Search Cadence HomesFind My Home’s Value2,200 Acres, master-planned | No. 5 Top-selling U.S. master plan, mid-2026 | ~50 Acre Central Park | ~$530K Median sale price, Aug 2026 |
Cadence covers about 2,200 acres in east Henderson, south of the Clark County Wetlands Park and along Lake Mead Parkway. The LandWell Company is the master developer. The community had its opening in 2014, the first residents moved in during 2015, and it closed its 1,000th home in 2018. Buildout is currently estimated around 2031, so you are buying into a place that is still under construction. That activity is the headline. RCLCO ranked Cadence No. 5 among top-selling master-planned communities in the country at mid-year 2026, with 657 sales in the first half of the year. Only a handful of places in the valley move that kind of volume, and it means you have real choice here: multiple builders, dozens of floor plans, and standing inventory alongside build-to-order. The other thing worth knowing up front is what this land used to be. It sat downstream of the World War II era magnesium operation in Henderson and took industrial process waste in open ditches until 1976. A $135 million cleanup removed about 3.5 million cubic yards of soil, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection cleared the land in phases with final approval in 2015. That history is public, it is documented, and I would rather you hear it from me than from a search result after you are in escrow. | Cadence at a glance

Cadence is predominantly new and recent construction, and the product spread is wider than most Henderson master plans. Builders active in the community include Beazer Homes, Century Communities, D.R. Horton, Lennar, Richmond American Homes, Taylor Morrison and Woodside Homes, with Toll Brothers, StoryBook Homes and Harmony Homes also having built here. On top of the for-sale product there are build-to-rent neighborhoods and several apartment communities, so read the listing carefully and know which you are looking at.
The median sale price in Cadence was about $530,000 in August 2026 per Redfin, up 5.8% year over year, at about $233 per square foot. That $233 figure is the one I would pay attention to. It is below the Henderson average of about $257 per square foot for the same month, which is what newer construction on efficient lots tends to look like. You are buying more square footage per dollar here and less land.
| Home type | Character | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Townhomes & paired homes | Attached product from Century Communities and others, smallest footprints in the community | Entry level for Cadence |
| Single-family, smaller lots | The volume product across most villages, two-story plans on compact lots | Around the community median |
| Single-family, larger plans | Bigger two-story and some single-story plans, larger lots, later phases | Above the community median |
| Heritage at Cadence (55+) | Lennar's gated age-qualified village, duets and single-family from roughly 1,232 to 3,204 sq ft | Its own market, see below |

Cadence was planned around its parks rather than a golf course, and the amenity buildout has kept pace with the housing. Most of it is open to residents without a separate club membership.
Central Park The roughly 50-acre hub of the community, with a residents-only pool and a 2,000 square foot splash pad, a 5-acre adventure playground, lighted pickleball courts, an outdoor fitness court, a pavilion and amphitheater space used for community events. | The neighborhood parks Desert Pulse Park opened in 2018 and includes the Dakota Dog Park. Citrine Sky Park opened in 2024 with volleyball courts and play areas. Blooming Cactus Park, about 7 acres, followed in early 2025, and Desert Symphony Park adds a skate park. A larger Cadence Sports Park is in development. |
Cadence Village Center A 30-acre retail center inside the community anchored by a Smith's Marketplace, with Wells Fargo, Starbucks, Cafe Rio, Jersey Mike's, Great Clips and Domino's among the tenants. The ER at Cadence and Cadence Animal Hospital are also on site, so groceries and urgent care do not require leaving. | Schools & the zone lookup Three tuition-free public charter schools operate inside Cadence: Pinecrest Academy, Legacy Traditional School and Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas. Lake Mead Christian Academy is a private option nearby. Assigned CCSD campuses depend on your exact address and zoning shifts as the community grows, so run the address through the CCSD school zone lookup and confirm before you write an offer. |
~$530K Median sale price in Cadence, August 2026 (Redfin), up 5.8% year over year Cadence is running ahead of its surroundings on price. The Henderson median sale price was about $495,000 in August 2026 and roughly flat year over year, and Las Vegas Realtors put the valley-wide existing single-family median at $475,000 for the same month, down about 1%. Cadence at about $530,000 and up 5.8% is an outlier in the right direction, and the mix explains most of it: newer homes, larger plans, and a steady flow of builder closings that pull the median up. Days on market is where new-construction communities get misread. Redfin showed a 75-day median in Cadence in August 2026 against 58 days for Henderson overall, with 85 homes sold. That gap is not weakness, it is competition. When you list a four-year-old home here you are competing against a model home two streets over with a rate buydown attached. I price and prep resale in Cadence specifically against what the builders are offering that month, because that is the real comp set. Market figures are Redfin as of August 2026 and Las Vegas Realtors as of August 2026. Road facts are from NDOT route data. Drive times vary with the hour, so I have left estimates out and given you the actual road network instead. | HOA, in plain terms Cadence is a managed master plan, so every home pays master association dues that fund Central Park, the neighborhood parks, the trails and the community events calendar. Most villages then layer a sub-association on top for their own streets, landscaping and any village amenity, and the gated 55+ village at Heritage has its own structure and its own recreation center. Newer construction in this part of Henderson can also carry a special assessment district payment on top of the tax bill. Ask for that in writing on any home you are serious about, and get the Nevada resale package with the exact current dues before you close. Getting around

Very much so. Cadence was the No. 5 top-selling master-planned community in the United States at mid-year 2026 on 657 sales, and buildout is estimated around 2031. Builders keep opening new collections, with Lennar's Carlton and Woodside's Ambridge among the recent neighborhood launches, and the park program has continued right alongside them with Citrine Sky Park in 2024, Blooming Cactus Park in early 2025 and Cadence Sports Park in development.
The practical read for a buyer: you will live next to construction for a while, and that is the trade for getting in early on the amenity buildout. The practical read for a seller: your competition is a sales office, not just the neighbors. Both of those are manageable if you plan for them, and neither is a reason to avoid Cadence. It is a reason to be deliberate about which village and which phase you buy in.
The villages here look similar from the road and are not. Start with the product type and the phase, then work down to the plan.
You want the lowest entry point Look at the townhomes and paired homes. Smallest footprints, lowest price of entry into the master plan, and you still get Central Park and the village center. Confirm the sub-association dues, since attached product usually carries more of them. | You want brand new with incentives Several builders are actively selling, including Beazer, Century Communities, D.R. Horton, Lennar, Richmond American, Taylor Morrison and Woodside. Bring me to the first visit. Builder representation is registered at the door and it is difficult to add afterward. |
Age restricted village Heritage at Cadence is Lennar's gated 55+ village inside the master plan, with its own 22,713 square foot recreation center. Residency there is subject to the community's 55+ rule, which is a documented community restriction, not a preference. | You want nearly new without the wait Resale in the earlier phases gets you mature landscaping, finished streets and a park that is already built, usually at a lower price per square foot than a comparable new build with options loaded in. This is where the 75-day market works in a buyer's favor. |
The honest pros One of the deepest new-construction selections in the valley, with multiple builders competing Amenity package already delivered, including a roughly 50-acre Central Park and an anchored retail center inside the community Charter school options and an emergency room on site, so day-to-day errands stay local | The honest trade-offs Still under construction with buildout estimated around 2031, so expect ongoing work nearby Resale competes directly with builder inventory and incentives, which shows up in days on market Land history required a major environmental cleanup, so buyers should read the disclosures rather than skim them |
Cadence lists a deep roster of builders, which is unusual and useful. It means competing incentives in the same master plan, and it means you can compare a townhome, a paired home and a full single-family plan in one afternoon without driving across the valley.
Recent neighborhood launches include Lennar's Carlton and Woodside's Ambridge collection. Toll Brothers, StoryBook Homes and Harmony Homes have also built in Cadence. Alongside the for-sale product there are single-family build-to-rent neighborhoods and several apartment communities inside the master plan, so verify the ownership type on anything you find online before you get attached to it. One practical note: have me register you on your first visit to any sales office. Builder representation is recorded at the door and it is hard to add later.
| Builder | What they build here | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Century Communities | Single-family, paired homes, townhomes | Three collections listed in Cadence |
| Lennar | Single-family, plus the 55+ Heritage village | Carlton among recent launches |
| Woodside Homes | Single-family | Ambridge collection recently introduced |
| Richmond American Homes | Single-family | Active in the master plan |
| Taylor Morrison | Single-family | Active in the master plan |
| Beazer Homes | Single-family | Active in the master plan |
| D.R. Horton | Single-family, Express Homes line | Typically the entry-level detached product |
Heritage at Cadence is Lennar's gated age-qualified village inside the master plan. It is governed by a 55+ age restriction, which is a recorded community rule and applies regardless of who is buying. If you are considering it, read the age-qualification language in the community documents so you know exactly how it applies to everyone who will live in the home.
The village is built around the Heritage Recreation Center, about 22,713 square feet, with a fitness center, an indoor lap pool, a ballroom, a multipurpose room, hobby and craft rooms, billiards and a cafe, plus an outdoor pool, patio, pickleball and bocce courts and horseshoe pits. Home product ranges from attached duets around 1,808 to 2,064 square feet to single-family collections spanning roughly 1,232 to 3,204 square feet. Redfin showed a median sale price of about $515,000 in Heritage at Cadence as of March 2026, up 6.2% year over year, at about $276 per square foot, with a median 137 days on market. That last number is the one to plan around if you are selling there.
This is the part most listing descriptions skip. The federal government built a magnesium plant in Henderson in 1942 for the war effort. Manufacturing did not happen on the Cadence property itself, but the site received process waste in open ditches from the production of titanium, chlorine, pesticides and rocket fuel. Waste dumping stopped in 1976 and industrial activity in the area ended by 2005. A $135 million remediation removed about 3.5 million cubic yards of soil, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection cleared the land in phases, with final approval in 2015.
None of that is a reason to walk away, and thousands of homes have been built and sold here since. It is a reason to do the reading. On any Cadence home I would ask for the full seller real property disclosure, the community documents and any environmental documentation the developer provides, and I would confirm whether the home carries a special assessment district payment in addition to HOA dues. Send me the package and I will go through it with you line by line before your due diligence period runs.
The tax comparison is usually why the call starts. Nevada has no personal state income tax, and owner-occupied primary residences are covered by a 3% annual cap on property tax bill increases, with other property capped at up to 8%. On a rental or a second home, plan around that second number. The second thing California buyers notice is how much house the money buys. Cadence was running about $233 per square foot in August 2026, below the Henderson average of about $257. If you are coming from a coastal California market and you want new construction with a warranty, this is one of the shortest paths to it in Southern Nevada. Just build the HOA dues and any special assessment district payment into your monthly number before you fall in love with a floor plan. Plan Your Move to Las Vegas | California → Nevada

In east Henderson, on about 2,200 acres along Lake Mead Parkway (SR 564), south of the Clark County Wetlands Park. Lake Mead Parkway runs west to I-11, which carries US 93 and US 95, and I-215 ends at and continues as Lake Mead Parkway.

A $135 million cleanup removed about 3.5 million cubic yards of soil, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection cleared the land in phases with final approval in 2015. Read the seller disclosures and the community documents rather than skimming them, and ask me for the reports if you want them.
