Cadence, a Top Master-Planned Community

Cadence has earned a spot as one of the top three master-planned communities for home sales in 2024, according to RCLCO. With 1,386 home sales in the first half of 2024, marking an impressive 44% increase over the previous year, Cadence’s success highlights its growing appeal as a premier place to live. This recognition is part of RCLCO’s annual survey, which, for the past 31 years, has tracked high-performing master-planned communities across the country to identify the top sellers in each state.

Located within our Eastside Redevelopment Area, which encompasses over 4,900 acres and includes the Pittman and Valley View neighborhoods, the Sunset Industrial Corridor, Galleria at Sunset, and the surrounding area, Cadence benefits from ongoing revitalization efforts led by the City. Through the East Henderson Investment Strategy, the Community Development and Services Department and the Redevelopment Agency are working together to implement goals set forth by the Southern Nevada Strong Regional Plan and the Henderson Strong Comprehensive Plan. These efforts focus on improving safety, infrastructure, services, amenities and addressing concerns like home improvement and neighborhood enhancements along Boulder Highway.

RCLCO’s initiative focuses on successful communities and acts as a tool for monitoring the overall health of the for-sale housing industry. By analyzing trends and tracking sales performance, the survey provides insights into what makes communities thrive, helping to shape development best practices. In the latest Mid-Year 2024 update, the top-selling communities, including Cadence, continued to show strong results despite facing challenges, such as severe weather and affordability concerns.

With its prime location, welcoming atmosphere and outstanding amenities, Cadence continues to attract homebuyers seeking a healthy, livable and sustainable community experience. Cadence stands out as an exceptional choice in one of the nation’s most desirable real estate markets.
