Neighborhood Guide · Henderson · Updated September 2026
A 320-acre lake in the hills of east Henderson, two golf courses, and a village on the water. It is the most distinctive address in the valley and the slowest market in this guide — homes here sit a median of 103 days, which is leverage if you are the buyer.
Talk to me about Lake Las VegasLake Las Vegas sits in the hills of far east Henderson, in the 89011 zip code, about seventeen miles from the Strip. It is built around a 320-acre man-made lake, with MonteLago Village on the water, two golf courses, and a Westin resort. Construction started in the late 1990s and continues today, so the housing stock runs from 1999-era Mediterranean through brand-new production.
It does not feel like the rest of Las Vegas, and that is the entire point. It also does not function like the rest of Las Vegas: it is a destination, not a commuter suburb, and the market behaves accordingly. Understanding that is the difference between buying well here and overpaying.
Every active listing as of September 12, 2026. Note that this community has a real condo market, which is what pulls the bottom of the range down.

Pulled from the Las Vegas MLS on September 12, 2026. Subdivision names beginning with Lake Las Vegas, active listings only, includes condos. Counts move every day — ask me for today's.
7 of the 23 active listings are condos and 16 are single-family homes. The median single-family listing is 3,127 square feet at about $455 per square foot, the highest in this guide — you are paying for the lake, and the numbers say so plainly. The entry point is 14 Strada Di Circolo #- at $289,000, a one-bedroom condo, and the top is 9 Via Del Garda at $2,475,000.
The median active listing here has been sitting 103 days. For comparison, Anthem's median is 33 days and Southern Highlands is 45. That gap is not a warning sign about the community; it reflects a smaller, more specific buyer pool made up of second-home buyers, retirees, and people who want the resort setting badly enough to accept the drive.
If you are buying, that is leverage, and it is the most useful fact on this page. A seller ninety days in with no offers is in a very different conversation than a seller three weeks in. If you are selling here, it means pricing and marketing have to be right on day one, because the market will not bail you out with volume.
Homes with actual water frontage, homes with a water view from an elevated lot, and homes inside the community with no water at all are three different products at three different prices. Lake access and dock rights also vary by village. Never assume from the community name; I confirm what a specific address actually includes before you get attached to it.
About 30 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport and 35 to 40 minutes to the Strip outside of rush hour. Roughly 20 minutes to Henderson's Green Valley and The District for everyday shopping. Groceries and errands are a drive, not a walk, from most of the community. This is the trade you are making, and it is worth being honest with yourself about it before you buy.
Expect a master association fee plus a village fee, and for condos in MonteLago, a higher monthly that reflects resort-style maintenance. Fees here are among the highest in the valley because there is a lake, a village and resort infrastructure to maintain. I pull the exact numbers and the resale package before you write, because on a condo here the monthly can move your affordability more than the price does.
Lake Las Vegas is in the Clark County School District. Because the community sits apart from the rest of Henderson, school assignments and bus routes are worth checking carefully and specifically. I verify the zoned schools for the exact address rather than the community.
It fits second-home buyers, retirees, remote workers, and anyone who wants a genuinely distinctive setting and does not drive to the Strip every morning. The condo market makes it one of the few ways to own something on the water in Las Vegas at an entry price. It is the wrong fit for a daily Strip or downtown commute, and the wrong fit if you want to walk to a grocery store.
On September 12, 2026 there were 23 active listings in Lake Las Vegas, from $289,000 to $2,475,000, with a median asking price of $1,050,000. 12 of the 23 were over $1 million. Seven of them were condos, which is how the entry price gets down to $289,000.
Yes. Lake Las Vegas is a 320-acre man-made lake in the hills of east Henderson, and the community is built around its shoreline. Waterfront and water-view homes carry a clear premium over homes set back from it, and lake access rules differ by village, so it is worth confirming what a specific address actually gets.
Because it is a destination rather than a commuter location. The median active listing here has been on the market 103 days, roughly three times the pace of Anthem. The buyer pool is smaller and more specific: second homes, retirees, and people who genuinely want the resort setting. That is a disadvantage if you are selling and a real negotiating advantage if you are buying.
It is the furthest community in this guide. Plan on about 30 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport and 35 to 40 minutes to the Strip outside of rush hour, via Lake Mead Parkway and the 215. If you commute to the Strip daily, this is the wrong neighborhood and I will tell you so.
