are included in HOA dues with no separate usage fee. The Anthem Center pool complex is among the most elaborate resort-pool setups in any Henderson master-planned community.
Can you have grandchildren stay at Sun City Anthem?
Yes, with limits. Federal HOPA regulations permit guests to stay up to the number of days specified in the community's CC&Rs — typically 30 to 60 days per calendar year per the association's rules. Grandchildren cannot be permanent residents. Verify the current guest-stay policy in the Sun City Anthem resale package before closing.
How far is Sun City Anthem from the Strip?
About 15 miles — plan roughly 25 minutes via the I-15 north depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport is closer: approximately 20 minutes via I-15 north or the I-215 connection. The M Resort on the I-15 corridor is about ten minutes south — a popular dining and entertainment alternative that avoids Strip traffic entirely.
Is Sun City Anthem a good investment?
The fundamentals are solid for long-term holds: a built-out plan with no new Del Webb supply, strong amenity infrastructure that keeps demand from age-qualifying buyers steady, Nevada's zero income tax and 3% property-tax cap protecting returns, and 366 ZIP-area closings in the past 100 days proving resale liquidity. Short-term rental is prohibited by CC&Rs, so investment math requires long-term, age-qualifying tenancy.
