A SMALL INFILL COMMUNITY IN 89113

Ironwood is a small infill subdivision of just over 100 homes by Century Communities in Southwest Las Vegas. The community sits on Agate Avenue in the 89113 zip code, tucked between established neighborhoods, shopping, and easy freeway access.

Every home at Ironwood is two-story. You get to choose from four floor plans ranging from 1,684 to 2,114 square feet, with three to six bedrooms depending on the plan and options. Pricing starts at $495,990 and runs up to about $594,740 on the largest plan.

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

HOA, SID, AND LID EXPLAINED

HOA (Homeowners Association): Century Communities has not published an HOA fee schedule for Ironwood online. Because Ironwood is a small infill community, the HOA is likely modest, but you need confirmed numbers in writing before you sign. Call the sales office at 702-605-1504 or pull a title commitment to get the exact monthly amount and what it covers.

SID (Special Improvement District): A SID is a tax assessment that pays for public infrastructure like roads, sewers, and parks. SIDs show up as a separate line item on your property tax bill. The 89113 zip code is generally outside the SID-heavy zones, but you should still verify with the builder. If a SID exists, it can add $100 to $300+ per month and run for 20 years or more.

LID (Local Improvement District): A LID works like a SID but covers a smaller area. Ask the sales team for any disclosure of SID or LID assessments before you write an offer. Ryan can also help you pull this information during your due diligence period so there are no surprises after closing.

SCHOOLS AND FAMILY LIFE

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

School Grades Rating
Don and Dee Snyder Elementary PK-5 5/10 (GreatSchools)
Lawrence and Heidi Canarelli Middle 6-8 6/10 (GreatSchools)
Sierra Vista High 9-12 3/5 (SchoolDigger)

For family life, Mountain's Edge Regional Park and Exploration Peak Park are nearby for hiking, picnics, and play areas. Red Rock Canyon is about 15 minutes west and is one of the best outdoor escapes in the valley. Many local families also explore charter and magnet school options through CCSD's open enrollment.

AMENITIES AND LIFESTYLE

Ironwood is a small infill community, so there are no internal community amenities like a clubhouse or pool. The trade-off is that you get all of the lifestyle amenities of Southwest Las Vegas within a 5 mile drive.

WITHIN 5 MILES

The UnCommons mixed-use, dining, and retail
Durango Casino and Resort
Mountain's Edge Marketplace
Rhodes Ranch shopping and golf
Smith's, Albertsons, and Sprouts grocery
Mountain's Edge Regional Park

THE UNCOMMONS

One of the newest mixed-use developments in Southwest LV
Modern dining, coffee, and retail
Strong work-from-home and weekend hangout scene
A few minutes from Ironwood

DURANGO CASINO AND RESORT

Station Casinos property opened late 2023
Local favorite for dining and entertainment
Short drive from Ironwood
Gaming, restaurants, and live entertainment

GETTING AROUND

I-215 access about 2 miles away
Las Vegas Strip about 10 miles east
Harry Reid Airport about 12 miles, 15 to 20 minutes
Most of the valley is reachable in 20 minutes or less

Ironwood pulls off a great trade-off. You get a quiet residential street, but you are minutes from new restaurants, retail, and entertainment that did not exist in Southwest Las Vegas five years ago.

CURRENT BUYER INCENTIVES

Century is offering a strong builder incentive on select Ironwood quick move-in homes. Incentives change often, so always confirm with the sales office before you sign.

Up to $50,000 in builder concessions through Inspire Home Loans on select quick move-in homes
Quartz countertops standard throughout
Stainless steel appliances standard in the kitchen
Century Home Connect smart home tech standard on every plan
Designer-coordinated finishes as part of "Everything's Included"

The $50K concession can be applied to closing costs, rate buy-down, or price reduction depending on the home. That kind of flexibility is rare and meaningful, especially with current rates. Verify expiration directly with the sales office.

Pro tip: The $50K incentive is tied to using Inspire Home Loans on a quick move-in home. Even if you plan to shop other lenders, get a quote from Inspire first. You can use it as leverage and the bundled credits often beat rate-only competition.
HOW IRONWOOD COMPARES

Ironwood Century $495,990 1,684-2,114 4 plans, infill, available now
Cambria Bay D.R. Horton From $472K 1,715-1,865 2 plans, similar infill format

Where Ironwood wins: available now, four plan choices in one community, "Everything's Included" pricing, and $50K incentive on QMI homes.

Where it trails: no internal amenities like a clubhouse or pool. If amenities matter to you, Triad Springs or another master-planned community may be a better fit.

THE BUYING PROCESS: 9 STEPS
01
CHOOSE BUILDER AND PLAN
Walk the model homes at 8586 W. Agate Avenue and pick the layout that fits your life.
02
SIGN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Lock in your homesite and plan with a signed contract and earnest money deposit. Have your agent review every page first.
03
SECURE FINANCING
Compare Inspire Home Loans against your own lender. The $50K incentive is tied to Inspire on QMI homes, so weigh the trade-offs.
04
DESIGN CENTER APPOINTMENT
"Everything's Included" means fewer choices to make, but you can still pick paint, tile, and a few key options. Bring your wish list and a budget.
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
Your home is built over several 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 Ironwood. Ryan will walk through final settlement so there are no surprises.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need my own real estate agent at Ironwood?
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 buy-downs through the preferred lender. The current $50K incentive is already strong, so always ask what is on the table when you visit.
What upgrades are worth it at Ironwood?
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 (extra room, expanded primary bath, garage cabinets) and items that are hard to add later. Cosmetic items like paint and lighting can be done after closing.
How long does it take to build a Century Communities home?
Most new construction in Las Vegas takes 6 to 9 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 Ironwood 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. The 89113 zip is generally outside the SID-heavy zones, but you should always verify with the builder before you sign.
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 Ironwood?
Yes. VA and FHA loans are typically accepted on Century Communities homes. The $50K incentive 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.
Why is the $50K Inspire Home Loans incentive only on quick move-ins?
Builders use deeper incentives on standing inventory because those homes have already been built and they want to move them. Quick move-in homes give Century certainty on the closing date, so they pass more savings along to the buyer.
What schools does Ironwood feed?
Don and Dee Snyder Elementary, Lawrence and Heidi Canarelli Middle, and Sierra Vista High. Confirm zoning with CCSD before you sign, since school assignments can change. Charter and magnet options are also available through open enrollment.
READY TO EXPLORE IRONWOOD?

Buying new construction is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. The on-site sales rep works for the builder. I work for you. Reach out and I will help you tour the model homes, compare quick move-ins, and review the contract before you sign. No pressure, just real answers.
