For growing families, the size of the backyard is only part of the equation — what’s outside the front door matters just as much. Cadence was built with exactly that in mind. Spread across roughly 2,200 acres in Henderson, this master-planned community is on track for about 12,250 homes at full buildout, and it was designed from the ground up around parks, trails, and open space instead of squeezing them in afterward. For families who want their kids to be able to walk or bike to a park, Cadence is one of the strongest fits in the valley.
Central Park: 50 Acres Built for Families
The heart of the community is Central Park, a 50-acre amenity hub with a six-lane lap pool, a 2,000-square-foot splash pad, pickleball courts, children’s play areas, two amphitheaters, and wide-open turf for everything from soccer practice to family picnics. It’s the kind of amenity that turns a Saturday morning into a full day out without ever leaving the neighborhood.
Parks in Every Direction
Central Park is just the start. Henderson has built a growing network of neighborhood parks throughout Cadence, including Desert Pulse Park and its adjoining Dakota Dog Park, the skate park and covered playgrounds at Desert Symphony Park, casual green space at Citrine Sky Park and Blooming Cactus Park, and cornhole, table tennis, and a children’s playground at Sunset Strip Park. More are on the way, including the dedicated Cadence Sports Park for organized fields and sports facilities — so the park closest to home just keeps getting closer as the community fills in.
Trails Built for Getting Outside
Miles of interconnected walking and biking trails link the neighborhoods together, giving kids safe routes to school and parks and giving parents an easy way to get everyone outside without loading up the car. It’s a small design choice that adds up to a lot more time spent outdoors than in a typical subdivision.
Schools & Everyday Life
Cadence Elementary sits inside the community itself, with Burkholder Middle School and Basic High School serving older kids. Families who want charter options nearby also have Doral Academy, Somerset Academy, and Pinecrest Academy within reach. Combine that with fiber-optic internet available to every home, and Cadence covers both the outdoor lifestyle and the day-to-day logistics that matter to a large family.
Room to Grow: New Construction & Resale
Cadence is still building out, with eight active builders — including Century Communities, D.R. Horton, KB Home, Lennar, Woodside Homes, Richmond American, Pulte, Taylor Morrison, and Toll Brothers — offering new construction alongside a growing resale market, with prices spanning roughly $370,000 to $1.2 million. That range means families can often find a floor plan sized for a big household at a price point that fits.
One thing every buyer touring new construction in Cadence needs to know before setting foot on a builder’s lot: bring your Premier Homes Real Estate agent with you on your very first visit to any builder’s sales office or model home. New home builders will not add a buyer’s agent after that first visit — representation has to be registered right from the start, or you lose the benefit of having your own agent negotiating on your behalf.
Whether it’s the parks, the trails, the schools, or simply the room to grow, Cadence is built around the way a large family actually lives day to day — and that’s exactly why we send so many of our clients with kids to look here first.
