KEY TAKEAWAYS
Whitney Ranch is central Henderson’s ~1,800-acre established master plan — 5,500+ homes delivered from 1992 by American Nevada Corporation — in a city of 331,857 per the U.S. Census Bureau. Across its two ZIP codes (89014/89074), September 2026 medians run $439,000 list with 26-day market time per Las Vegas REALTORS. The takeaways below unpack that value.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: LVR, U.S. Census, City of Henderson
The Whitney Ranch area listed 380 active homes across ZIP codes 89014 and 89074 in September 2026 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — a footprint broader than the 5,500-home plan itself, spanning $350K townhomes to $600K estate-tier streets. The eight newest listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active listing is searchable in our live MLS portal.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
The two-ZIP Whitney Ranch area carries a $439,000 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS September 2026 MLS data, and 138 of its 380 active listings sit under $400K — entry territory the plan’s townhomes and early-phase homes anchor. The bands below show actual counts so you can gauge competition honestly.
The 380 active listings across the Whitney Ranch ZIP codes break down into six plan sections, three property types, and the price filters below — each link opens our live Henderson MLS search, with counts updated daily from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data.
Dedicated section pages are rolling out — until then, each card links to the most relevant hub or live search so you can see current inventory, price positioning, and lifestyle fit for that slice of the plan. Price tiers come from the community record; listing counts below are ZIP-corridor totals, since the MLS tags this plan at parcel level rather than by section.

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.

Compare each school’s programs and published results for the same reporting year. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; contact charter, magnet and private schools about their application and enrollment requirements.
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.

Whitney Ranch delivers established suburban living in the heart of Henderson: mature tree-lined streets, three major parks, HOA dues from just $50 monthly, and five-minute errands to Galleria at Sunset and the Water Street District. City of Henderson services cover the community, and I-215 and US-95 put the whole valley within reach.
Whitney Ranch is known as central Henderson’s convenience address — an established 1992 master plan by American Nevada Corporation with 5,500+ homes, mature landscaping, multiple parks, and a five-minute radius to the Galleria at Sunset, St. Rose hospital, and Water Street.
It fits first-time buyers entering through Whitney Commons townhomes, families targeting the Nate Mack Elementary zone, downsizers choosing Canyon Terrace single-story homes, and anyone who values short errands and commutes over resort amenities.
Mornings start on the walking paths or at the Whitney Ranch Recreation Area pool, errands take five minutes down Sunset Road or Boulder Highway, and evenings end at Cornerstone Park’s lake or a Water Street restaurant.
Whitney Ranch sits in the heart of Henderson between Sunset Road and Wigwam Parkway, spanning ZIP codes 89014 and 89074, minutes from both I-215 and US-95. About 1,800 acres. Roughly 12 miles from the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — especially if convenience and value top your list. Whitney Ranch pairs an established 1992 master plan of 5,500+ homes with central Henderson’s best everyday radius: Galleria at Sunset, St. Rose Dominican hospital, and the Water Street District all within about five minutes, plus full Henderson city services. The trade-offs are honest ones: homes date from 1992 to the mid-2000s, there are no guard gates, and the amenities are parks and pools rather than golf and resorts. For first-time buyers and families, the math is hard to beat.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Whitney Ranch — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Inside the plan, the community record estimates roughly 15,000 residents across about 5,500 households, with 72% owner-occupancy.
The Census does not break the plan out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the neighborhood, our closing data shows a mix of first-time buyers entering through Whitney Commons, long-tenured original owners from the 1990s phases, CCSD and St. Rose households who work minutes away, and steady California relocators chasing the value math.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Whitney Ranch itself is finished — the plan completed its build-out in the mid-2000s, so growth here means turnover and renovation, not new rooftops — while its parent city compounds steadily: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and central Henderson’s services keep densifying around the plan.
Being finished is the point: 5,500+ homes on ~1,800 acres with mature trees and settled streets is exactly what new master plans spend two decades trying to become. Supply only arrives through resale — roughly 85 closings a month across the broader two-ZIP area — and the renovated 1990s home has quietly become the plan’s premium product.

Whitney Ranch is a brisk, liquid market — sold homes across the two-ZIP area took a median 26 days over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS data, and the under-$400K band (138 of 380 active listings) moves fastest. Renovated homes in the Nate Mack school zone routinely draw multiple offers.

New Construction
Whitney Ranch itself is fully built out — the plan finished construction in the mid-2000s, and renovated resales are its premium product. Buyers who want new construction with a similar central-Henderson commute compare the Cadence and east Henderson corridors about 10–15 minutes away, where these builders are actively selling. Incentives change monthly — verify current offers before writing anything.
Outdoor Recreation
Parks, pools, and trail connections — Whitney Ranch is built around everyday recreation rather than resort spectacle. The City of Henderson maintains the surrounding park system, three major parks bracket the community, and Clark County Wetlands Park and the River Mountains Loop Trail add regional mileage — usable through 300 days of annual sunshine.
IN-COMMUNITY
The plan’s anchor: community pool, playground, basketball courts, picnic areas, and walking paths — the daily-routine hub for residents.
5 MIN
The area’s standout park — a lake with fishing, walking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a dog park just down Wigwam Parkway.
8 MIN
Recreation center, sports fields, pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds — the west-side complement for leagues and lessons.
10 MIN
The valley’s quiet giant — wetlands trails, a nature center, and birding along the Las Vegas Wash, minutes north of the plan.
15 MIN
The paved loop linking Henderson, Lake Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and Boulder City — a bucket-list valley ride with access points east of the plan.
25 MIN
America’s first national recreation area — full-size boating, coves, and desert hiking starting east of Henderson.
AT HOME
Internal walking paths thread the plan and connect toward Henderson’s broader multi-use trail system.
The Whitney Ranch Lifestyle
Three everyday moods within a five-minute radius: a morning at Cornerstone Park’s fishing lake, errands at Galleria at Sunset, and an evening on Water Street — with Lake Mead National Recreation Area per the National Park Service about twenty-five minutes east when you want to go bigger.
THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Most weekends offer real choice here — with 380 active listings across the two-ZIP area and roughly 85 closings a month, open houses are common, especially under $450K.

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.

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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Whitney Ranch sits inside Henderson’s everyday-economy core: healthcare, retail, schools, and city government all employ within minutes. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the metro labor market remains historically strong, and Henderson incomes run well above the county median. St. Rose Dominican, the Galleria corridor, and the Water Street civic center anchor local 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
This is the plan’s superpower: Whitney Ranch sits between the I-215 Beltway and US-95, so every quadrant of the valley is reachable without crossing town first. Most households drive, with mean Henderson commutes near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and daily errands barely register at about five minutes.

Quick Answer
Most Whitney Ranch purchases close in 30 to 45 days from acceptance; cash can close in 7 to 14. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys, and the HOA resale package adds a few days of review. With roughly 85 closings a month area-wide, appraisals are rarely a bottleneck. Townhome buyers should have their lender confirm the sub-association early.
Quick Answer
Most Whitney Ranch buyers put down 3% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers — about $13,800 on the $461,195 area median — FHA allows 3.5%, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. A 10% down payment runs roughly $46,100 and 20% about $92,200. On a $350,000 Whitney Commons townhome, 3% is $10,500. Every price point in this plan sits comfortably under conforming loan limits, so jumbo financing is essentially never an issue here.
Whitney Ranch FAQ — 18 Answers
Across the two Whitney Ranch ZIP codes (89014/89074), the median list price is about $439,000 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, with a $429,000 median sold price over the past hundred days. Those ZIPs include neighborhoods beyond the plan; Whitney Ranch homes trade between $350,000 for townhomes and $600,000 for homes on premium lots, per the community record.
For buyers who rank convenience and value first, it is one of Henderson’s best answers. The plan puts Galleria at Sunset, St. Rose Dominican’s Rose de Lima campus, and the Water Street District within about five minutes, with mature parks and tree-lined streets inside. The honest trade-offs: homes date from 1992 to the mid-2000s, there are no gates, and the amenities are parks rather than resorts.
Six named sections cover the ladder. Whitney Ranch Estates leads with larger homes on premium lots from about $500K. Sunset Hills offers two-story family homes from the mid-$400Ks near the Galleria. Canyon Terrace is single-story product popular with downsizers from around $400K, Park View fronts the community parks, Horizon View carries the newest floor plans, and Whitney Commons townhomes open the door from roughly $350K.
Homes sold across the Whitney Ranch ZIP area over the past hundred days took a median of about 46 days from list to accepted offer, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics. Monthly medians ranged 21 to 34 days over the past year, and well-priced homes under $400,000 routinely move fastest — that band held 138 of the area’s 380 active listings in September 2026.
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 $439,000 area-median purchase that pencils to roughly $190–$270 per month. As with any resale, verify the parcel’s tax cap status and any assessment balances in escrow.
Yes, but they are among the lowest of any established Henderson master plan: roughly $50 to $120 per month depending on the section, per the community record. Dues cover common-area landscaping, parks upkeep, and governance. Whitney Commons townhomes run higher than detached sections because exterior maintenance is bundled in. Sub-associations differ on inclusions and rules, so pull the resale package on any specific home before writing an offer.
Attainable for Henderson. The area median near $439,000 sits well below the city’s $548,000 citywide median, HOA dues start around $50 monthly, and Nevada levies no state income tax — a five-figure annual swing for many relocating California households. Day-to-day costs track the rest of Clark County, and the five-minute errand radius quietly saves on the one budget line nobody models: drive time and fuel.
The zoned Clark County School District ladder is one of east Henderson’s stronger ones per GreatSchools: Nate Mack Elementary rates 8/10, Jack Lund Schofield Middle School 6/10, and Green Valley High School 7/10. Doral Academy (9/10) and Somerset Academy (8/10) lead the nearby charters, while Henderson International School and Pinecrest Academy are well-regarded private options. Zoning varies between sections, so confirm attendance boundaries for any specific address.
It is built for exactly those two groups. Families get parks, playgrounds, and walking paths threaded through the plan, an 8/10 zoned elementary, and youth programs across central Henderson minutes away. First-time buyers get a genuine entry ladder — townhomes from about $350,000 and early-phase single-family homes under $450,000 — in a city that consistently ranks among America’s safest. Visit on a weekend to see the parks in use.
Steady and landlord-friendly in the long-term lane: detached homes in this band typically rent for about $2,000–$2,600 per month and townhomes around $1,600–$2,000, per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking. Demand draws on St. Rose hospital staff, Galleria-corridor retail workers, and CCSD families. Short-term rentals are a different story — the City of Henderson regulates them tightly, so never underwrite vacation-rental income without reading the city rules and CC&Rs first.
Essentially none — the plan finished its build-out in the mid-2000s, so the market is fully resale, which is exactly what delivers the mature landscaping and settled character buyers come here for. Renovated and well-updated homes are the premium product. Buyers set on new construction should compare the Cadence and Inspirada corridors, where national builders are actively selling, then weigh the commute trade against Whitney Ranch’s central location.
Everyday rather than resort: the roughly 15-acre Whitney Ranch Recreation Area anchors the plan with a community pool, playground, basketball courts, and walking paths. Cornerstone Park adds a fishing lake, trails, and a dog park nearby, and Paseo Verde Park contributes a recreation center, sports fields, and tennis. Then the location does the rest — Galleria at Sunset, dozens of restaurants, and St. Rose Dominican hospital sit about five minutes out.
Among the best in the valley. The plan sits between the I-215 Beltway and US-95, so the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport both run about 20 minutes, downtown Las Vegas about 22, and every quadrant of the valley is reachable without crossing town first. Daily errands barely register: Galleria at Sunset is roughly five minutes via Sunset Road and the Water Street District five via Boulder Highway.
Yes. Whitney Ranch 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 is an open community — no gates — and relies on that citywide baseline plus established, owner-heavy streets; the community record estimates 72% owner-occupancy. Typical incidents are suburban property matters, not violent crime.
Four things move real money here. First, search both ZIP codes — 89014 and 89074 — because listings split across them. Second, build-year variety: 1990s-phase homes may need roof, HVAC, and window budgets that later phases will not. Third, HOA sub-associations differ, so read the specific resale package. Fourth, comps vary sharply by phase and section — call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 and we will narrow it to the right streets.
Most Whitney Ranch buyers put down 3% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers — about $13,800 on the $439,000 area median — FHA allows 3.5%, and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. A 10% down payment runs roughly $46,100 and 20% about $92,200. On a $350,000 Whitney Commons townhome, 3% is $10,500. Every price point in this plan sits comfortably under conforming loan limits, so jumbo financing is essentially never an issue here.
Budget roughly $50 to $120 per month depending on the section, per the community record — among the lowest dues of any established Henderson master plan, covering common-area landscaping, parks upkeep, and governance. Whitney Commons townhomes and patio homes run toward the top of the range (and sometimes above it) because exterior maintenance is bundled in. There is no master-plus-club layering like gated communities carry. Always pull dues, reserves, and any assessment history in escrow before you commit.
Most Whitney Ranch purchases close in 30 to 45 days from acceptance; cash can close in 7 to 14. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys, and the HOA resale package adds a few days of review. With roughly 85 closings a month area-wide, appraisals are rarely a bottleneck. Townhome buyers should have their lender confirm the sub-association early.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
These are the eight queries Whitney Ranch buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: plan facts from the community record, prices from Las Vegas REALTORS, and city data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
No — and the distinction matters for your search. Whitney Ranch is a master-planned community inside the City of Henderson (ZIP 89014/89074) with Henderson police, fire, and services. Whitney is a separate unincorporated Clark County town several miles northwest along Boulder Highway. Confirm the jurisdiction on any listing labeled just “Whitney.”
American Nevada Corporation — the same developer behind Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch — began Whitney Ranch in 1992 and delivered 5,500+ homes across roughly 1,800 acres over a 15-year build-out, per the community record.
No. Whitney Ranch is an open master-planned community with HOA governance rather than staffed gates — which is precisely why dues run just $50–$120 a month. Buyers who require gates compare Henderson’s guard-gated plans at meaningfully higher price points and dues.
Two: 89014 and 89074, both central Henderson. Listings split across them, so search both — or use a boundary-accurate alert — because each ZIP also contains non-plan neighborhoods that can skew casual searches.
Yes — light-touch by Henderson standards. Dues run roughly $50 to $120 per month per the community record, covering common-area landscaping, parks upkeep, and governance, with section sub-associations setting their own rules and inclusions.
About 12 miles — plan roughly 20 minutes via I-215 to I-15, with US-95 as the alternate. Harry Reid International Airport also runs about 20 minutes, and downtown Las Vegas about 22 via I-515.
Yes — Whitney Commons is the plan’s townhome and patio-home section, opening the door from roughly $350,000 with HOA-covered exteriors. The broader two-ZIP area showed 44 active townhome listings in September 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data.
From 1992 through the mid-2000s across multiple phases, at roughly 1,200 to 3,000+ square feet. Build-year matters here: earlier phases may need roof, HVAC, and window updates, while later phases carry more open layouts — and renovated 1990s homes are the plan’s quiet premium product.
