What is Calico Ridge Henderson Nevada? Complete Community Guide

If you've been researching Henderson neighborhoods, you've probably stumbled across Calico Ridge and wondered what the deal is. It's not as widely talked about as Anthem or Green Valley Ranch, but that's actually part of its charm.

Where Exactly is Calico Ridge?

Calico Ridge sits in southeast Henderson at the base of the River Mountain Range. You're about 3 miles from Lake Las Vegas, 15 minutes from Lake Mead, and the Clark County Wetlands Park is practically in your backyard. The community spans ZIP codes 89011 and 89015.

For commuters, you're looking at about 20 minutes to the Strip and roughly 25 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport.

What Makes Calico Ridge Different?

First, the lots. Most homes sit on quarter to third-acre parcels. That's significantly larger than newer master-planned communities where builders squeeze houses onto 4,000 square foot lots. You actually have a yard here.

Second, these are custom Mediterranean-style homes built primarily in the late 1990s through early 2000s. Established landscaping, mature trees, and architecture with actual character. No two homes look identical.

Third, the views. Many properties offer unobstructed sightlines to the Las Vegas Strip, the surrounding mountains, or both.

The median sale price currently hovers around $602,000 to $673,000, with price per square foot ranging from $273 to $297.

The HOA Situation

The Monument at Calico Ridge shopping center opened recently with restaurants including Giuseppe's and a Spanish steakhouse.
