What Cordera Ranch Actually Is

Cordera Ranch is a small, newer 55+ community in Henderson with 73 homes at $500K–$600K — fully built out as of 2019 and now entirely resale. The Henderson location delivers the strong fundamentals of that market: proximity to St. Rose Dominican, Green Valley Ranch area retail, and competitive resale demand from California equity buyers. At 73 homes, it is intentionally small and private — a neighborhood rather than a resort-style community. Buyers who find communities like Heritage at Cadence too large will find Cordera Ranch’s intimate scale appealing.

That savings applies equally whether you live at Cordera Ranch or at Sun City Summerlin.

Clark County Property Tax

Nevada assesses at 35% of appraised value. Combined Clark County rates produce an effective tax of approximately 0.52–0.58% of market value.
