Sun City Anthem is the second-largest Del Webb 55-plus master-planned community in the Las Vegas valley — 7,219 homes on approximately 2,250 acres along the elevated south Henderson hillside, with Revere Golf Club, three resident recreation centers, and the broadest panoramic Las Vegas Strip views of any 55-plus community in southern Nevada. Home prices in 2026 run from approximately $345,000 for entry-tier resale up to over $900,000 for premium hillside homes with the most direct Strip-view orientation. The 2026 buyer-side map of every village section, golf access, recreation centers, HOA structure, and how Sun City Anthem compares head-to-head against Sun City Summerlin and the newer 55-plus alternatives.

Sun City Anthem is the second-largest Del Webb 55-plus master-planned community in the Las Vegas valley — 7,219 homes on approximately 2,250 acres along the elevated south Henderson hillside, immediately west of the broader Anthem master plan. Developed by Del Webb (now Pulte/Del Webb) beginning in 1998 with first closings in 1999, Sun City Anthem reached substantial completion in 2007. The community is anchored by three resident-only recreation centers (Anthem Center, Independence Center, Liberty Center), preferred-access at Revere Golf Club (a 36-hole Billy Casper / Greg Nash co-design immediately adjacent to the master plan), and the broadest panoramic Las Vegas Strip views of any 55-plus community in southern Nevada — a function of the community's hillside elevation between approximately 2,400 and 2,800 feet above sea level along the McCullough Range foothills.

What separates Sun City Anthem from its larger cousin Sun City Summerlin is the Henderson lifestyle profile and the hillside view orientation. Where Sun City Summerlin sits on relatively flat western-valley terrain with the Spring Mountains in the distance, Sun City Anthem is meaningfully elevated and view-oriented — most homes carry at least an indirect view of the Las Vegas Strip skyline, and the most premium hillside lots in Independence Village and Liberty Village offer direct, dramatic Strip-skyline views typically associated with luxury hillside enclaves like MacDonald Highlands. Henderson's top-10 safest-large-cities ranking (per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data) is a meaningful differentiator for 55-plus relocators prioritizing crime statistics. The trade-off is slightly newer construction (1999 to 2007) at higher per-square-foot pricing than the comparably-equipped 1991 to 1999 Sun City Summerlin sections.

This guide is the buyer-side map for Sun City Anthem in 2026: how the community is organized into village sections and price tiers, what Revere Golf Club offers as the de facto resident golf amenity, what the three recreation centers provide, how the resident club calendar works in practice, what HOA dues run, what the resale market is doing in 2026, and how the community compares head-to-head against Sun City Summerlin and the newer 55-plus alternatives. Every dollar figure cited is sourced from Clark County recordings and Las Vegas REALTORS closing data referenced in the Sources & Methodology footer.

Sun City Anthem is the second-largest Del Webb 55-plus master-planned community in the Las Vegas valley — 7,219 homes on approximately 2,250 acres along the elevated south Henderson hillside, developed beginning in 1998 with substantial completion by 2007. The community contains three resident-only recreation centers (Anthem Center, Independence Center, Liberty Center), preferred-access at Revere Golf Club (a 36-hole Billy Casper / Greg Nash co-design), and the broadest panoramic Las Vegas Strip views of any 55-plus community in southern Nevada. Home prices in 2026 run from approximately $345,000 for entry-tier resale up to over $900,000 for premium hillside homes with direct Strip-view orientation, with the median 2026 closing around $525,000. HOA dues run approximately $135 to $245 per month depending on section. At least one resident per home must be 55 or older. The drive to the Las Vegas Strip is approximately 15 to 22 minutes via I-215 and I-15.

  • Sun City Anthem contains 7,219 homes on approximately 2,250 acres in south Henderson — the second-largest 55-plus master plan in the Las Vegas valley by lot count.
  • Revere Golf Club (Lexington and Concord 18-hole courses, Billy Casper / Greg Nash co-design) is the de facto resident golf amenity immediately adjacent to the master plan.
  • Three resident-only recreation centers anchor the amenity profile: Anthem Center (77,000-square-foot main), Independence Center, and Liberty Center.
  • The hillside elevation (2,400 to 2,800 feet) gives most homes at least an indirect Las Vegas Strip view and the most premium lots direct Strip-skyline orientation.
  • Home prices in 2026 run from approximately $345,000 for entry-tier resale up to over $900,000 for premium hillside homes; median closing approximately $525,000.
  • HOA dues run approximately $135 to $245 per month — meaningfully lower than newer luxury 55-plus alternatives.
  • Henderson consistently ranks among the top 10 safest large cities in America, a meaningful differentiator for 55-plus relocators prioritizing crime statistics.

What exactly is Sun City Anthem in 2026?

Sun City Anthem is an age-restricted (55-plus) master-planned active-adult community on the elevated south Henderson hillside, immediately west of the broader Anthem master plan and approximately 4 miles south of the I-215 Beltway. The total footprint covers approximately 2,250 acres with 7,219 single-family homes across roughly 35 named village sections developed in sequential phases between 1999 and 2007. The community is fully built-out with no remaining master-developer new construction — all 2026 activity is resale, with occasional teardown-rebuild on premium hillside lots.

According to Sun City Anthem Community Association published documents, the community contains three resident-only recreation centers (Anthem Center, Independence Center, Liberty Center), nine outdoor swimming pools across the centers, three indoor swimming pools, three full fitness facilities, 10 pickleball courts, 14 tennis courts, four bocce courts, two softball fields, and a full restaurant (the Anthem Center's Sandstone Cafe). The community sits inside Henderson city limits, served by Henderson Police, Henderson Fire & Rescue, and (for visiting grandchildren) the Clark County School District.

Where is Sun City Anthem and why does the Henderson hillside positioning matter?

Sun City Anthem sits along the eastern foothills of the McCullough Range in south Henderson, bounded by Anthem Parkway to the east (which becomes the entrance corridor to the broader Anthem master plan), Eastern Avenue to the west, and the open desert hillside on the south. The community is reached via I-215 east, exit Eastern Avenue south, then continuing 3 to 4 miles into the hillside. The hillside elevation ranges from approximately 2,400 feet at the northern edge to 2,800 feet at the most elevated southern parcels — a meaningful 400-foot vertical span across the community that produces distinct view tiers between flat-interior sections and the most premium hillside lots.

The drive to the Las Vegas Strip from Sun City Anthem runs approximately 15 to 22 minutes during off-peak hours via Eastern Avenue, I-215 west, and I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 15 to 19 minutes via the same corridor. This positions Sun City Anthem meaningfully closer to both the Strip and the airport than Sun City Summerlin (which sits 18 to 22 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and US-95) — a real practical advantage for active-adult buyers who travel frequently or want quick downtown Strip and Smith Center access. According to recent Henderson traffic studies, Eastern Avenue between Sun City Anthem and the I-215 interchange handles approximately 38,000 daily vehicle trips with relatively low congestion versus the more heavily-trafficked west-valley corridors.

Sun City Anthem spans approximately 2,250 acres on the elevated south Henderson hillside — 7,219 homes built between 1999 and 2007 along a 400-foot vertical span from 2,400 to 2,800 feet elevation.

What sub-village sections make up Sun City Anthem?

Sun City Anthem is organized internally into approximately 35 named village sections, each developed in a specific Del Webb building phase between 1999 and 2007. Unlike a typical master plan where named sub-villages have distinct architectural character, Sun City Anthem's sections share the same general Mediterranean and Tuscan vocabulary throughout — the variation is primarily floor plan size, lot orientation (premium-view hillside versus flat-interior), and vintage (early-phase 1999 to 2002 versus later-phase 2004 to 2007 with slightly larger floor plans and more current interior finishes at original build).

The table below summarizes the broad section tiers, their approximate 2026 price ranges, and characteristic notes. Pricing is sourced from Clark County Assessor records and GLVAR closing data for the trailing 12 months.

Across all section tiers, the median 2026 closed sale at Sun City Anthem runs approximately $525,000 per LVR data — meaningfully above Sun City Summerlin's median of approximately $475,000 (a function of the slightly newer construction vintage and the hillside view orientation that adds premium value to most sections). The luxury tier (closings above $700,000) represents approximately 18 percent of transaction count but approximately 32 percent of total dollar volume across the community.

What is Revere Golf Club and how does it serve residents?

Revere Golf Club is the 36-hole golf facility immediately adjacent to Sun City Anthem — a Billy Casper / Greg Nash co-design that opened in 1999 and 2002 as the resident-preferred golf amenity for the master plan. Revere operates as a daily-fee public-access facility, with two 18-hole courses: the Lexington Course (opened 1999, designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash) and the Concord Course (opened 2002, designed by Greg Nash). Both courses route through the McCullough Range foothills with elevation change and Strip-view orientation on multiple holes.

According to published Revere Golf Club rate sheets, daily greens fees for Sun City Anthem residents run approximately $55 to $95 depending on season and course — a discounted resident rate from the standard non-resident rate of approximately $95 to $145. Annual unlimited-play golf memberships are available for residents at approximately $3,800 to $5,400 annually depending on category. Revere is generally considered one of the best-conditioned daily-fee public courses in the broader Las Vegas valley, with the Concord Course in particular rated among the top 25 publicly accessible courses in southern Nevada by Golfweek state-ranking publications.

The structural difference from Sun City Summerlin is important: where Sun City Summerlin operates three golf courses inside its own master plan under the community association, Sun City Anthem residents have preferred access to Revere's two adjacent courses that are independently operated. For buyers who specifically want golf inside the gates (rather than next door), Sun City Summerlin is the structurally cleaner answer. For buyers who value the broader Henderson lifestyle and hillside view orientation more than internal-gates golf, Sun City Anthem is the better fit.

What are the three recreation centers at Sun City Anthem?

Sun City Anthem operates three resident-only recreation centers distributed across the master plan. The three centers are:

Anthem Center — The 77,000-square-foot main community center at the heart of the master plan. Anthem Center includes a 25-meter outdoor lap pool, indoor pool, full fitness facility, dance studios, art and ceramics studios, billiards room, library, business center, and the Sandstone Cafe (the only full-service restaurant inside Sun City Anthem). Anthem Center hosts the largest concentration of resident-club meetings and is the venue for most community-wide events.

Independence Center — A 36,000-square-foot satellite center built in 2003 to serve the central village sections as the community expanded toward Liberty Village. Independence Center includes an outdoor pool, indoor pool, fitness facility, and the most heavily-used pickleball complex (six dedicated courts). Independence Center is generally the busiest pickleball venue inside the master plan and hosts the Sun City Anthem Pickleball Club's organized leagues.

Liberty Center — A 28,000-square-foot satellite center built in 2006 to serve the later-phase southern village sections at full community build-out. Liberty Center includes an outdoor pool, indoor pool, fitness facility, multipurpose rooms, and the most-used outdoor tennis complex (eight courts with lighting). Liberty Center hosts the Sun City Anthem Tennis Club and most outdoor tennis tournaments.

Independence Center anchors the busiest pickleball complex inside Sun City Anthem — six dedicated courts with organized league play across multiple resident skill levels.

What clubs and activities make the lifestyle work at Sun City Anthem?

Sun City Anthem runs approximately 75 organized resident clubs — close to but slightly below the 80-plus club count at Sun City Summerlin. The club calendar spans the same broad categories: sports (pickleball, tennis, golf leagues, bocce, billiards, softball), arts and crafts (ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture, woodworking, stained glass), performing arts (drama, dance, chorus, ukulele), social and cultural (book clubs, travel clubs, current-events discussion, ethnic and cultural groups), charitable and civic (multiple food-bank and veterans' partnerships), educational (technology, investing, language learning), and special interest (ham radio, astronomy, model railroad).

The pickleball program at Independence Center is generally considered comparable in quality to Sun City Summerlin's Sun Shadows complex — six dedicated courts, multiple skill-level ladder leagues, regular round-robin events, and visiting-clinic instruction. The Anthem Center's Sandstone Cafe is a real lifestyle differentiator — it serves as a daily resident gathering point for breakfast, lunch, and (Friday/Saturday) dinner service, with a community-room concept that no other Las Vegas-area 55-plus community matches at the same in-amenity scale. According to recent association calendars, Sun City Anthem hosts approximately 1,200 organized resident-club meetings annually across the three centers, plus the broader community-wide events at Anthem Center.

What HOA dues should buyers expect at Sun City Anthem?

HOA dues at Sun City Anthem run approximately $135 to $245 per month depending on section and any special-assessment tier. The base Sun City Anthem Community Association fee is approximately $135 per month as of 2026 — funding the three recreation centers, the master-plan landscaping, the security patrol, the architectural review, the club program operating support, and reserve-fund contributions. Sections with premium hillside view orientation or larger lot specifications carry a modest additional fee.

The table below summarizes approximate combined HOA monthly cost by section tier. Verify current fees with the Sun City Anthem Community Association before purchase, as these are subject to change.

Approximate combined monthly HOA cost by Sun City Anthem section tier in 2026 — base community association fee plus any sub-section assessments; verify with the management company before purchase.
Section tierApproximate monthly HOA (2026)
Base CA fee (all residents)$135 (community-wide)
Premium hillside Strip-view$185 to $245 combined
Independence Village$155 to $205 combined
Liberty Village$155 to $205 combined
Mountain-view orientation$145 to $195 combined
Established 2002-2004$135 to $175 combined
Established 1999-2001$135 to $165 combined
Custom-build hillside$195 to $245 combined

Note that Revere golf greens fees are not included in HOA dues — residents pay daily-fee resident rates ($55 to $95) at the pro shop unless they hold an annual unlimited-play membership ($3,800 to $5,400). The HOA carrying cost at Sun City Anthem is meaningfully lower than newer luxury 55-plus alternatives like Trilogy at Summerlin ($315 to $445 monthly) or Stonebridge 55-plus product ($285 to $395 monthly) — a function of the amortized infrastructure of a 25-year-old master plan and the larger 7,219-home base spreading the fixed-cost overhead.

Which schools matter for 55-plus buyers with visiting grandkids?

Sun City Anthem is age-restricted (55-plus primary, no permanent residents under 19), so public school assignments are not the typical purchase consideration that they are at family master plans like Centennial Hills or Inspirada. For households expecting frequent grandchild visits, the relevant feeder pattern is the broader south Henderson school cluster — primarily Vanderburg Elementary (8 out of 10 GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (7 out of 10), and Coronado High School (6 out of 10).

According to the Sun City Anthem Community Association published policy, temporary visits by grandchildren (typically defined as visits of less than 30 days) are permitted without restriction, and many residents host grandchildren for summer multi-week visits. Permanent residency by a person under 19 is not permitted under the community's age-restriction policy. For 55-plus households expecting longer-term temporary stays (job transfer, medical emergency, summer-school sessions), work directly with the community association to confirm the specific timeframe and documentation requirements. Henderson International School (PreK through 8) and Bishop Gorman High School (the elite Catholic high school in west Las Vegas, approximately 30 minutes via I-215 and I-15) are the leading private school options for hosted grandchildren during multi-week visits.

What is the resale market like at Sun City Anthem in 2026?

According to LVR (Las Vegas REALTORS) closing data for the trailing 12 months, Sun City Anthem recorded approximately 548 closed single-family transactions with a median closed price of approximately $525,000 and a median days-on-market of 32 days. The luxury tier — closings above $700,000 — represented approximately 18 percent of transaction count but approximately 32 percent of total dollar volume. Median price per square foot across the community ran approximately $265 to $345 depending on section, with the premium hillside Strip-view sections trading at $375 to $465 per square foot.

Resale demand at Sun City Anthem has stayed steady through 2026, driven by the same out-of-state retiree-relocator demand that supports Sun City Summerlin, plus an additional layer of California-relocator demand specifically targeting the Henderson safety profile. According to recent Clark County Assessor data, approximately 42 percent of Sun City Anthem 2026 closings involved out-of-state buyers — comparable to Sun City Summerlin's 38 percent and meaningfully above the broader Henderson market share of approximately 26 percent. The premium hillside Strip-view tier has been especially resilient, with average price-per-square-foot above $390 for most 2026 closings. Inventory across the community stood at approximately 164 active listings at the time of writing.

The hillside elevation gives Sun City Anthem the broadest panoramic Strip views of any 55-plus community in southern Nevada — most premium hillside lots in Independence and Liberty Villages have direct Strip-skyline orientation.

How does Sun City Anthem compare to Sun City Summerlin and other 55-plus options?

Sun City Anthem competes most directly with Sun City Summerlin at the broad-scale tier and with Trilogy at Summerlin, Heritage at Stonebridge, Trilogy Sunstone (Skye Canyon), and Sun City Aliante at the smaller-scale newer-build tier. The table below summarizes the head-to-head comparison against the two largest active-adult anchors.

Best forHenderson preference, hillside views, newer constructionLargest scale, three-course golf inside gates, lowest entryNewest construction, smaller scale

In rough generalization: Sun City Anthem wins on Henderson lifestyle, hillside Strip views, and slightly newer construction — the choice for relocators who specifically prefer Henderson's safety ranking and want a hillside view orientation. Sun City Summerlin wins on scale, three-course golf inside the gates, and lowest entry pricing — the choice for retiree-relocators prioritizing the original Del Webb Sun City brand and inside-the-gates golf. Trilogy at Summerlin wins on new-construction polish at meaningfully higher HOA. See the Sun City Summerlin guide and the complete Las Vegas 55-plus communities guide for the full comparison across all the major active-adult options in the valley.

What is the age-restriction policy and how is it enforced?

Sun City Anthem operates under the federal HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act) framework, which permits age-restricted housing where at least 80 percent of residences are occupied by at least one person 55 or older. The Sun City Anthem Community Association's published policy is more restrictive than the federal minimum: at least one resident per home must be 55 or older, no permanent residents under 19 are permitted, and any secondary residents (a spouse, partner, or co-occupant of a 55-plus primary) must be 40 or older. Temporary grandchild visits and guest stays under 30 days are permitted without restriction.

Enforcement is administered by the community association through the standard purchase-application process — buyers submit age verification documents (driver's license, passport, or other government ID) at the time of resale closing, and the association tracks the age composition of the community on a rolling basis to ensure HOPA compliance. According to recent association documents, Sun City Anthem has maintained the over-80-percent 55-plus occupancy threshold consistently since the community opened in 1999.

What lifestyle amenities are available beyond golf and recreation centers?

Beyond the three recreation centers and the adjacent Revere Golf Club, Sun City Anthem residents have access to a meaningful Henderson amenity profile. The District at Green Valley Ranch (approximately 12 minutes north via Eastern Avenue and I-215) is the dominant open-air shopping and dining destination in Henderson with approximately 60 retail and dining tenants. Anthem Highlands shopping at the entrance to the broader Anthem master plan provides daily-life retail approximately 5 minutes from the Sun City Anthem entrance. St. Rose Dominican Hospital (the largest medical campus in south Henderson) is approximately 9 minutes via Eastern Avenue.

Healthcare access is a meaningful differentiator for 55-plus buyers. The St. Rose Dominican Hospital Henderson campus is a 165-bed full-service hospital with emergency services, surgical services, cardiology, oncology, and outpatient diagnostics. Together with the broader Henderson medical campus profile — including the Henderson Hospital expansion that opened in 2018 — south Henderson now offers one of the deeper healthcare clusters in the Las Vegas valley, with multiple full-service hospital campuses within 15 minutes of the Sun City Anthem entrance. For 55-plus relocators specifically prioritizing healthcare proximity, the Henderson medical campus profile is a meaningful advantage versus more remote 55-plus alternatives.

Three full fitness facilities anchor the active-adult lifestyle profile — Anthem Center's 77,000-square-foot main facility plus satellite fitness rooms at Independence and Liberty Centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the full price range across Sun City Anthem in 2026?

Approximately $345,000 for entry-tier resale on the earliest 1999-2001 phases up to over $900,000 for the most premium hillside Strip-view homes in Independence and Liberty Villages. The median 2026 closing sits at approximately $525,000 per LVR data, with the luxury tier above $700,000 representing approximately 18 percent of transaction count and 32 percent of total dollar volume.

Does Sun City Anthem have golf inside the community?

No. Sun City Anthem residents have preferred access at the adjacent Revere Golf Club — two 18-hole courses (Lexington and Concord) designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash. Revere operates as a daily-fee public-access facility with discounted resident greens fees ($55 to $95 depending on season and course). For buyers who specifically want golf inside the master plan gates, Sun City Summerlin's three-course in-gates structure is the cleaner answer.

How does Sun City Anthem HOA compare to Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Anthem HOA runs approximately $135 to $245 monthly — slightly above Sun City Summerlin's $130 to $215 range at equivalent section tiers. The difference reflects the slightly newer construction vintage (1999-2007 versus 1991-1999), the hillside infrastructure (retaining walls, elevation-driven roadway maintenance), and the slightly smaller home base spreading fixed-cost overhead.

What is the hillside Strip view tier worth at Sun City Anthem?

The premium hillside Strip-view homes in Independence and Liberty Villages command roughly a 25 to 35 percent price premium per square foot over equivalent flat-interior sections — approximately $375 to $465 per square foot versus the $265 to $345 community-wide average. For relocators specifically buying for the view, the premium is well-supported by the resale data; for buyers who don't prioritize the view, the established interior sections offer meaningfully better dollar-per-square-foot value.

What is the age-restriction policy at Sun City Anthem?

At least one resident per home must be 55 or older. Secondary residents (co-occupants) must be 40 or older. No permanent residents under 19 are permitted. Temporary grandchild visits and guest stays under 30 days are permitted. The community operates under the federal HOPA framework, with the association maintaining over 80 percent 55-plus occupancy continuously since 1999.

Is Sun City Anthem actually in the broader Anthem master plan?

No. Despite the name, Sun City Anthem is a distinct master-planned community immediately adjacent to (but separate from) the broader Anthem master plan that contains Anthem Country Club, Sun City Anthem's eastern neighbor. The two communities share the Anthem branding because both were developed by entities associated with American Nevada Corporation and Del Webb during overlapping mid-1990s entitlements, but they operate as independent master plans with separate community associations.

How long is the commute from Sun City Anthem to the Strip and the airport?

The drive to the Las Vegas Strip runs approximately 15 to 22 minutes via I-215 west and I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 15 to 19 minutes via the same I-215 corridor. Sun City Anthem is meaningfully closer to both the Strip and the airport than Sun City Summerlin (18 to 22 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and US-95) — a real advantage for active-adult buyers who travel frequently or value quick downtown access.
