Cadence is redefining the modern Henderson lifestyle. Since opening nearly 10 years ago, the 2,200-acre master-planned community has grown to 24 neighborhoods with eight more to come this year. Everything is designed with walkability in mind, emphasizing parks, lakes, and walkways.

🛒 A Fully Equipped Community

You really don’t need to leave Cadence if you don’t want to. Pick up groceries at Smith’s at the Cadence Village Center, which also has Great Clips, Cafe Rio, Starbucks, and other businesses. Wells Fargo, Broken Yolk, and EOS Fitness are planned as well.

🏡 Homes Built Around Parks

The 50-acre Central Park is the heart of the community, featuring an adventure playground, picnic tables, amphitheaters, and impressive views of the Strip. But each individual neighborhood has at least one park of its own. A hundred-acre community sports park is on tap for 2025.

🐶 Dogs Have the Life

Cadence is extremely pet-friendly. How much so? The Cadence Animal Hospital opened before the ER at Cadence — an extension of Henderson Hospital that welcomes (human) patients later this year. The Dakota Dog Park has three play areas for canines of all sizes to run around.

🧭 Location is Everything

Cadence is northeast of Boulder Highway and Lake Mead Parkway, making it centrally located for quick visits to the historic Water Street district, Lake Las Vegas, Galleria at Sunset, and Green Valley Ranch — as well as local faves like Jessie Rae’s BBQ and Boom Bang Fine Foods & Cocktails.

🌳 It’s Not Just for Homeowners

Guests are welcome to attend farmers markets, movies on the lawn, and other events — or snap photos of the street signs inspired by Pokémon.
