New Construction Homes in Henderson

Most new homes in Henderson are being built in five master plans: Cadence in east Henderson off Lake Mead Parkway, Inspirada in southwest Henderson, KB Home's Meriden, Pulte's new Aries, and Lennar's Black Mountain Ranch. Cadence is the biggest, with 2,200 acres and up to 12,250 homes planned. Eleven builders are active, led by KB Home, Lennar, and Woodside. Published starting prices on October 9, 2026 run from $316,990 for a KB Home townhome at Meriden to $656,990 at Lennar's Lucere Square in Inspirada. Inspirada is closing out, so choices there are shrinking. One tip: the Cadence FAQ says Cadence has no SID or LID fees, but that is not true of every Henderson home, so check the exact parcel.

What do new homes cost in Henderson?

Published starting prices run from $316,990 to $656,990 for production homes. Cadence describes its own range as the $300,000s to the $700,000s.

Three things move the price the most. First is the type of home, since a Meriden townhome and a 3,000 square foot Lucere Square home are different products. Second is the master plan. Inspirada's last homes are priced above most of Cadence, Meriden, and Aries. Third is the lot. KB Home notes that a homesite premium may apply at every Henderson neighborhood, and its prices do not include HOA.

At the top of the market, MacDonald Highlands sells hillside custom and spec homes. Those prices are not published the same way, so ask for current homes.

What will you pay each month on top of the mortgage?

Plan for a master HOA, often a neighborhood HOA, property tax, and in some parts of Henderson a local improvement district payment. Here is what we could confirm.

The Cadence FAQ is clear that Cadence has no SID or LID fees. You may still read blogs that quote SID or LID ranges for Cadence, but those do not match the master plan's own answer. Other parts of Henderson can be a different story. The City of Henderson bills its LIDs through Assessment Management Group, and a balance can pass to the buyer when a home sells. Before you sign, ask for the LID status on the exact parcel.

Cadence's FAQ also says Henderson has the lowest tax rate in the Las Vegas Valley. That is the developer's claim, so check the rate on your parcel with the county.

Which schools serve the new Henderson neighborhoods?

Builders list these schools for their neighborhoods. We have not checked them against CCSD's zoning search, so treat them as a starting point.

Cadence's own school page lists choice options near the community: Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas, which opened a Pre-K to 12 charter campus in Cadence for the 2022 to 2023 school year, plus Pinecrest Academy, Legacy Traditional School, and Lake Mead Christian Academy. For a closer look at zones, see school zones for Henderson new construction.

Where are the new Henderson neighborhoods, and what is close by?

All of the neighborhoods on this page are in the City of Henderson. Cadence is on the east side, Inspirada is in the southwest, and Meriden sits near I-11 and I-215.

• Cadence: off Lake Mead Parkway. Cadence says it is minutes from Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Harry Reid International Airport, and the Strip.
• Cadence parks: a Central Park of nearly 50 acres with two amphitheaters, splash pads, and pickleball, a 100-acre sports park, 10 neighborhood parks, and nearly 450 acres of open space. The Central Park Pool is open May 1 to October 31.
• Near Cadence: the Water Street District, Galleria at Sunset, Cowabunga Bay, America First Center, and the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve.
• Meriden: KB Home points to quick access to Interstates 11 and 215.
• Black Mountain Ranch: Lennar says Las Vegas is 15 miles away.
• Inspirada: the Solista Community Center, the Toll Brothers Clubhouse, and weekly community events.

Drive times change a lot by time of day. If a commute matters, test it at rush hour before you pick a lot.

What should you know before buying new in Henderson?

Henderson has good choices at many price points, but a few things catch new buyers off guard.

• Check the price date. Prices move. Between September 16 and October 9, 2026, KB Home cut its Meriden starts by up to $10,000 and Toll Brothers lowered Amiata by $10,000. Ask the builder for a dated price sheet.
• Closeouts move fast. Inspirada neighborhoods carry Last Chance and Final Opportunity badges, and Lennar marks Black Mountain Ranch Last Chance. Since September, D.R. Horton's Symmetry Summit II and Tri Pointe's Highview have sold out.
• Ask about stairs. Avenues and Peaks at Meriden are three-story plans, and Midtown in Cadence has three-story plans too.
• Budget for the lot. KB Home says a homesite premium may apply at every Henderson neighborhood.
• Get every fee. Cadence has sub-associations, and some townhome and condo neighborhoods can add non-HOA assessments.
• Plan the pool. In Cadence, a backyard pool needs Design Review Committee approval.
• Know your neighbors. Cadence includes build-to-rent operators such as American Homes 4 Rent and Elysian Homes.
• Check the address. Builder sites label some Lake Las Vegas homes as Henderson. Those are on my separate Lake Las Vegas page.

Why bring your own agent to a Henderson model home?

The friendly person at the sales desk works for the builder. Their job is to sell that builder's homes at that builder's price.

In Henderson you might be comparing a KB Home townhome at Meriden, a Pulte home at Aries, and a Lennar home in Inspirada, each with different lot premiums, HOAs, and assessments. Having someone on your side who lines those up costs you nothing, because the builder pays the buyer agent commission either way. The one rule: most builders require your agent to be registered on your very first visit. Here is what having your own agent actually changes.
