Estimated Total Per Month

These numbers are estimates only. Your actual payment will depend on your loan terms, credit score, down payment, and the final HOA and LID assessment for your specific homesite. Always get a real quote from a lender before you sign.

HOA, SID, AND LID EXPLAINED

Master HOA, Lake Las Vegas Master Association. Every home in Lake Las Vegas pays into the master HOA. Dues are $459 per quarter, which works out to $153 per month. The master fee covers lake maintenance, walking trails, landscaping, security patrol, and community events.

Sub-HOA, The Bluffs. On top of the master, The Bluffs neighborhood has its own sub-HOA at about $244 per month per public Bluffs I listings. The Bluffs II sits under the same sub-association, so plan for a similar number. Combined, that puts most Bluffs II owners around $397 per month in HOA dues. Confirm the exact figure with the sales office at 702-789-6322 before you sign.

LID (Local Improvement District). Lake Las Vegas properties may carry an LID assessment that pays for public infrastructure like roads and utilities. It shows up on your property tax bill. The amount varies by parcel. Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas, for reference, runs about $85 per month. Some Lake Las Vegas parcels have had LID balances paid off by builders, so always verify with the sales rep and pull an APN-specific lookup at amgnv.com or the City of Henderson Finance Department.

Transfer fee. Lake Las Vegas transfer fees range from $200 up to about 2% of purchase price depending on the neighborhood and timing. Bluffs-specific transfer fee is not yet posted on builder marketing. Verify at closing.

SCHOOLS AND FAMILY LIFE

The Bluffs II is zoned for the Clark County School District (CCSD). Here are the assigned schools:

Josh Stevens Elementary
K-5, ~2 miles, 550 Dave Wood Cir, Henderson
CCSD
B. Mahlon Brown Academy of International Studies

Always confirm zoning with CCSD directly, since assignments can change. Pull current GreatSchools or Niche ratings before you make a decision.

AMENITIES AND LIFESTYLE

The Bluffs II is gated, with walking and biking trails inside the neighborhood and canyon or lake views from select homesites. The bigger story is full access to the Lake Las Vegas master amenity package, which is what makes this address feel less like a subdivision and more like a resort.

LAKE LAS VEGAS MASTER ACCESS

  • 320 acre lake with marina and electric boat cruises
  • Reflection Bay private white-sand beach
  • Reflection Bay Golf Club, Jack Nicklaus Signature
  • SouthShore Golf Club, members only

  • Sports club with tennis, fitness, yoga
  • Paddleboarding and kayak rentals

REFLECTION BAY GOLF CLUB

HEALTHCARE NEARBY

  • Multiple urgent cares on Lake Mead Pkwy
  • Dignity Health and Southwest Medical close by

GETTING AROUND

  • I-215 Beltway about 3 miles via Lake Mead Pkwy
  • Las Vegas Strip about 20 to 25 miles, ~25 minutes
  • Harry Reid Airport about 20 miles, 20 to 25 minutes
  • Hoover Dam and Boulder City via US-93 nearby

Lake Las Vegas pulls off a rare trade-off. You get a quiet, gated single story home, but you are minutes from a lake, two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, a waterfront village, and a 34 mile loop trail.

CURRENT BUYER INCENTIVES

Century rotates incentives at The Bluffs II often. Programs change, so always confirm with the sales office before you sign. Recent and current programs include:

  • Inspire Home Loans rate buydowns through Century's preferred lender, often combined with closing cost credits
  • "Dirt Start Campaign" historically offered through April 30, 2026 with savings on to-be-built homes
  • "YES! LIVES HERE." sales event previously offered a 30-Year 5/1 ARM at 3.75% Years 1-5 plus closing cost credits on FHA/VA
  • "Everything's Included": quartz, stainless steel appliances, designer-coordinated finishes
  • Three architectural elevations at no upcharge: Spanish Modern, Desert Contemporary, Northern Italian

The biggest savings at Lake Las Vegas usually sit on quick move-in homes, where Century needs to move standing inventory. Verify expiration directly with the sales office before you write an offer.

Pro tip: Get a quote from Inspire Home Loans first, then shop your own lender. Builder bundled credits and rate buydowns often beat rate-only competition, especially on quick move-in homes. Compare full closing cost numbers, not just rate.

Community Builder Starting Sq Ft HOA Hook
The Bluffs II Century $512,990 1,863-2,301 ~$397 Single story, lake views, full LLV access
The Bluffs I Century $465,990 1,663-1,831 ~$397 Smaller sister phase next door

Del Webb LLV Pulte $399,000 1,285-2,736+ ~$438 55+ active adult, clubhouse

Where The Bluffs II wins: the only single story, mid $500s, all-ages new construction inside Lake Las Vegas. Lowest combined HOA among full-amenity options in the comparison. Brand new product on view lots.

THE BUYING PROCESS: 9 STEPS
01
CHOOSE BUILDER AND PLAN
Walk the model home at 128 Barkset Way and pick the layout, elevation, and lot that fits your life. Reach out before you tour so you have an agent in your corner from step one.
02
SIGN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Lock in your homesite and plan with a signed contract and earnest money deposit. Have your agent review every page and the HOA disclosures first.
03
SECURE FINANCING
Compare Inspire Home Loans against your own lender. Builder rate buydowns can be strong, so get both quotes side by side before you commit.
04
DESIGN CENTER APPOINTMENT
"Everything's Included" means fewer choices to make, but you still pick paint, tile, cabinetry, and key options. Bring a wish list and a budget cap.
05
PRE-DRYWALL INSPECTION
A pre-drywall inspection runs about $200 to $400 and is highly recommended. It catches framing, plumbing, and electrical issues while everything is still visible.
06
CONSTRUCTION UPDATES
Build time at The Bluffs II runs about 5 to 7 months. Expect updates at framing, drywall, and finish stages. Stay in touch with your construction manager.
07
BLUE TAPE WALKTHROUGH
Walk the home with the builder before closing. Tape any cosmetic issues like paint touch-ups, scratches, or trim gaps so they get fixed.
08
FINAL INSPECTION
A third-party final inspection runs $310 to $730 and is worth every penny. Do not skip this step. It catches issues the builder may miss.
09
CLOSING DAY
Sign your final paperwork, get your keys, and welcome to The Bluffs II. Ryan will walk through final settlement so there are no surprises.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need my own real estate agent at The Bluffs II?
Yes, and it costs you nothing. The builder pays the agent's commission. The on-site sales rep works for Century Communities, not for you. Having your own agent gives you someone whose only job is to look out for your interests during contract review, inspections, and negotiations on extras.
Can I negotiate with the builder?
Builders rarely lower the base price because it affects comps for the rest of the community. You can usually negotiate for closing cost credits, design center upgrades, or rate buydowns through the preferred lender. Always ask what is on the table when you visit, programs change month to month at Lake Las Vegas.
What upgrades are worth it at The Bluffs II?
Because Century follows an "Everything's Included" model, much of what other builders charge for is already standard. The upgrades that still make sense are anything structural (extended primary bath, garage cabinets, a third bay or larger pad) and items that are hard to add later. View-lot premiums also matter at Lake Las Vegas, since the canyon and lake views are the main reason most buyers pay the Lake Las Vegas premium.
How long does it take to build a Bluffs II home?
Most to-be-built homes at The Bluffs II take about 5 to 7 months from contract to close. Quick move-in homes already under construction can be ready in 30 to 60 days, which is also where the strongest incentives often sit.
What is a SID or LID and does Lake Las Vegas have one?
A SID or LID is a tax assessment that pays for public infrastructure like roads and sewers. It shows up on your property tax bill and can run for 20+ years. Lake Las Vegas properties can carry an LID, but the amount varies by parcel. Always pull an APN-specific LID lookup at amgnv.com or City of Henderson Finance during your due diligence.
What does the Nevada 1-2-10 warranty cover?
Most new homes in Nevada come with a 1-2-10 warranty: 1 year on workmanship, 2 years on systems like plumbing and electrical, and 10 years on major structural components. Ask Century for the exact warranty document so you know what is covered.
Can I use VA or FHA at The Bluffs II?
Yes. VA and FHA loans are typically accepted on Century Communities homes. The current incentives may have different terms depending on loan type, so ask Inspire Home Loans about how each program stacks with the offer.
What if construction is delayed?
Delays happen, especially with weather or supply chain issues. Your purchase agreement will spell out how delays are handled and what your options are. Read this section carefully and ask your agent to explain anything that is unclear.
Is The Bluffs II a 55+ community?
No. The Bluffs II is all-ages. If you want a 55+ active adult community inside Lake Las Vegas with a private clubhouse and pickleball, look at Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas instead.
What schools does The Bluffs II feed?
Josh Stevens Elementary (K-5), B. Mahlon Brown Academy of International Studies (6-8, IB), and Basic Academy of International Studies (9-12, IB World School / magnet). Confirm zoning with CCSD before you sign, since assignments can change. Charter and private options like Coral Academy and Pinecrest Cadence are also nearby.
READY TO EXPLORE THE BLUFFS II?
