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.

Sunset Palms delivers accessible Henderson suburban living: 350+ KB Home single-family homes built in 2004 across 50 acres, HOA dues under $140 monthly, and school zones feeding 8/10-rated CCSD campuses. City of Henderson services — police, fire, parks — cover every street, and Nevada's zero state income tax stretches household budgets compared to any West Coast metro.
Sunset Palms is known as a value-entry point into Henderson's coveted 89052 ZIP code — the same corridor as Seven Hills and MacDonald Ranch — with KB Home 2004 construction, light HOA dues, and school zones feeding well-rated CCSD campuses.
It fits first-time buyers seeking an established Henderson address from $320K, move-up families who want more home for the money than neighboring luxury communities offer, and investors who value Henderson's safety record and school-zone tenant demand.
Mornings use Acacia Park or Paseo Verde Park's aquatic center, daily errands stay local on Sunset Road and Eastern Avenue, and the I-215 connects the airport in twenty minutes and the Strip in twenty-five — without Strip-adjacent noise.
Sunset Palms occupies the western side of Henderson's 89052 corridor, roughly bounded by the I-215 beltway to the north and west and Sunset Road to the south. About 50 acres. Roughly 12 miles from the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — for value-oriented Henderson buyers, Sunset Palms punches above its price. It sits in the same 89052 ZIP corridor as Seven Hills and MacDonald Ranch, served by the same Henderson Police Department and city infrastructure, with school zones feeding 8/10-rated Vanderburg Elementary and the Pinecrest Academy charter at 9/10 nearby. The honest trade-offs: KB Home 2004 construction requires inspection diligence at 20-plus years, the community lacks a staffed gate, and the ZIP-level median price ($698,950) reflects surrounding luxury, not Sunset Palms pricing ($320K–$520K). Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 make the hold math favorable.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city containing Sunset Palms — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records estimate Sunset Palms at 350+ homes and roughly 1,050+ residents within the plan.
The Census does not tabulate Sunset Palms separately, so the figures below reflect Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside Sunset Palms, our transaction data shows a mix of first-time buyers, young families drawn to the school zone quality, and California relocators who found the 89052 address at a price tier unavailable on the coast.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Sunset Palms itself is built out — the 350+ KB Home homes were completed in 2004 and no new lots remain. Growth means resale turnover and appreciation pressure from the parent city: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that steady demand keeps the 89052 corridor prices rising even as the community itself does not expand.
A built-out community in a growing city is the landlord's and long-term owner's thesis: no new KB Home supply can dilute Sunset Palms while Henderson's population keeps adding demand to the 89052 corridor. The 24-day median days on market across the ZIP area confirms that demand is active, not theoretical.

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. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
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.

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 is Sunset Palms' commute anchor, and Sunset Road, Eastern Avenue, and Gibson Road grid the local area for errands. Mean Henderson commute times run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — shorter than the coastal-metro averages most relocators leave behind, and the I-215 rarely produces urban-freeway-level gridlock.

Sunset Palms FAQ — 18 Answers
Sunset Palms homes trade in the $320K–$520K range. The 89052 ZIP area carries a $688,950 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS, but that figure blends Seven Hills and MacDonald Ranch luxury into the same code. Inside Sunset Palms, entry floor plans start in the mid-$300Ks and updated four-bedroom homes reach $450K–$520K. KB Home construction from 2004 holds up well when maintained.
Sunset Palms is not guard-gated. The community is managed by an HOA that maintains common areas, landscaping, and community standards, which keeps dues reasonably light at $55–$140 per month. Buyers who specifically want a staffed gate and perimeter wall should look at nearby Seven Hills or MacDonald Highlands; our team can show you both sides of the gate in the same afternoon to let you compare the lifestyle trade-off directly.
Budget $55–$140 per month for Sunset Palms HOA dues. The association covers common-area landscaping, street maintenance standards, and community aesthetic controls. The precise figure varies by sub-association phase, so request the resale disclosure package during escrow to confirm the current amount, reserve fund status, and any pending special assessments. Nevada escrows typically run 30–45 days, giving you time to review, but request documents immediately after acceptance.
Students are zoned to Clark County School District campuses — area options include Vanderburg Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (8/10), and Coronado High School. Private choices include Bishop Gorman High School and Henderson International School, with charter options such as Pinecrest Academy (9/10) and Doral Academy (8/10) nearby. Always confirm the exact zoned campus for a specific Sunset Palms address with CCSD before writing an offer, as zone boundaries can shift between school years.
Plan roughly 25 minutes to the Strip via I-215 west to I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport is closer — about 20 minutes up the I-215 beltway. Downtown Henderson is about 15 minutes east on local roads, and Summerlin runs about 30 minutes via I-215. The I-215 access from the 89052 corridor is the commute asset most buyers from outside Henderson underestimate until they drive it at rush hour — test it at your actual commute time.
Yes. Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in America — confirmed by FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data over multiple years — with a dedicated Henderson Police Department separate from LVMPD. The 89052 corridor where Sunset Palms sits is a residential area with established ownership, engaged HOA oversight, and the settled street character that comes with owner-occupied suburban neighborhoods built in the 2000s.
The fundamentals are solid. A $320K–$520K price band in the Henderson market — where the citywide median sits at $548K — means buyers enter at a relative discount. KB Home construction from 2004 is a known quantity. Nevada sharpens the hold math: no state income tax, an effective property-tax rate near 0.5–0.7%, and a 3% annual cap on primary-residence increases under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for a current appreciation and rental analysis.
Sunset Palms sits within ZIP code 89052 in Henderson, Nevada. That ZIP also contains Seven Hills, MacDonald Ranch, and parts of Anthem, which is why the area-level median list price ($688,950) runs well above Sunset Palms pricing — the luxury communities skew the ZIP aggregate upward. When setting search alerts, use 89052 paired with the community name, or ask our team to build a boundary-specific search.
KB Home is a national production builder that delivers value-oriented suburban construction with customizable floor plans. Homes in Sunset Palms were built in 2004, meaning they are now two decades old — plan inspection scrutiny on HVAC systems, water heaters, roof tiles, and any plumbing transitions. Buyers coming from new construction should budget for deferred maintenance; buyers comparing to similarly-aged Las Vegas Valley homes will find KB Home stock holds up competitively when prior owners kept up maintenance.
Several City of Henderson parks are within easy reach. Acacia Park offers roughly 15 acres with playgrounds, sports fields, walking trails, and picnic areas. Paseo Verde Park provides about 30 acres including an aquatic center, sports fields, and walking loops. Heritage Park adds garden space, event areas, and shaded walking paths. The Henderson parks system is one of the city's genuine quality-of-life advantages — every major residential corridor in the city connects to maintained park facilities within a short drive.
Very manageable. I-215 is the spine connecting Sunset Palms to the rest of the valley: 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport, 25 to the Strip, 30 to Summerlin. Downtown Henderson runs about 15 minutes on local roads via Gibson Road or Eastern Avenue. Per U.S. Census ACS estimates, mean Henderson commute times run near 25 minutes — shorter than the coastal-metro averages most relocators leave behind, and the I-215 rarely produces the gridlock of a true urban freeway.
Single-family rentals in the 89052 ZIP area and surrounding Henderson corridors typically command $2,100–$2,700 per month for three- and four-bedroom homes, per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking. Sunset Palms floor plans from 2004 translate well to family rentals — adequate square footage, attached garages, and proximity to quality schools drive tenant demand and retention. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Henderson; verify the rules before underwriting nightly income.
Sunset Palms offers genuine value within the same 89052 ZIP code that also carries Seven Hills and MacDonald Ranch luxury. Where Seven Hills guard-gated villages start near $1M and Anthem family homes cluster from $500K–$900K, Sunset Palms gets buyers into Henderson for $320K–$520K with KB Home construction, light HOA dues, and the same Henderson schools and city services. The trade-offs are build quality tier, gating, and square footage — Sunset Palms fits first-time buyers and value-oriented families who want the ZIP code without the luxury premium.
No — Sunset Palms was completed in 2004 and the community is fully built out. All inventory is resale. Buyers who specifically want new construction with comparable Henderson access should look at Cadence in the 89011 corridor, where Richmond American, Woodside Homes, and other builders have active communities, or at newer Inspirada phases to the southwest. Our team can show new and resale side by side so you can weigh warranties against established neighborhood character.
Four items matter most. First, age: 2004 KB Home stock deserves full inspection — HVAC, water heaters, roof, and garage doors all near the end of useful life at 20-plus years. Second, ZIP context: the 89052 median list price of $688,950 blends Seven Hills luxury — Sunset Palms actives sit well below that figure. Third, HOA timing: request the resale package at acceptance, not the night before closing. Fourth, school zoning: Vanderburg and Coronado zone boundaries shift — confirm the exact address assignment with CCSD.
Most Sunset Palms buyers put down 3.5% to 20%. FHA loans allow 3.5% down with a minimum 580 credit score and work across the full $320K–$520K Sunset Palms price band — on a $400,000 purchase that is $14,000 down. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Jumbo financing is not needed at this price point. A thorough pre-approval before your first offer keeps things moving in Henderson's 24-day median market.
Sunset Palms HOA dues run $55–$140 per month, covering common-area landscaping, community standards enforcement, and shared amenity upkeep. The exact figure depends on which phase of the community a property sits in. Always pull the resale disclosure package during escrow — it shows dues, reserves, any pending special assessments, and the CC&Rs. Nevada escrows close in 30–45 days, so you have time to review, but request documents the moment the purchase agreement is signed.
Most Sunset Palms purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can complete in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should add time for appraisal scheduling during busy spring and summer seasons. HOA resale package delivery adds a few business days. Age the inspection: 2004 KB Home construction at 20-plus years warrants thorough review of HVAC, roof, water heater, and any plumbing, so build adequate inspection response time into the offer terms.

The eight questions below cover what Henderson buyers search most about Sunset Palms — school zones, ZIP context, KB Home quality, HOA rules, and commute times. All answers draw on data from City of Henderson, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, and GreatSchools ratings so you can verify every claim.
Henderson. Sunset Palms sits in the City of Henderson — served by Henderson Police, Henderson Fire, and the City of Henderson's water and parks systems. Mailing addresses read Henderson, NV 89052. Henderson is a separate city from Las Vegas with its own municipal government and a consistent top-ten national safety ranking.
ZIP 89052 — a corridor shared with Seven Hills, MacDonald Ranch, and parts of Anthem. The luxury inventory in those communities pushes the 89052 median list price to $688,950 per Las Vegas REALTORS, well above the $320K–$520K Sunset Palms price band. Use 89052 with the community name in any search alert to filter accurately.
KB Home is a large national production builder with a reputation for value-oriented suburban construction and floor-plan customization. Homes in Sunset Palms were built in 2004, making them 20-plus years old — the meaningful question is maintenance history, not builder brand. A thorough inspection covering HVAC, tile roof, water heater, and any plumbing transitions tells you more than the builder name.
Yes — as with most Henderson HOA communities, Sunset Palms CC&Rs govern exterior paint colors, landscaping standards, parking, and fence heights, among other items. Review the full CC&Rs during escrow before committing; the resale disclosure package includes them. The dues range of $55–$140 per month sits comfortably within the light end of Henderson community dues structures.
Sunset Palms does not have an in-community pool or clubhouse. Common area maintenance and landscaping are the HOA's primary function. Residents use the City of Henderson's Paseo Verde Park aquatic center about 10 minutes away, or explore the Seven Hills Tennis Center and other nearby facilities for active amenities.
All Sunset Palms homes were built in 2004 by KB Home — making them approximately 21 years old as of 2026. HVAC systems, water heaters, tile roofs, and garage door motors are all at or past their typical useful life at that age. Budget for system replacements in your first two to five years, and let a thorough inspection guide which items are still functional versus which need immediate replacement.
Approximately 20 minutes via I-215 west. Sunset Palms sits in the southwestern Henderson 89052 corridor, and the I-215 beltway connects directly to Harry Reid International Airport without navigating the Strip or downtown Las Vegas. Most rideshares complete the run for $18–$28.
The fundamentals support it: a $320K–$520K entry price in a Henderson ZIP code with a much higher area median, built-out inventory, 8/10-rated school zones that anchor tenant demand, and Nevada's zero income tax with a 3% primary-residence property-tax cap. Long-term holds in owner-heavy Henderson suburban communities have historically performed well — though no guarantee applies.
