Explore One of Henderson’s Most Established Hillside Master-Planned Communities
Anthem sits in the southern foothills of Henderson and offers a very different experience from Green Valley, Inspirada, Cadence or Lake Las Vegas.
The broader Anthem master-planned community covers about 2,535 acres and is nearly built out. The City of Henderson reported about 15,003 existing residential units as of January 2025, compared with a planned maximum of 15,350.
Anthem is actually made up of several distinct communities, including:
SUN CITY ANTHEM
ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB
ANTHEM HIGHLANDS
SOLERA
COVENTRY
TERRA BELLA
The Anthem Community Council identifies those six communities as the components of greater Anthem.
SO “ANTHEM” IS NOT ONE NEIGHBORHOOD.
It is a collection of communities with very different:
Home types.
Age restrictions.
HOAs.
Amenities.
Golf access.
Price ranges.
Lot positions.
That distinction matters when you’re deciding where in Anthem you actually want to live.
QUICK ANTHEM OVERVIEW
Anthem may be worth exploring if you are looking for:
ELEVATED HENDERSON LIVING
MOUNTAIN & VALLEY VIEWS
SINGLE-STORY HOMES
55+ COMMUNITIES
GOLF
GUARD-GATED LUXURY
ESTABLISHED RESALE HOMES
PARKS & TRAILS
LARGER HOMES
QUIETER RESIDENTIAL STREETS
ACCESS TO SOUTHERN HENDERSON
ANTHEM FEELS ESTABLISHED.
Unlike communities still adding major residential phases, much of Anthem is already built.
That means you’re primarily shopping:
RESALE.
And resale here can vary tremendously.
WHAT DOES ANTHEM FEEL LIKE?
One of Anthem’s most noticeable characteristics is:
ELEVATION.
Parts of the community sit higher in the foothills above the Las Vegas Valley.
Depending on the exact property, that can create:
Las Vegas Valley views.
Strip views.
Mountain views.
Elevated streets.
More dramatic lot positions.
Anthem Country Club, for example, sits around 2,600 feet in elevation in the Black Mountain foothills, and its golf course is specifically known for its elevation changes and valley views.
THE AREA FEELS MORE HILLSIDE THAN GREEN VALLEY.
And more established than:
Inspirada.
Cadence.
Lake Las Vegas.
That makes Anthem especially useful for relocation buyers who want Henderson but do not necessarily want to live inside a brand-new subdivision.
START BY UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF ANTHEM
This is the most important section of the page.
SUN CITY ANTHEM
55+ ACTIVE-ADULT LIVING
Sun City Anthem is one of Southern Nevada’s major age-qualified communities.
If you’re looking specifically for:
Single-story homes.
55+ living.
Clubhouses.
Golf access nearby.
Fitness.
Social activities.
Established resale inventory.
this is one of the areas to compare.
The City of Henderson lists the Sun City Anthem Community Center at 2450 Hampton Road as one of the city’s notable facilities.
[ BUTTON: SEARCH SUN CITY ANTHEM HOMES ]
SOLERA AT ANTHEM
Solera is another age-qualified part of greater Anthem.
It tends to offer a different housing and pricing profile from Sun City Anthem.
Buyers may explore Solera if they want:
55+.
Single-story housing.
Smaller-footprint homes.
Established community.
Amenities.
Henderson location.
DO NOT TREAT ALL ANTHEM 55+ COMMUNITIES AS INTERCHANGEABLE.
Compare:
Home size.
HOA.
Amenities.
Lot.
Clubhouse.
Resale condition.
[ BUTTON: SEARCH SOLERA HOMES ]
ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB
This is the private-club and luxury side of Anthem.
Anthem Country Club is a gated luxury community built around an 18-hole golf course designed by Hale Irwin and Keith Foster.
The club offers:
Golf.
Fitness.
Pool.
Tennis.
Pickleball.
Dining.
Social events.
Mountain and valley views.
THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT HOME SEARCH FROM SUN CITY ANTHEM.
Here you may find:
Luxury single-family homes.
Golf-course properties.
Elevated lots.
Strip-view homes.
Larger residences.
More upscale custom/semi-custom architecture.
[ BUTTON: SEARCH ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB HOMES ]
IMPORTANT: COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Do not assume:
“I LIVE IN ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB, SO EVERY CLUB PRIVILEGE IS AUTOMATIC.”
Membership structures should be verified directly.
The club currently states that membership does not require residency within the gated community, which tells you that real-estate ownership and club membership are separate concepts.
ASK:
What membership is included, if any?
What is optional?
What are the current initiation costs?
What are the ongoing dues?
What transfers?
ANTHEM HIGHLANDS
Anthem Highlands is the all-ages master-planned portion of Anthem.
Its community association says it was established in 2003 and contains approximately 1,647 residences across 11 neighborhoods, with more than 26 acres of trails and common areas under HOA management.
This area can appeal to buyers who want:
Non-age-qualified housing.
Established homes.
Parks.
Trails.
Mountain setting.
Access toward Sloan Canyon.
THIS IS IMPORTANT:
ANTHEM IS NOT ONLY 55+.
A relocation buyer may hear “Anthem” and assume:
“THAT’S A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.”
It isn’t.
Certain parts are age-qualified.
Others are not.
[ BUTTON: SEARCH ANTHEM HIGHLANDS HOMES ]
COVENTRY & TERRA BELLA
Coventry and Terra Bella are also part of greater Anthem.
These areas contribute to Anthem’s broader mix of:
All-ages housing.
Established resale.
Single-story and two-story options.
Different HOA structures.
Because individual subdivisions vary, I would shop them based on:
The actual house.
Street.
Lot.
Association.
rather than relying on the Anthem name alone.
ANTHEM HILLS PARK
Anthem Hills Park & Anthem East Trailhead is one of the major public recreation destinations in the area.
Located at:
2256 N. REUNION DRIVE
The City of Henderson lists amenities including:
Ball fields.
Basketball.
Multi-purpose fields.
Open grass.
Picnic areas.
Playground.
Roller hockey.
Skate park.
Volleyball.
Walking trails.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO START AN ANTHEM COMMUNITY TOUR.
It shows you the all-ages recreational side of the area.
ANTHEM EAST TRAILHEAD
The same park provides access to:
ANTHEM EAST TRAILHEAD.
Henderson specifically maintains this trailhead as part of its larger trail network.
This is useful if you like:
Hiking.
Walking.
Running.
Mountain biking.
Desert-edge recreation.
ANTHEM’S TRAIL ACCESS IS DIFFERENT FROM A FLAT SUBURBAN WALKING PATH.
Parts of this area sit directly against the foothills and desert.
That can give you:
Elevation.
Views.
More rugged outdoor access.
ESSELMONT PARK
Esselmont Park North sits in the Anthem Highlands area.
Located at:
2725 ANTHEM HIGHLANDS DRIVE
The City lists:
Dog park.
Basketball.
Open grass.
Playground.
Splash pad.
Walking trails.
Picnic areas.
Barbecues.
This is a good stop if you’re exploring Anthem Highlands specifically.
MADEIRA CANYON PARK
Madeira Canyon Park is another useful park toward the southern Anthem/Anthem Highlands area.
The park combines:
Open green space.
Walking paths.
Sports areas.
Playground.
Mountain/valley surroundings.
It is useful for understanding how Anthem transitions toward the edge of Henderson and the Sloan Canyon landscape.
HORIZON CREST PARK
Horizon Crest Park sits closer to the northern Anthem / Green Valley Ranch side.
It includes:
Dog-park facilities.
Open space.
Views.
Neighborhood recreation.
For buyers choosing between:
Green Valley Ranch.
Seven Hills.
Anthem.
this park helps you understand how close some of these communities actually are geographically.
SLOAN CANYON
One of Anthem Highlands’ biggest geographic advantages is proximity to:
SLOAN CANYON.
The Anthem Highlands Community Association specifically highlights its location next to Sloan Canyon and the access that gives residents to hiking and natural desert surroundings.
If you like:
Desert hiking.
Mountain views.
Open land.
living near the edge of development…
this is worth considering.
GOLF
Golf plays a major role in Anthem.
There are two very different golf experiences to understand.
ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB GOLF
The private Anthem Country Club course is:
PAR 72
7,373 YARDS
and was designed by:
Hale Irwin.
Keith Foster.
It runs through natural desert terrain with elevation changes, lakes, mountain views and Las Vegas Valley views.
Again:
PRIVATE CLUB.
Membership should be reviewed separately.
REVERE GOLF CLUB
Anthem Highlands’ own community resources highlight nearby Revere Golf Club, which has two 18-hole championship courses and panoramic valley and mountain views.
This is useful for buyers who like golf but do not necessarily want to purchase inside a private country-club community.
GOLF COURSE HOMES
If you’re shopping a golf-oriented property:
Ask:
Is the home directly on the course?
Which hole?
Front or rear orientation?
Cart path location?
How close is play to the backyard?
What is the view?
A GOLF VIEW CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.
But:
LOT POSITION MATTERS.
SHOPPING & DAILY ERRANDS
Anthem has good access to the retail corridors along:
EASTERN AVENUE
ANTHEM VILLAGE DRIVE
BICENTENNIAL PARKWAY
ST. ROSE PARKWAY
HORIZON RIDGE
These areas provide:
Grocery shopping.
Restaurants.
Coffee.
Pharmacy-type services.
Fitness.
Medical offices.
Everyday retail.
ANTHEM VILLAGE
The Anthem Village Drive area is one of the most useful commercial pockets for daily life.
Anthem Highlands’ own local-amenities page highlights Anthem Highlands Retail Plaza for shopping, dining and fitness.
This is where I would take a relocation buyer after touring homes so they can see:
WHAT DAILY LIFE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.
RESTAURANTS TO TRY
Here are a few useful local options while you’re exploring Anthem.
PROSECCO ITALIAN OSTERIA
Prosecco Italian Osteria
Located on Anthem Village Drive.
A neighborhood Italian restaurant focused on:
Pasta.
Classic Italian dishes.
Panini.
Desserts.
Sit-down dining.
It’s a good option for a relaxed dinner while you’re exploring the Anthem Village area.
REBELLION PIZZA
Rebellion Pizza
Also on Anthem Village Drive.
Known for:
New York-style pizza.
Large slices.
Specialty pies.
Garlic knots.
Casual neighborhood feel.
This is more of an everyday local stop than a resort-style restaurant.
MAHANAKON THAI
Mahanakon Thai
Also located in the Anthem Village area.
A polished neighborhood Thai restaurant with:
Curries.
Pad Thai.
Fried rice.
Stir-fries.
A more sit-down dinner atmosphere.
MINT INDIAN BISTRO
Mint Indian Bistro
Located along South Eastern Avenue.
Known for:
North Indian dishes.
South Indian dishes.
Curries.
Tandoori.
Vegetarian and vegan options.
Lunch buffet.
This is a good example of the larger restaurant selection available just outside Anthem itself.
KAIZEN FUSION ROLL & SUSHI
Kaizen Fusion Roll & Sushi
Located on South Eastern Avenue.
A casual sushi restaurant known for:
All-you-can-eat sushi.
Rolls.
Nigiri.
Japanese hot dishes.
EGG WORKS
Egg Works
A popular breakfast/lunch choice near Anthem.
Useful if you want to:
Grab breakfast.
Then start touring homes.
COFFEE
AWARE COFFEE
Aware Coffee
Located along South Eastern Avenue.
A modern coffee shop with:
Large work-friendly interior.
Communal seating.
Outlets.
Espresso drinks.
If you work remotely, it is a useful spot to know.
LIBRARIES
Anthem does not have a Henderson Libraries branch directly in every individual neighborhood, but the area has access to several branches.
Two of the most relevant are:
WEST HENDERSON LIBRARY
3243 Bicentennial Parkway
and:
PASEO VERDE LIBRARY
280 S. Green Valley Parkway
The City of Henderson currently lists both as part of the Henderson Libraries system.
Which one is more convenient depends on:
Which part of Anthem you live in.
THIS MATTERS BECAUSE ANTHEM IS LARGE.
Living near:
Anthem Country Club
versus:
Anthem Highlands
can mean different daily routes.
COMMUTING
Anthem has good access toward:
Eastern Avenue.
St. Rose Parkway.
I-215.
West Henderson.
Green Valley.
The airport corridor.
The Las Vegas Strip.
But exact commute time depends heavily on:
Which section of Anthem.
Your destination.
Traffic.
Time of day.
TEST YOUR ACTUAL COMMUTE.
Do not buy a house because somebody says:
“EVERYTHING IS 15 MINUTES AWAY.”
Drive:
Home → work.
Home → airport.
Home → grocery.
Home → gym.
ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB’S OWN DIRECTIONS SHOW HOW THE COMMUNITY CONNECTS TO I-215 THROUGH EASTERN AVENUE AND ST. ROSE PARKWAY.
That gives you a good sense of the area’s road network.
ELEVATION & HILLS
Something relocation buyers should notice:
Anthem is not completely flat.
Some streets have:
Significant grades.
Elevated lots.
Hillside positions.
Driveways with slopes.
THAT CAN BE A BENEFIT.
Views.
Privacy.
Topography.
OR A CONSIDERATION.
Walking route.
Cycling.
Driveway.
Lot usability.
WALK THE STREET.
Not just the house.
HOME TYPES IN ANTHEM
The Anthem search can include:
SINGLE-STORY HOMES
TWO-STORY HOMES
LUXURY HOMES
GOLF HOMES
55+ HOMES
ATTACHED HOMES
GUARD-GATED HOMES
POOL HOMES
LARGER RESALE HOMES
VIEW HOMES
NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RESALE?
For the most part:
ANTHEM IS A RESALE MARKET.
The City reported Anthem was approximately 97.7% complete as of January 2025.
That is a major difference from:
Cadence.
Inspirada.
Lake Las Vegas.
THIS MEANS YOU SHOULD EXPECT MORE VARIATION IN CONDITION.
One home may have:
Original kitchen.
Original bathrooms.
Older HVAC.
Original flooring.
Another may have:
Complete remodel.
New HVAC.
New windows.
Pool renovation.
Solar.
Modern kitchen.
DO NOT SHOP ANTHEM BY YEAR BUILT ALONE.
Look at:
WHAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN UPDATED.
SINGLE-STORY HOMES
Anthem is especially worth exploring if single story is a priority.
This is particularly true in:
Sun City Anthem.
Solera.
Certain Anthem Highlands neighborhoods.
Parts of Anthem Country Club.
BUT SINGLE-STORY INVENTORY MAY COMMAND A PREMIUM DEPENDING ON:
Lot.
View.
Community.
Condition.
Size.
[ BUTTON: SEARCH ANTHEM SINGLE-STORY HOMES ]
POOL HOMES
Established resale gives you the opportunity to find:
COMPLETED POOLS.
A resale home may already have:
Pool.
Spa.
Covered patio.
Outdoor kitchen.
Mature landscaping.
THAT IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE FROM BUYING A BRAND-NEW HOME AND BUILDING THE BACKYARD AFTER CLOSING.
But still inspect:
Pool surface.
Pump.
Filter.
Heater.
Automation.
Leaks.
HVAC
This deserves attention in Anthem because much of the housing stock is established.
Ask about:
Age.
Number of units.
Service history.
Recent replacement.
Warranty.
A BEAUTIFUL $1 MILLION HOME CAN STILL HAVE:
THREE AGING HVAC UNITS.
Luxury home does not mean:
Maintenance-free home.
ROOFS
Tile roofing is common.
Inspect:
Underlayment.
Tiles.
Flashing.
Repair history.
Leaks.
SOLAR
Solar may be:
Owned.
Financed.
Leased.
PPA.
Understand:
Monthly payment.
Transfer.
Payoff.
System.
DO NOT ASSUME:
“SOLAR PANELS = PAID OFF.”
LOTS & VIEWS
Lot position can have a major impact in Anthem.
Potential features include:
Strip views.
Mountain views.
Golf frontage.
Elevated lots.
Cul-de-sac.
No rear neighbor.
Larger yard.
A GREAT VIEW CAN BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE PROPERTY.
So when comparing homes:
LOOK OUTSIDE BEFORE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THE KITCHEN.
ANTHEM COUNTRY CLUB LOTS
If shopping inside the Country Club:
Look carefully at:
Golf frontage.
Cart path.
Elevation.
Neighboring homes.
Strip orientation.
Clubhouse proximity.
Gate location.
SUN CITY ANTHEM LOTS
In Sun City Anthem, you may find:
Golf views.
Mountain views.
City views.
Interior residential streets.
Different elevations.
Again:
SAME FLOORPLAN + DIFFERENT LOT = VERY DIFFERENT HOME.
HOA STRUCTURE
Because Anthem contains multiple communities:
HOA FEES VARY.
Do not assume:
One friend’s dues in Sun City Anthem apply to:
Anthem Highlands.
Anthem Country Club.
Solera.
Different communities can have different:
Assessments.
Amenities.
Association structures.
Club obligations.
ALWAYS REVIEW THE SPECIFIC PROPERTY.
55+ RULES
Sun City Anthem and Solera are age-qualified.
If you’re considering either:
Verify:
Occupancy rules.
Guest rules.
Age restrictions.
Rental rules.
Clubhouse use.
DO NOT ASSUME THE RULES ARE IDENTICAL.
