Sun City Anthem is the newest of all the Sun City retirement communities in Las Vegas and the largest projected age restricted community in this area with an anticipated build-out at over 6,300 homes. As of Oct. 2002 over 4,000 homes have been built. It is located in the southeast, in Henderson, south of Lake Mead Blvd and straight up Eastern Ave (south). Homes range from just under 1100 sq. ft. over 3,000. Base prices range from the mid 140's. Through Del Webb's "Gold Key" program homes may be customized in many ways including to even larger sizes. Amenities include one very large community center (see bottom two pictures above), two completed golf courses and tennis courts. More facilities will be added as the community continues to grow. The golf courses are not owned by the homeowners, but green fees for residents are less than for the general public and residents have a priority on tee times. Construction of homes and facilities will continue for several years to come. Infrastructure is developing, especially along Eastern. This includes a recently completed Henderson St. Rose Dominican Hospital. 

Note: Originally planned to include over 9,000 homes and 3 golf courses, the new development plan will be for 6,300 homes with 2 golf courses. 
The 75,000 sq. ft. community center is in place, with one additional 10,000 center to be built per the current plans. The land freed up by this downsizing will be used to build a separate new smaller age restricted community as well as some non age restricted housing.

Siena is a 665-acre active adult community village being developed by Sunrise Colony Company for individuals ages 50+. The village will feature 1,900 luxury single-story homes including villas, an 18-hole golf course designed by Schmidt-Curley of Scottsdale, Arizona, and Lake Siena, a quarter-mile man-made water feature with cascading waterfalls.

Enjoy the best in resort living! This guard -gated community also features The Golf Clubhouse, community center that's a hub for social and club activities, and a 15,900 square-foot state-of-the-art health & fitness center as well as a variety of other recreational amenities.

This 2,400 acre community was completed by Del Webb in 1998. There were 7,779 homes constructed which house over 
14,000 residents. It is located in the northwest with an approximate 20 to 25 min. commute to the strip and airport. This community took approximately 10 years to complete. Sizes of homes range from 2 bedroom, 1 bath under 1100 sq. ft. to 3 bedrooms at over 3,000 sq. ft.. There are normally between 80 and 100 resale homes available. This is a very small number considering the total number of homes and reflects a high demand for this product and community. The amenities include a total of 5 pools, 2 of which are indoor, 3 out, 3 golf courses, hobby rooms, tennis courts, a racquetball court, 3 restaurants, 4 community centers, miniature golf and really, the list goes on and on. The golf courses are homeowner owned as opposed to Siena and Sun City Anthem where this is not the case. In terms of amenities, I would rate this community number one with more of just about everything. More tennis courts, hobby rooms, pools, and community centers. 

The local infrastructure is in place, with lots of convenient shopping and services.

Note: With the downsizing of Sun City Anthem, Sun City Summerlin will be far and away the largest of the local age restricted communities. It does, in my opinion, offer much more in the way of common area amenities. It does not seem likely that there will ever be a local age restricted community that will offer the combination of services and amenities that are found here.

Sun City MacDonald Ranch is located in southeast, just east of Green Valley Parkway and south of the I215. It is approximately 15 min from the strip and airport. It is nestled up against the Black Mountains. Amenities include a 18 hole golf course, recreation center, tennis, jogging, and swimming (outdoor pool only). At approximately 2,400 homes it is by far Del Webb's smallest local age restricted community. Prices range from the 120's up. Homes range from under 1100 sq. ft. to around 2,200 sq. ft. The golf course is an executive course with very low green fee's for the residents (presently $16 for 18 holes). Along with Sun City Summerlin it is distinguished by the fact that the golf course in owned by the homeowner's. This is not the case at Siena or at Sun City Anthem.
