Once you understand the basic operational scale of Cadence, the next logical question is where this 2,200-acre footprint sits on the Henderson map.

Where Is Cadence Located in Henderson, Nevada?

Cadence is situated in eastern Henderson within Clark County, Nevada, primarily in ZIP code 89011.

The master plan is geographically framed by several primary arterial corridors:

• Southern Boundary: East Lake Mead Parkway (State Route 564)
  
  
• Western Boundary: Boulder Highway (US Route 93/95)
  
  
• Northern & Eastern Access: East Sunset Road and Warm Springs Road
  
  

The community sits approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the historic Water Street District in Downtown Henderson, providing a direct connection to municipal offices, local dining, and civic events. Directly east along Lake Mead Parkway lies the master-planned resort community of Lake Las Vegas.

Distance to Major Regional Destinations

Commute considerations across the Las Vegas metro area depend heavily on nearby freeway connectivity. Cadence links directly to Interstate 215 (Bruce Woodbury Beltway) and Interstate 11 via Lake Mead Parkway and Boulder Highway.

Understanding where Cadence sits today naturally raises a deeper question: how did 2,200 acres of contiguous land become available for development in eastern Henderson?

History and Land Remediation of the Cadence Master Plan

The land comprising Cadence carries a distinct historical footprint tied directly to World War II industrial operations in Southern Nevada.

Beginning in 1942, the site was part of the Basic Magnesium, Inc. (BMI) industrial complex, which produced magnesium metal for wartime aircraft and munitions. Following WWII, industrial processing continued under various private commercial operations over several decades.

TIMELINE: Cadence Development History

• 1942: Basic Magnesium, Inc. (BMI) begins industrial operations in eastern Henderson.
  
  
• 1990s–2000s: The LandWell Company is formed to lead environmental restoration and master land planning.
  
  
• 2007–2012: Environmental soil remediation completed under direct state regulatory supervision.
  
  
• 2013: Official infrastructure groundbreaking for the Cadence master plan.
  
  
• 2014: First residential home sales and model grand openings commence.
  
  
• 2026: Ongoing multi-phase residential, commercial, and park development.
  
  

To prepare the land for residential, park, and commercial use, The LandWell Company executed an extensive, multi-year environmental remediation program supervised directly by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection BMI Project Records.

The remediation protocol involved excavating impacted soils, placing them into engineered Corrective Action Management Units (CAMUs), and backfilling affected areas with clean, certified soil. Following rigorous testing, the NDEP issued formal regulatory certifications confirming the land met strict state and federal safety standards for residential development prior to groundbreaking in 2013.

With environmental certifications in hand, the developer established master infrastructure, opening the doors for diverse architectural residential designs.

Homes and Housing Options in Cadence Henderson

Housing inventory in Cadence is defined by diverse physical layouts rather than uniform neighborhood streetscapes. Multiple homebuilders construct residences across varying structural density tiers.

Residential property options across the master plan include:

• Detached Single-Family Residences: Single-story and two-story detached layouts ranging from compact ~1,200-square-foot properties up to multi-story designs exceeding 3,200 square feet with three-bay garages.
  
  
• Attached Townhomes: Multi-level attached properties offering private garages, lower-maintenance exterior footprints, and contemporary floor plans.
  
  
• Urban "Midtown" Collections: High-density, multi-story urban court designs featuring rooftop decks, attached garages, and modern structural elevations.
  
  
• Single-Story Housing: Highly requested single-story footprints available across both non-age-restricted collections and age-restricted enclaves.
  
  
• Age-Qualified Housing: Single-story residential layouts situated exclusively within the guard-gated Heritage at Cadence enclave.
  
  
• Multifamily & Rental Communities: Dedicated luxury apartment complexes integrated into designated commercial and residential parcels within the master plan.
  
  

Selecting a structural housing format leads directly into evaluating the active builders actively constructing these layouts.

Heritage at Cadence: Understanding the Age-Qualified Community

Is all of Cadence an age-restricted 55+ community?

No. The Cadence master plan as a whole is an open-age community. However, Heritage at Cadence is a specific 980-home, guard-gated age-qualified village situated within the larger master plan.

Master Plan Cadence	Heritage at Cadence
Non-age-restricted master community	Age-qualified 55+ enclave governed under HOPA guidelines
Open access public streets and neighborhood parks	Private, guard-gated entries with restricted neighborhood access
Access to master amenities (Central Park, trails)	Access to master amenities PLUS private Heritage-only clubhouse
Master HOA monthly dues ($75/mo)	Master HOA dues ($75/mo) PLUS Heritage sub-association dues

Heritage at Cadence was constructed exclusively by Lennar and features single-story home plans. The enclave is anchored by a private, ~23,000+ square-foot clubhouse featuring an indoor lap pool, outdoor resort pool, fitness facility, pickleball courts, bocce courts, and a dedicated lifestyle director.

HOPA Compliance Notice: Heritage at Cadence operates under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). Occupancy guidelines require at least one resident in each home to be 55 years of age or older, subject to specific association rules and statutory exemptions. Prospective buyers should review current Heritage governing documents for exact rules regarding underage occupants and visitors.

Understanding sub-associations inside Heritage leads directly into examining all recurring property assessments across the community.

HOA Assessments, SID/LID Fees and Homeownership Dues

Financial due diligence for homes in Cadence requires looking at both master association dues and potential sub-association fees.

Verify HOA and property-specific assessments before purchasing

Master HOA Dues

• Current Master Fee: $75 per month for all Cadence homeowners.
  
  
• Coverage: Master HOA dues fund maintenance for common areas, master park facilities, community trails, master landscaping, and community event programming.
  
  
• Capital Contribution: A one-time $750 capital contribution fee is typically collected at property closing.
  
  

Sub-Association Fees

Certain neighborhoods—such as townhome collections, urban courts, private gated tracts, and the Heritage 55+ enclave—carry additional monthly sub-association fees. These dues cover specialized services like private gate maintenance, building exterior upkeep, or exclusive clubhouse operations.

Special Improvement District (SID/LID) Status

Unlike many Southern Nevada master-planned communities where buyers pay recurring annual Special Improvement District (SID) or Local Improvement District (LID) property tax assessments to repay infrastructure bonds, Cadence has a $0 SID assessment balance.

Master developer LandWell prepaid municipal infrastructure assessments, meaning home buyers do not carry recurring SID/LID tax bills on their property parcels.

Verification Guidance: Buyers should independently verify current HOA dues, sub-association fees, and tax assessments for the specific parcel they are considering through the Clark County Property Assessor Portal.

Current Cadence Construction and Future Master Plan Development

Cadence continues to execute its multi-decade master development agreement through ongoing residential phases and commercial expansion.

What Buyers Should Know Before Touring New Construction

When visiting new-construction sales offices in Cadence, buyers should understand the dynamics of real estate agency representation.

• Builder Representative Agency: Sales staff inside model home centers represent the seller (the builder) and hold a legal obligation to protect the builder's financial and contractual interests.
  
  
• Independent Representation: Consumers have the option to be represented by an independent buyer agent who owes fiduciary duties exclusively to the buyer.
  
  
• Builder Registration Policies: Builder registration rules vary. Many builders require an independent agent to accompany the consumer on their initial model home tour or register them prior to visiting. Buyers should check specific builder policies before touring.
  
  
• Written Representation Agreements: Under modern Nevada guidelines, consumers work with independent real estate agents under written buyer representation agreements detailing duties and compensation terms.
  
  
• Compensation Rules: Real estate brokerage compensation is fully negotiable and is not set by law.
  
  

Establishing representation procedures helps buyers move smoothly into property-specific due diligence.
