Having it all is possible. You can enjoy all the fun and entertainment that Las Vegas offers but still go home to a gated community that’s only 15 minutes but a world away. The Anthem Country Club is simply one of the most prestigious addresses in the country. This master-planned, guard-gated community offers an unmatched exclusive lifestyle that’s ideal for settling down with a family or for a rewarding retirement. And golf. World-class golf. Anthem Country Club is famous for its Hale Irwin and Keith Foster-designed championship golf course that provides a fitting challenge for all levels of golfers. A full 72 par course, it has dramatic elevation changes and unrivalled Las Vegas valley views. Golfing across this 7373-yard course is an experience that rivals any in the world.
Anthem Country Club is located in the city of Henderson, Nevada, sitting southeast of the Las Vegas Valley and in the foothills of the Black Mountains. It is part of the Anthem community, which was master-planned and developed by the Del Webb Corporation in 1998.
Anthem is subdivided into three communities: Anthem Country Club, Sun City Anthem, and Coventry Homes at Anthem. Anthem Country Club, considered the premier guard-gated subdivision of the larger Anthem community, was developed as a golf-course community and was added in 1999. It further consists of smaller neighborhood blocks that are themselves separately gated and individually named. There’s Emerald Dunes, Rock Hollow, Weatherford, and more.
Anthem Country Club itself has about 4,000-plus residents with a median age of 55. And as you’d expect from one of the country’s most exclusive neighborhoods, the median household income in Anthem Country Club is $142,680, which almost doubles that of the national median household income. The Median home price here stands at $907,000, more than triple of the median home price for the rest of Nevada. 89% of the homes are occupied by the owners themselves and have 2.5 members on average.
The overall picture is that Anthem is a very affluent but neighborly community made from a mix of people. You’ll have younger families looking to raise their children in a safe environment but also retirees, many of whom are looking to enjoy an active and healthy retirement.
As mentioned above, Del Webb originally planned and built Anthem Country Club. The houses that Del Webb built were designed with curved walls, niches, rotundas, and large overhangs.
When Pulte Homes Corporation acquired Del Webb for $800 million in 2001, the company streamlined the architecture for subsequent homes in Anthem Country Club.
Energy efficiency became the driving idea and the builders switched to a cleaner, more squared-off design, eliminating all basement options and preferring low-E vinyl clad windows, among other design changes. But whether they were built in the Del Webb era or the Pulte era, homes in Anthem Country Club are built on spacious lots. Custom home lots range from ⅓ acre to over an acre.
Most homes here typically sit on lots that are larger than the norm in Henderson. And since the washes running through the golf course and the properties were never built over, the community never lacks for open, natural, walkable spaces.
While there are different styles and sizes of homes in Anthem Country Club, all of them are nothing short of impressive. From single-family homes to custom residences, you’ll find something for you in Anthem Country Club. Prices typically range from $500,000-plus for production-model homes and can go all the way up to the multi-millions, depending on the features of the property.
A good number of homes are single-story, maximizing the scenic views of the beautiful surroundings. It’s communally agreed upon by homeowners to not allow tall houses so as not to block anyone’s view and infringe on any adjacent property’s privacy.
When it comes to architecture style there’s a range, but all impeccably done. A Tuscan-style home sits beside a sleek Modern one. A Mission-style Revival home is flanked by an equally gorgeous Minimalist residence. These homes don’t just offer good views; they are quite the view themselves.
If peaceful walks along tree-lined streets with scenic nature views is what you enjoy, then Anthem Country Club is perfect for you. Getting in your steps with a light jog or a brisk run is a treat when you’re in such beautiful surroundings. Walking the dog is a good way to take in the wonderful landscapes and possibly meet other dog-loving neighbors as well.
A balance has to be struck though between exclusivity and convenience. In order to retain the special appeal of Anthem Country Club, there are no commercial establishments within walking distance. If you want to shop for groceries, get some school supplies for the kids, or do any other errand, you’ll have to take the car. Of course, for many, if not all residents, this is not a problem and this practice has allowed Anthem Country Club to preserve its idyllic charm.
This is not to say that there is a shortage of retail opportunities, just that it is kept beyond the immediate housing of the residents. The nearest airport is McCarran. As for other public transportation, no public transportation passes through Anthem Country Club, something you’d expect from a luxury guard-gated community.
It should be noted that Henderson, is considered as having some of the lowest crime rates in Nevada and both violent crime and property crime are on the decrease. Safewise states that violent crime fell 12% between 2019 and 2021, while property crime fell about the same amount in the same time.

Everyone knows that across large parts of the country, it’s a sellers market with demand outstripping supply and real estate prices soaring. Investment analysts like Norada predict that these trends will continue till at least the end of the year and possibly beyond. This may make some buyers hesitant to buy now and wait till supply begins to match demand in the hope of getting better prices. However, investment money is pouring in from other parts of the country with higher real estate prices as people look to enjoy better climes, housing and way of life.
There is a particularly strong interest in the luxury housing market which is set to increase continually which means that the best time to buy a luxury home in Nevada is sooner rather than later, preferable now. This strong increase in house pricing is only likely to continue as the pandemic abates and the country recovers economically.
