Hi, we're Manesh and Tania. We made the move from the Seattle area to the Las Vegas Valley ourselves, so we know a relocation involves much more than choosing a house. Cadence is a growing master plan built around Central Park, with new homes and resale options to compare. This guide gets into the details that matter before you buy, from the home layout and lot to HOA costs, school zoning and what is still being built.
#3 Nationally Ranked Master-Planned Community (2025).Cadence ranked third nationally for new-home sales in RCLCO's full-year 2025 report and fifth in its mid-year 2026 report. It spans 2,200 acres, with up to 12,250 residential units planned at buildout. Homes include townhomes, duplexes and detached layouts across several neighborhoods. Compare the specific home and its total cost rather than treating Cadence as one price point.
Cadence real estate what to compare
New build or resale: compare the finished home, included features and move-in timing. Price: compare recent closed sales with similar layouts, lot positions and condition. Negotiating room: depends on the home, listing history and competing inventory. Monthly cost: include financing, taxes, insurance and every applicable association assessment. Investing: check lease rules and property-specific rent and expense estimates before making an offer. Ask about a Cadence home: (725) 300-6899
Cadence Builders & New Homes
Cadence's September 2026 new-home guide lists these builders and neighborhoods. It's a dated guide, not a promise that every plan or homesite is available today - ask us to confirm the current release before you fall in love with a model.
| Builder | Community | Price Range | Standout Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taylor Morrison | Opus | From mid $400s | Two and three-story plans |
| Lennar | Carlton | From $390,990 | Townhomes and two-story plans |
| Richmond American | Harmony/Interlude | From $549,950 | Two-story plan |
| Century Communities | Alderidge / Modena | From the mid $300s / from mid $440s | Townhomes and two-story homes |
| Beazer | Cantana Point / Aria Crossing | From upper $300s and low $500s | One of the lowest entry points in Cadence |

| Storybook Homes | Acacia | $460K-$550K | Customizable elevations |
Before you compare prices: The model home is the starting point, not the full price. Compare the lot premium, included finishes, upgrades, landscaping, financing terms and total assessments. Any incentive or completion date needs a current written quote for that home. Do not go alone!
Looking Ahead: Looking ahead: Lennar's Leighton neighborhood is marked coming soon, and Cadence is only partway to its approved 12,250 homes - more neighborhoods, parks and retail are planned across the remaining sections. No 2027 dates are confirmed yet, so treat anything "coming" as planned until the developer publishes a timetable. Ask us, we will share any updates we have with you.
What Makes Cadence Special For Residents
Central Park is the centerpiece: about 50 acres with walking space, two amphitheaters, pickleball courts, play areas and an outdoor fitness court. The six-lane pool and splash pad are resident amenities; the park itself is open to the public. Pool access requires a Cadence Master Association Card and operates seasonally.
Across the master plan, the developer describes nearly 450 acres of open space, with parks and trails that keep growing as Cadence builds out. Food trucks set up near North Water Street and East Sunset Road on a posted schedule - an easy evening out without leaving the neighborhood.
Our advice: stand in the part of Cadence you're considering and check how it works from your front door - the walk to the park, the shade, the outdoor space, any construction nearby, and the drive to your regular spots. It differs from one neighborhood to the next, and it's often the difference between a house you like and a home you love.
