Custom alerts by village, price, beds, and lot position — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. Tessera homes with premium lots or upgraded finishes regularly go under contract in the first two to three weeks per Las Vegas REALTORS pace data; alert subscribers see new inventory within hours of hitting the MLS, well before the open house weekend.
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.

Tessera at Cadence delivers Henderson's most modern master-planned living: single-family homes with smart home technology, a 50-acre Central Park with resort pools and amphitheater, and a 2,200-acre community designed around connected streets and active outdoor life. City of Henderson services cover every street, and Nevada's zero state income tax keeps monthly ownership costs predictable.
Tessera is known as one of Cadence's signature single-family villages — modern construction with smart home features launched in 2015, positioned inside a master plan that consistently ranks among Nevada's top-selling communities for its 50-acre Central Park and resort amenity package.
Tessera fits young professional families seeking modern construction without the waiting period of new-build timelines, move-up buyers graduating from older Henderson resale, out-of-state relocators who want a defined community with established amenities, and investors who value Cadence's deep liquidity and rental demand.
Mornings might mean a lap at Cadence's resort pool or a walk on Central Park's trails, afternoons an errand run to Galleria at Sunset or St. Rose Dominican for healthcare, and evenings back inside a community where the HOA keeps streets and parks looking exactly like the day you toured.
Tessera at Cadence sits in east Henderson near the Lake Mead Parkway corridor, within the 2,200-acre Cadence master plan developed by LandWell Company starting in 2015. About 20 minutes from the Strip and 15 minutes from Harry Reid Airport.
Quick Answer
Yes — by most modern-family-suburb measures, Tessera delivers what most Henderson developments cannot combine: smart home construction, a 50-acre resort community park, Henderson-level safety, and a price band ($420K–$680K) that lands below the Henderson citywide median. The honest trade-offs: the 89011 corridor sits further east than Green Valley or Anthem, making west-side job commutes longer, and the 40-day median pace means the market favors thoughtful buyers rather than forcing snap decisions. Nevada's zero state income tax and the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 keep the long-run carrying costs predictable.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Tessera at Cadence — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654 and a median age of about 41. Cadence specifically skews younger, driven by newer construction and the family-formation demographic that master plans with resort amenities attract.
The Census does not break Tessera or Cadence out as separate places, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside Cadence, community records and our closing data show a blend of young professional families, California and Arizona relocators, and move-up buyers upgrading from older Henderson resale.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that growth pressure channels directly into Cadence — one of the valley's few large master plans still actively receiving new buyers. The Cadence corridor east of I-515 is among the city's fastest-developing quadrants.
Inside Cadence, growth means both new construction phases and strong resale turnover: 687 active listings across the 89011 ZIP area in June 2026 show how actively inventory moves. That combination of new-supply absorption and resale depth gives Tessera buyers confidence that the community will stay liquid over a 5- to 10-year hold horizon.

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.

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.

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
Lake Mead Parkway and I-515 carry Tessera residents to downtown Henderson in 10 minutes, the airport in 15, and the Strip in about 20. Henderson mean commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data. East Henderson adds distance to Summerlin employers — drive your actual route at rush hour before choosing.

Quick Answer
Most Tessera purchases close in 30 to 45 days — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash closes in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should budget extra days for dual HOA document delivery: the Cadence master association and Tessera sub-association each send a separate resale package. Our team coordinates directly with Cadence management to keep the process on schedule.
Quick Answer
Most Tessera buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% across most of Tessera's price range, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. On the $539,900 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $27,000 (5%) to $107,980 (20%). Homes closer to Tessera's $680,000 ceiling may approach conforming loan limits depending on your lender — confirm whether jumbo terms apply.

Tessera at Cadence FAQ — 18 Answers
Tessera homes are priced between $420,000 and $680,000, placing the village toward the upper tier of the Cadence master plan in Henderson ZIP 89011. Across the broader 89011 ZIP area, the median list price is about $533,500 per Las Vegas REALTORS, and the median closed price over the past hundred days has been $500,774. Tessera's modern single-family construction, smart home technology, and Cadence amenity access explain the premium over entry-level alternatives in the same ZIP.
Yes — Tessera is a single-family village within Cadence, the 2,200-acre Henderson master plan developed by LandWell Company starting in 2015. Tessera residents pay into the Cadence master association and enjoy full access to the 50-acre Central Park, resort-style pools, sports courts, community gardens, and miles of walking trails shared across all Cadence villages. As you narrow your search, compare Tessera's price band and floor plans against neighboring villages to find the best fit.
HOA fees in Tessera typically run $90 to $200 per month, covering both the Cadence master association and the village sub-association. Dues fund the 50-acre Central Park, resort pools, sports courts, trail maintenance, and community programming across the 2,200-acre plan. Because the exact assessment varies by phase and product line, Nevada Real Estate Group recommends ordering the HOA resale package — covering dues, reserves, and CC&Rs — before finalizing any Tessera offer. Call (702) 637-1759 to request one.
Cadence Central Park anchors the community with a resort pool, lap pool, amphitheater, multiple sports courts, a playground, and miles of connecting walking trails across its 50 acres. Additional pools, fitness facilities, community gardens, and organized events supplement the park throughout the 2,200-acre plan. The package is a major reason Cadence ranks among Nevada's top-selling master plans year after year. Plan a visit during your Tessera tour to judge the lifestyle firsthand.
Tessera sits approximately 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via I-515/US-95 — a drive that respects the commute without putting residents deep in the suburbs. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 15 minutes away via I-215, downtown Henderson about 10 minutes along Lake Mead Parkway, and Summerlin approximately 30 minutes via I-215 West. Drive your actual commute route at rush hour before committing — Henderson's eastside location performs well at peak times.
Students in Tessera attend Clark County School District campuses, several of which were designed specifically for Cadence's growth corridor. Public options include Elise L. Wolff Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Bob Miller Middle School (7/10), and Coronado High School (7/10). Charter alternatives — Doral Academy Fire Mesa (8/10) and Somerset Academy — and private options including Henderson International School and Bishop Gorman High School broaden the menu. Verify exact zoning with CCSD for any specific address before you offer.
Homes sold across the Tessera ZIP area (89011) over the past hundred days carried a median of about 37 days from list to accepted offer, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics — a pace that reflects the valley's mix of motivated buyers and careful comparison-shoppers at this price level. Well-priced Tessera homes with updated finishes and favorable lot positions tend to move in two to three weeks; homes with dated selections or interior lots sit longer.
Property taxes in Tessera follow Nevada's light structure: the effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and annual increases on a primary residence are capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $540,000 purchase, budget roughly $2,700–$3,800 per year. One Tessera-specific note: Cadence is a newer community, so most homes will be assessed closer to market value — the abated-tax scenario common in older Henderson neighborhoods applies less frequently here.
Yes — Tessera was built with families in mind. The Cadence Central Park's 50-acre footprint brings resort pools, sports courts, a playground, and community events into the daily routine, while the CCSD campuses serving the area include Elise L. Wolff Elementary and dedicated Cadence-corridor schools. Henderson consistently ranks among America's safest large cities in FBI-based comparisons, and the I-215 puts Harry Reid Airport fifteen minutes from the driveway for extended-family visits. Cadence's high homeownership rate and organized community events reinforce the family-neighborhood feel.
The Cadence corridor draws steady rental demand from professionals, families seeking top school zones, and workers serving Henderson's growing healthcare and commercial base. Single-family homes in the 89011 area typically rent for $2,200–$3,000 monthly, with Tessera's modern construction and Cadence amenities commanding premiums over older inventory at similar price points per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking. Investors should note that Henderson tightly regulates short-term rentals — verify rules with the City of Henderson before underwriting nightly income.
Tessera launched in 2015 as part of Cadence's first development phases, meaning most homes range from roughly five to ten years old — recent enough to carry modern energy-efficiency standards, smart home pre-wiring, and contemporary floor plans, yet settled enough that landscaping and the community's park infrastructure are already mature. Unlike green-field new-construction communities, Tessera buyers get the combination of move-in-ready homes, an established amenity base, and a defined neighborhood identity that takes years to develop.
Tessera is attainable for Henderson's middle-to-upper buyer. The ZIP-area median near $533,500 sits below Henderson's $548K citywide median, HOA fees of $90–$200 per month are moderate for a full-amenity master plan, and Nevada's zero state income tax stretches every relocating household's budget. Everyday costs — groceries, utilities, fuel — track the rest of Clark County, and Galleria at Sunset, St. Rose Dominican Hospital, and The District at Green Valley Ranch are all within 15 minutes of Tessera.
Cadence distinguishes itself through scale, amenity concentration, and recency. At 2,200 acres with a 50-acre Central Park — one of the largest community parks in Henderson — the plan delivers resort-caliber common areas that smaller infill neighborhoods cannot match. LandWell Company's 2015 launch means homes carry modern energy codes and smart home technology as standard, not upgrades. Cadence also competes for top-selling-community status in Nevada most years, supporting resale liquidity that newer or smaller plans cannot guarantee.
Yes. Tessera 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. Cadence's newer construction, high homeownership rate, active master association, and community programming all contribute to a settled, owner-focused neighborhood atmosphere. Typical incidents run to suburban property matters — vehicle break-ins in retail areas, not residential violence — consistent with Henderson's broader safety profile.
Four things matter most in Tessera. First, HOA layers: the Cadence master association and the Tessera sub-association both bill separately — confirm the combined total. Second, school zoning: CCSD boundaries in a newer community can shift as enrollment grows, so verify the exact campus for your address. Third, lot premiums: position, view, and proximity to Central Park drive meaningful price variance within Tessera itself. Fourth, builder incentive comparisons: some Cadence phases still have new-build inventory — ask our team whether resale or new suits your timeline and budget better.
Most Tessera buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% across most of Tessera's price range, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. On the $533,500 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $27,000 (5%) to $107,980 (20%). Tessera's upper price band — homes closer to $680,000 — may approach conforming loan limits, so confirm with your lender whether jumbo terms apply. Nevada Real Estate Group can connect you with lenders who specialize in the Cadence corridor.
Tessera carries a two-layer HOA structure: the Cadence master association and the Tessera neighborhood sub-association together total roughly $90 to $200 per month. Dues cover Central Park, the resort pools, sports courts, trail networks, landscaping standards, and community events. Because the exact split between master and sub dues varies by phase and can change with annual budgets, always pull the full resale package — dues, reserves, and CC&Rs — during escrow. Call (702) 637-1759 and our team will order the package for you.
Most Tessera 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 allow time for HOA document delivery (the Cadence master association and Tessera sub-association both send resale packages), appraisal scheduling, and any builder-warranty transfer that applies. Our team coordinates directly with the Cadence HOA management to minimize delays.

Eight questions Tessera buyers type into Google and AI assistants — answered with verifiable specifics from the City of Henderson, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings. Each answer links to the primary source so you can confirm the figure before your offer.
Yes. Tessera is a single-family village within the Cadence master plan, which sits entirely within the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89011 — "Tessera at Cadence" identifies the specific village and master plan, not a separate municipality.
Tessera at Cadence falls within Henderson ZIP code 89011. The MLS reports market statistics at the ZIP level, so area figures for this page cover all of 89011 — the full Cadence master plan and surrounding east Henderson inventory, which is broader than Tessera itself.
The fundamentals are strong: top-selling-community status in Nevada over multiple years, a 50-acre Central Park amenity that sustains buyer and renter demand, modern construction reducing near-term maintenance drag, and 687 active listings providing healthy appraisal comparables. Returns still depend on the specific lot, phase, and purchase price.
Cadence was developed by LandWell Company, a Henderson-based master developer, starting around 2015. LandWell has developed and managed the 2,200-acre plan's infrastructure, parks, and community amenities, while national builders including Lennar, KB Home, and Richmond American have built individual villages like Tessera within the master plan.
Yes — multiple pools. Cadence Central Park includes a resort pool and lap pool within its 50-acre footprint, and additional pool facilities are distributed across the 2,200-acre plan. All Cadence villages, including Tessera, access the pool network through master association dues of $50–$120 per month.
Consistently — Cadence is Henderson's most active master plan, ranking among Nevada's top-selling communities in recent years. Resort amenities, modern construction, and a growing Henderson east-side employment corridor drive demand. The trade-off is east Henderson location, which adds 20–30 minutes to west-side commutes.
About 20 minutes. Tessera sits near Lake Mead Parkway, which runs directly east to Lake Mead National Recreation Area's Boulder Beach and main visitor areas. It's one of Tessera's strongest location advantages over west-side communities — quick access to 1.5 million acres of boating, hiking, and shoreline.
Yes. The Lake Mead Parkway corridor offers a growing lineup of dining, and the Galleria at Sunset with its full restaurant row is about 15 minutes away. Lake Las Vegas, ten minutes east, has waterfront dining at Reflection Bay and the Westin Lake Las Vegas. The Strip's dining scene is 20 minutes via I-515.
