Nestled within the City of Henderson, The Canyons is a sprawling rural-suburban community that features contemporary single-family homes designed to visually resonate with the desert landscape. It is one of several prime communities within the historical 3,200-acre MacDonald Ranch, and it sits on the foothills of the Las Vegas Valley, 13.2 miles away from the world-renowned Las Vegas Boulevard.
While the majority of community members belong to the 30-39 age group, followed by children between the ages of 0-9, the wider MacDonald Ranch offers significant developments from shopping areas, recreational parks, bike trails, golf courses, premier restaurants, schools, health facilities, and future commercial complexes that support residents of all ages.
The Canyons community gets the most stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline on one side and breathtaking views of the hills on the other due to its unique topography. If you’re looking for a tranquil place to grow your family, start your career, or retire, The Canyons is your place to be!
The history of The Canyons goes back to the 1980s when Mac and Frances MacDonald first bought the rocky 3,200-acre property now known as the MacDonald Ranch. Developments in Las Vegas were starting to take root, and there was yet any demand for this remote, seemingly-impractical piece of land. Twenty (20) years later, space in the lowlands became sparse and residential and commercial developments started to crawl beyond the valley. This was when the MacDonalds began to build their vision of peaceful, uniquely-elevated communities with the best views of the valley, starting with four (4) villages.
Eventually, Village IV (The Canyons) was sold to a builder and was finally constructed by veteran real estate developer Lennar. Homes range from 3,194ft2 – 3,669ft2 with 4-5 bedrooms each. There are four (4) different types of houses in the area: the Lyra, Gemini, Orion, and the Galileo Next Gen — all representing Lennar’s advocacy for the multigenerational family.
As much as the MacDonald Ranch was a witness to the history of Henderson, so will The Canyons be as you create your lifelong memories with your family.
The Canyons is one of the best upscale neighborhoods in Henderson. As of February 2022, the median listing home price was $1.1M, with an average price of $600+ /ft2. This was 20.5% more than the average listing price in the previous year. In the larger MacDonald Ranch area, the average home rental price is $2,200, a bit higher as well than 80% of communities in the entire State.
Apart from being a gated community, more than 60% of homes are owner-occupied, ensuring safety and security. This is a good factor since more than 16% of MacDonald Ranch residents work from home.
The majority of land in Henderson is used for residential purposes, and you’ll be delighted to know that the city has one of the lowest property tax rates in the State of Nevada. Due to its proximity to nature, easy access to premier lifestyle establishments, and the continuous rise of more affluent communities around the area (i.e., The MacDonald Highlands), the value of homes in The Canyons is expected to grow more in the coming years.
