Which communities do we check often?

Northwest Las Vegas single-level homes on a wide street, Red Rock range in the distance.

Sun City Summerlin

Northwest Las Vegas. Inventory mix includes single-level plans; we still measure doors and showers rather than trust the community label.

Henderson hillside street of single-level stucco homes with a covered front walk.

Sun City Anthem

Henderson. Same rule: 55+ is an age policy, not an access certificate.

Henderson desert community of one-story homes, gravel and palo verde in the parkway.

Solera

Henderson. PLACEHOLDER: current inventory notes pending a sourced market snapshot.

Staffed vehicle gatehouse at a Henderson community entrance, mountains beyond the wall.

Siena

Henderson. Guard-gated. Access still depends on the unit, not the gate.

Builder street of single-level Nevada homes with mailboxes and a flat sidewalk.

Del Webb communities

Multiple Las Vegas Valley locations. Builder marketing is not a substitute for a tape measure on the unit you will actually occupy.

What does universal design mean here?

Interior: lever hardware, a roll-in shower doorway, and a zero-step patio slider on one level.

Universal design on this site means features that reduce the number of required body movements for daily tasks: zero-step entry, lever hardware, a roll-in or transferable shower, and a single finished level for sleep, food, and bathing. We record those items. We do not assign them to a type of person.
