The overview
The master plan that made modern Henderson

Green Valley is Southern Nevada's original master-planned community. American Nevada Corporation started planning it in 1973 and held the grand opening on October 24, 1978, with Governor Mike O'Callaghan there. It predates Summerlin by more than a decade, and it covers a large stretch of the southeast valley inside Henderson, across ZIP codes 89074, 89014, 89012 and part of 89052.

It grew in three waves. The original core came first, Green Valley South started building around 1985, and Green Valley Ranch broke ground in 1994. That timeline is the single most useful thing to understand here, because it explains almost everything about price, lot size, architecture and HOA structure from one street to the next.

The other thing to know is that Green Valley is an umbrella, not a subdivision. Wikipedia counts 22 named neighborhoods inside it, and some of them, like MacDonald Highlands, Ascaya, Whitney Ranch and Sun City MacDonald Ranch, are well known communities in their own right. When someone tells me they want Green Valley, my first question is always which part.

Home types & price bands in Green Valley

Because Green Valley built out over roughly four decades, the housing stock spans more eras than almost any other community in the valley. The original neighborhoods are late 1970s through 1990s, often on larger lots with mature landscaping. Green Valley Ranch is 1994 forward, with the floor plans, garages and finishes of that era. Both are established resale markets, not new construction.

The price split follows the build era. As of August 2026, Redfin put the Green Valley Ranch median at about $599,700, Green Valley South at about $435,900 and Green Valley North at about $424,800. Price per square foot tells a similar story, about $289 in the Ranch against about $230 in the North. That spread is the real story of this community, and it is why a Henderson-wide average is close to useless here.

Lifestyle & amenities

What you actually get living here

Show more

Green Valley has had 45-plus years to fill in, so the amenities are real and built out rather than promised. The retail, dining and recreation are inside the community, not a drive away, and Green Valley Parkway runs north to south through the middle of it as the main spine.

The District at Green Valley Ranch

American Nevada opened the first phase on April 15, 2004, seven buildings and about 406,000 square feet built as a pedestrian main street. It was the first mixed-use project of its kind in the valley, ahead of Town Square and Downtown Summerlin. Phase two arrived in August 2005 with Whole Foods and The Cheesecake Factory. It also has 88 condominiums above the retail.

Green Valley Ranch Resort

The resort opened December 18, 2001 at 2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, inside the Green Valley Ranch community, and is owned and operated by Station Casinos. It has a spa, pools, a 10-screen Regal Cinemas, restaurants and meeting space, plus a 497-room hotel.

Paseo Verde Library

A Henderson Libraries branch at 280 S. Green Valley Parkway, with a glass-wall reading room, a genealogy room, private meeting rooms, study rooms, 3D printing and an on-site coffee shop.

Retail beyond the community

Galleria at Sunset anchors the north end of the area and has been a major regional shopping destination since the mid-1990s. Green Valley Town Center, the original 200-acre mixed-use core on East Sunset Road, now includes a Galaxy Theater, Barley's and a Smith's.

Median sale price by section, August 2026 (Redfin)

There is no single Green Valley number, and anyone who gives you one is rounding off the thing that matters. In August 2026, Redfin showed Green Valley Ranch at a median of about $599,700, up roughly 4% year over year, with Green Valley South at about $435,900 and Green Valley North at about $424,800. For context, the valley-wide existing single-family median was $475,000 in August 2026 per Las Vegas Realtors, down about 1% from a year earlier.

Underneath those medians, price per square foot rose in all three sections, about 7% year over year in the Ranch and in the South, while the North was down about 12%. The Green Valley South median fell about 17% year over year on 76 sales, which reads as a mix shift rather than a collapse in value, since its price per square foot went up over the same period. Days on market ran about 43 in the Ranch, 54 in the South and 57 in the North, and sale-to-list ratios sat between about 97.8% and 98.5%. In plain terms: homes are selling close to asking, but not instantly, and the specific section matters more than the trend line.

HOA, in plain terms

Green Valley is not a single HOA. It is a 45-year-old master plan containing 22 named neighborhoods, many with their own associations and their own CC&Rs. Some of the original neighborhoods carry a light assessment or none at all, while gated sections and newer Green Valley Ranch neighborhoods generally cost more because they fund gates, private streets or additional landscaping. There is no valid community-wide dues figure to quote, so I pull the resale package for the specific home and we look at the actual number, the reserve position and any pending special assessment before you commit.

Population & growth

Is Green Valley still growing?

Not in the way a new master plan grows. Green Valley opened in 1978, the South section started around 1985 and the Ranch started in 1994, so the residential side is essentially complete. What you buy here is an established home, not a build slot, and the inventory turns over through resale rather than through a builder's release schedule.

The change happens commercially instead. The community's center of gravity shifted east and south after Galleria at Sunset and Sunset Station opened in the mid-1990s, which pulled retail away from the original Green Valley Town Center, and then again when The District opened in 2004 next to the resort. If new construction is what you want, newer Henderson master plans like Cadence and Inspirada are where I would look, and I will show you both alongside Green Valley so you can compare a finished community against one still filling in.

Find your fit

Which part of Green Valley fits what you're looking for?

Show more

The useful question in Green Valley is never the community, it is the section and the build era. Here is how I narrow it down by what you want in the home itself.

You want a larger lot and mature landscaping
Look at the original Green Valley North and South neighborhoods. These were built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, when lots were generally more generous and the street trees have had decades to fill in.
You want a newer floor plan
Green Valley Ranch broke ground in 1994, so its plans, garages and layouts reflect that era rather than the 1980s. It carries a higher median and a higher price per square foot for exactly that reason.
You want to walk to things
Focus on the neighborhoods near The District and Paseo Verde Parkway. That corridor puts shopping, dining, a movie theater, the resort and the library within a short distance of one another.
You want the lowest monthly carrying cost
Some of the original Green Valley neighborhoods carry a light HOA assessment or none at all. That can change the monthly math meaningfully against a gated Ranch neighborhood. I will confirm the exact figure from the resale package.
The honest pros
Established master plan with built-out retail, dining and recreation inside it
Wide range of build eras and price points under one community name
Direct I-215 access at Green Valley Parkway
The honest trade-offs
Original sections date to the late 1970s and 1980s, so condition varies a lot
HOA structure is inconsistent across 22 named neighborhoods
Essentially no new construction left inside the community
The distinction buyers ask about

Green Valley vs Green Valley Ranch

Show more

This is the question I answer most often about Henderson, and the confusion is understandable because the names are nearly identical and agents use them loosely. Green Valley is the master plan. American Nevada Corporation opened it in 1978 and it covers roughly 8,400 acres. Green Valley Ranch is one section within that master plan, and construction there started in 1994.

Practically, the distinction matters for three reasons. Build era: the original sections are late 1970s through early 1990s, the Ranch is 1994 forward. Price: as of August 2026 the Ranch median ran about $175,000 above Green Valley North. And amenities: the Ranch is where the resort and The District sit, at the I-215 and Green Valley Parkway interchange. If a listing says Green Valley, check which section it is actually in before you compare it to anything.

What's actually inside the Green Valley master plan

Show more

Green Valley is an umbrella name covering 22 named neighborhoods, and several of them are communities people shop for by name without realizing they sit inside Green Valley. The published list includes Green Valley Estates, The Village of Fox Ridge, Whitney Ranch, Hillsboro Heights, MacDonald Ranch, Sun City MacDonald Ranch, MacDonald Highlands, Ascaya, Roma Hills, Resort Villas, The Fountains, Quail Ridge, The Village of Silver Springs, The Legacy Village, The Grand Legacy, The Masters Series, Green Valley Ranch, Southfork, Sunridge Heights, Ventana Canyon, The Bluffs, Millwood Village, Westwood Village, Sentosa and Crown Pointe.

Several of those have their own guides on this site, including Whitney Ranch, MacDonald Ranch, MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya. They are very different products at very different price points, which is exactly why I push back when someone tells me their search is simply Green Valley. Give me the section, the build era and the gate requirement and the list gets short fast.

Schools

Schools in and around Green Valley

Show more

Green Valley is served by the Clark County School District, and assignment depends on the exact address, not on the community name. CCSD schools located in the Green Valley area include David M. Cox, Aggie Roberts, Selma F. Bartlett, James Gibson, Nate Mack, Estes M. McDoniel, Glen C. Taylor, Jim Thorpe, Harriet A. Treem, Neil C. Twitchell and John C. Vanderburg elementary schools; Francis H. Cortney Junior High, Barbara and Hank Greenspun Junior High, Bob Miller Middle School and Thurman White Middle School; and Silverado High School, which sits on the Green Valley and Paradise boundary.

Attendance boundaries get redrawn, and a community this large spans several zones, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific address with the CCSD school zone lookup before you make a decision. I am happy to walk you through how to check it.

Relocating

Moving to Green Valley from California

Show more

The tax picture is usually the first thing California buyers ask about. Nevada has no state income tax, and increases in property tax on an owner-occupied home are capped at 3% a year, up to 8% for other property. Against Green Valley medians running from about $425,000 in the original sections to about $600,000 in the Ranch as of August 2026, the budget generally goes further here.

The second thing worth planning for is age of home. Green Valley is an established community, so inspections matter more than they would in a five-year-old house. Roofs, HVAC, water heaters, pool equipment and original plumbing are all on my list when we tour. I can run video tours if you are shopping from out of state, and I will tell you honestly when a home's price reflects deferred work.

Green Valley real estate FAQ

What's the difference between Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch?

Green Valley is the whole 8,400-acre master plan that American Nevada Corporation opened in 1978. Green Valley Ranch is one section inside it that broke ground in 1994, on the south side near the I-215 and Green Valley Parkway interchange. So every Green Valley Ranch home is in Green Valley, but most Green Valley homes are not in the Ranch. The Ranch is newer and carries a higher median, about $600,000 in August 2026 against about $425,000 in Green Valley North.

Where is Green Valley in Henderson?

It covers a large part of southeast Henderson, using ZIP codes 89074, 89014, 89012 and part of 89052. Green Valley Parkway runs north to south through the middle of it, and the I-215 interchange at Green Valley Parkway is the main freeway access.

How old are the homes in Green Valley?

It depends on the section. The original core opened in 1978, Green Valley South started building around 1985 and Green Valley Ranch started in 1994. So you can find homes from the late 1970s through the 2000s and later under the same community name.

Gated and newer Ranch neighborhoods generally run higher. I confirm the exact figure from the resale package for any home you are considering.
