KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About Sun Colony at Siena at a Glance?
Sun Colony at Siena is the most upscale section of Siena in Summerlin South (ZIP 89135) — a HOPA 55+ enclave with a secondary guard gate, single-story luxury homes from 2,200 to 3,200+ SF, golf frontage, and prices from $700,000 to $1.3 million-plus, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data and U.S. Census demographics. Five things to know before you tour.
- Dual guard gates: every resident passes both the main Siena gate and a second Sun Colony-exclusive gate — the most private access stack in the Summerlin 55+ market.
- Single-story only: every home is one story, ranging from 2,200 to 3,200+ SF — the largest floor plans in Siena, built by Shea Homes on golf-frontage and mountain-view lots.
- Clubhouse included: the 30,000 SF Siena Clubhouse (pools, fitness, tennis, pickleball, card rooms, art studios) is part of all HOA dues — no separate membership.
- Nevada tax advantage: zero state income tax and a 3% annual property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 make Sun Colony one of the most retiree-cost-efficient luxury addresses in the Southwest.
- Do your homework: golf-frontage lot premiums ($50K–$150K+), HOPA compliance, and HOA resale packages all deserve early diligence before you write.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is Sun Colony at Siena Safe?
Yes — by layered design. Sun Colony residents pass through two staffed guard gates and enjoy roving interior security patrols, perimeter walls, and City of Las Vegas police coverage. The surrounding Summerlin South ZIP 89135 consistently ranks among the lowest-crime areas in the Las Vegas Valley per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data.
- Dual staffed guard gates (main Siena + Sun Colony)HOA-funded, operating continuously
- Roving interior security patrolsHOA-funded per the Siena plan record
- City of Las Vegas police jurisdictionMetro coverage outside the gate
- Among lowest-crime ZIP codes in LV ValleyPer FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data
What Buyers Should Know
The dual-gate design does quiet, structural work: every vehicle inside Sun Colony has cleared two staffed checkpoints — the main Siena gate and the Sun Colony secondary gate. No through-traffic, no casual access. People on Sun Colony streets are residents, their guests, or verified vendors. Perimeter walls and roving patrols add layers on top of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department coverage of the Summerlin South corridor.
The surrounding ZIP 89135 is one of the valley's most owner-occupied, high-income ZIP codes — a profile that correlates strongly with lower property and violent crime rates. Buyers can benchmark the area themselves through FBI UCR-based tools publicly available online before writing an offer.
For retirees prioritizing security in their retirement home choice, Sun Colony's layered access — dual gates, patrols, walls, and a tightly knit community where residents know each other — is among the strongest 55+ security environments in the Las Vegas Valley.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Sun Colony at Siena Score?
Sun Colony earns top marks for security, retirement lifestyle, and tax efficiency, with honest trade-offs on carrying costs and the HOPA age requirement. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating retiree before a first tour behind the dual gates.
Grade A: Safety
Dual staffed guard gates, roving patrols, perimeter walls, and City of Las Vegas police coverage — the strongest 55+ security stack in Summerlin.
Grade A: Retirement Lifestyle
Siena Golf Club, 30,000 SF clubhouse, pickleball, fitness, organized social calendar, and single-story floor plans purpose-built for active adult living.
Grade A: Tax Efficiency
Zero state income tax, 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 — among the best retiree tax environments in the country.
Grade B+: Cost of Living
Entry near $700K plus $200–$450+/mo HOA is a premium proposition — but far below comparable gated 55+ communities in coastal California.
Grade A-: Outdoor Access
Siena Golf Club on-site, Red Rock Canyon 12 minutes west, Downtown Summerlin 5 minutes east — elite outdoor access for an active adult community.
Grade A-: Medical Access
Summerlin Hospital Medical Center 10 minutes away; Downtown Summerlin medical offices 5 minutes — strong specialist access for an active-adult community.

Quick Answer
Is Sun Colony at Siena a good place to retire?
Yes — if guard-gated luxury, golf access, and Nevada's zero state income tax top your retirement checklist. Sun Colony pairs the most upscale floor plans in Siena (2,200–3,200+ SF, single-story) behind two staffed guard gates with a 30,000 SF clubhouse five minutes from Downtown Summerlin and Red Rock Canyon twelve minutes west. The trade-offs are real — $700K+ entry, $200–$450+/mo HOA dues, and HOPA age compliance — but for retirees who want the Summerlin address with maximum privacy and lifestyle amenities, few 55+ communities in Nevada compete.

Who Lives in Sun Colony at Siena?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Las Vegas holds 656,274 residents, median age 37, median household income $66,820. Inside Siena's gates the profile inverts sharply: community records show a median age near 68, average household income above $125,000, and a 95% homeownership rate among roughly 2,000 residents.
The Census does not break the Sun Colony enclave out separately, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the gates, our transaction data shows a mix of California relocators trading coastal taxes for Nevada's zero, downsizing professionals from Summerlin's all-ages communities, and longtime Las Vegas residents choosing the active-adult lifestyle for the first time.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Sun Colony at Siena Area Growing?
Sun Colony itself is finished — a permanent number of homes within Siena's 270 acres, with no land left to add supply. Its parent metro keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and ZIP 89135 remains one of the most in-demand luxury ZIP codes in the valley, supporting consistent resale demand for Sun Colony's limited inventory.
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside the gates, supply is permanently capped — Siena's 270-acre footprint and HOPA designation mean resale is the only path to ownership, which is the scarcity argument for Sun Colony. Turnover is thin by design: a 95% owner-occupancy rate and a retired buyer profile mean most residents stay for a decade or longer before selling.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Sun Colony at Siena Score for Livability?
Sun Colony scores highest on retirement lifestyle, security, and tax efficiency: dual guard gates, single-story luxury floor plans on the Siena Golf Club, a 30,000 SF clubhouse, and Nevada's zero state income tax. The honest trade-offs are entry cost ($700K+) and the HOPA 55+ age requirement. Six categories below, benchmarked to primary sources.

Well-priced golf-frontage homes sell in 30–45 days; interior lots or overpriced positions can sit 60–90 days before price discovery.

WHY SUN COLONY AT SIENA
Why Does Sun Colony at Siena Stand Apart From Its 55+ Peers?
Five advantages that no other Summerlin 55+ community can fully replicate — each tied to a verifiable source, including the Nevada Revised Statutes, FBI crime data, U.S. Census, the California Franchise Tax Board, and the Siena community plan record.
- Siena community plan record

- Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 · California Franchise Tax Board
Nevada zero income tax + 3% property-tax cap

- Siena community plan record
30,000 SF clubhouse included in HOA dues
The Siena Clubhouse — indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, card rooms, art studios — is included in all Sun Colony HOA dues. No separate membership fee.

Should I Retire to Sun Colony at Siena?
California retirees discover that guard-gated 55+ golf living priced out of reach on the coast is attainable in Summerlin South for $700,000 to $1.3 million. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that one line item funds most relocations.
Why California Retirees Are Choosing Sun Colony at Siena
The tax math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A retiree drawing $150,000 per year in Social Security, IRA distributions, and investment income saves roughly $19,950 per year at the state level. Sun Colony adds what coastal gated retirement communities can't answer at the price: single-story luxury homes behind two staffed guard gates, Siena Golf Club frontage, a 30,000 SF clubhouse included in HOA dues, and a 3% annual property-tax cap under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 — all in the heart of Summerlin South.
At a $900,000 budget, Orange County buyers are looking at a dated mid-century home on a standard lot in an open neighborhood. That same budget in Sun Colony at Siena secures a 2,600+ SF single-story luxury home behind two staffed gates on the Siena Golf Club fairway — five minutes from Downtown Summerlin and twelve minutes from Red Rock Canyon.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, ZIP code 89135 is one of the most actively traded luxury ZIP codes in Southern Nevada. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. The Howard Hughes Corporation master-planned Summerlin community continues expanding west, adding long-term infrastructure value to established Summerlin South addresses like Sun Colony. Red Rock Canyon's 195,819-acre conservation area is a 12-minute drive.
Sun Colony at Siena residents live on investment income, retirement distributions, and professional consulting — not commuter wages. The community's average household income exceeds $125,000 per community records. Downtown Summerlin's medical-office corridor, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center (10 minutes), and the valley's extensive specialist network make the location practical for active adults managing health care access alongside an active lifestyle.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Sun Colony at Siena vs. Southern California
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every retirement category. Nevada has no state income tax, no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration, and a 3% cap on primary-residence property-tax increases. The category that flips hardest: guard-gated 55+ golf living that starts near $700,000 in Sun Colony costs $2 million-plus behind comparable California gates.
| Metric | Sun Colony at Siena, NV | Southern California |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax on Retirement Income | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Guard-Gated 55+ Golf Home Entry | ~$700K | $2M+ (comparable gates) |

Sun Colony Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Executive leases inside Sun Colony are structurally scarce: 95% of Siena households own per community records, and Sun Colony's secondary gate keeps turnover even thinner. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas and further restricted by the Siena HOA — never underwrite vacation-rental income without reading the CC&Rs and current city rules first. For 5+ year retirement holds, scarcity and appreciation potential tilt decisively toward ownership.

Start Your Retirement Home SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to Sun Colony at Siena in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8–12 week timeline most Sun Colony buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Confirm HOPA compliance and set a budget
Verify that at least one buyer/resident will be 55+ at the time of occupancy — HOPA compliance is non-negotiable in Sun Colony. Then set a Sun Colony-specific budget: $700K entry to $1.3M+ for golf frontage, plus $200–$450+/mo HOA dues.
Get pre-approved — tier-aware
Homes above ~$766,550 require jumbo financing with 20–25% down plus liquid reserves. Conventional loans work for Sun Colony's entry tier. Have your lender qualify you at the specific purchase price before scheduling tours behind the dual gates.
Hire a Sun Colony specialist
Golf-frontage premiums, HOPA compliance, secondary-gate logistics, and limited comparable sales all require expert judgment. Work with an NREG agent who has tracked Sun Colony transactions and knows every floor plan.
Tour in person or virtually
All showings require advance gate-clearance coordination through the Siena guard gate. Our team arranges same-day access in most cases. Virtual tours work well for California and out-of-state buyers narrowing their shortlist before flying in.
Assess golf-frontage vs. interior lots
Fairway and water-feature lots in Sun Colony command a $50,000–$150,000 premium. Walk the lot at different times of day — golf-course noise and afternoon sun orientation are real quality-of-life factors our agents help you evaluate.
Inspection, HOA docs, and HOPA verification
Order the Siena resale package early: dues, reserve study, assessment history, CC&Rs, and the HOPA compliance records. Confirm the 55+ designation and any pending special assessments before you remove contingencies.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies; plan 30–45 days from acceptance to funding. Jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time — order the appraisal immediately after acceptance. Allow 5–7 days for HOA resale-package turnaround.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register gate transponders with the Siena HOA, enroll in the Siena Clubhouse, and handle the Nevada DMV — license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a Sun Colony home for five years nets out favorably versus leasing once principal paydown, appreciation, and the state income-tax savings are counted — and the owner walks away with substantial equity while the renter walks away with none. Nevada's zero income tax adds $10,000–$30,000+ per year in after-tax retirement income that effectively offsets HOA carrying costs.

Sun Colony at Siena FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Sun Colony at Siena Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the age requirement for Sun Colony at Siena?
Sun Colony at Siena is HOPA-qualified 55+: at least one resident per household must be 55 or older, and no permanent residents under 18 are permitted. The qualification is recorded in the Siena CC&Rs and enforced by the HOA. Buyers purchasing for family members should confirm compliance before writing — violations can cloud title and trigger HOA enforcement.
What is the median home price in Sun Colony at Siena?
The surrounding ZIP code 89135 carries a median list price near $900,000 across all Summerlin South listings per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Inside Sun Colony at Siena specifically, single-story luxury homes range from roughly $700,000 to $1.3 million-plus depending on floor plan, golf-course frontage, mountain views, and recent renovation quality — commanding a meaningful premium over the broader Siena community.
Is Sun Colony at Siena guard-gated?
Yes — doubly so. Residents pass through the main Siena guard gate (24-hour staffed entry with perimeter walls and roving patrols) and then a second interior gate exclusive to Sun Colony. This layered access makes Sun Colony the most private address within Siena and sets it apart from the broader 55+ Summerlin market, including the much larger Sun City Summerlin, which uses access-code entry only.
What are HOA fees in Sun Colony at Siena?
Siena HOA dues run approximately $200–$450 per month depending on section and floor plan; Sun Colony homes trend toward the upper end of the range, reflecting the secondary gate and premium common areas. Dues cover 24-hour guard-gate staffing, security patrols, front-yard landscaping maintenance, exterior painting on a scheduled rotation, and full Siena Clubhouse access. Request the full resale disclosure — dues, reserve study, assessment history — early in escrow.
What floor plans are available in Sun Colony at Siena?
Every Sun Colony home is single-story — the defining design principle of the entire Siena community. Floor plans in Sun Colony range from approximately 2,200 to 3,200+ square feet, the largest available in Siena. Typical features include open great-room layouts, 2–4 bedrooms, 2–3 bathrooms, gourmet kitchens, covered patios, 2–3-car garages, and desert-contemporary or Mediterranean architecture built by Shea Homes.
What amenities does the Siena Clubhouse offer Sun Colony residents?
The 30,000-square-foot Siena Clubhouse at 10575 Siena Monte Ave is included in all Sun Colony HOA dues. Amenities include an indoor lap pool, outdoor resort pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball courts, card rooms, arts-and-crafts studios, a demonstration kitchen, billiards, and a packed calendar of organized clubs, leagues, and social events — no separate membership fee required.
Does Sun Colony at Siena have golf-frontage homes?
Yes — several Sun Colony lots front the Siena Golf Club, the semi-private 18-hole course immediately adjacent to the community. Golf-frontage positions command a premium of roughly $50,000–$150,000 above comparable non-view lots per NREG transaction data, with the best fairway and water-feature lots at the top of that range. Residents also have short drives to TPC Summerlin and Angel Park Golf Club inside the broader Summerlin corridor.
What are property taxes like in Sun Colony at Siena?
Property taxes are low by national standards. The Clark County effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $900,000 Sun Colony home, that translates to approximately $4,500–$6,300 per year — a fraction of what retirees pay on comparable gated homes in coastal California or the Pacific Northwest.
What does Nevada's zero income tax mean for Sun Colony retirees?
Nevada levies no personal state income tax — retirees pay zero on Social Security income, pension distributions, IRA withdrawals, capital gains, and investment income at the state level. California's top marginal rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board; a Sun Colony retiree drawing $150,000 per year saves roughly $19,950 annually versus California. Combined with the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471, Sun Colony's carrying costs are among the most retiree-favorable in the Southwest.
How does Sun Colony at Siena compare to Regency at Summerlin?
Both are guard-gated 55+ luxury communities in Summerlin ZIP 89135, but differ in vintage and character. Sun Colony at Siena offers mature landscaping, larger single-story floor plans, Siena Golf Club frontage, and the established Siena Clubhouse. Regency at Summerlin by Toll Brothers is newer construction (2015–present) with a dedicated club and more contemporary architecture starting in the $500Ks. Sun Colony buyers prioritize golf views and mature character; Regency buyers want new-build finish quality.
Is Sun Colony at Siena a good fit for snowbird buyers?
Sun Colony is well-suited for extended-absence ownership: the HOA covers front-yard landscaping and exterior painting on a scheduled rotation, so homes maintain their condition while owners are away. Sun Colony's CC&Rs permit owner-occupied second homes; short-term rentals under 30 days are regulated by the City of Las Vegas and further restricted by the Siena HOA — never underwrite vacation-rental income without reviewing the current city rules and the resale package first.
How safe is Sun Colony at Siena?
Sun Colony combines two staffed guard gates, roving interior security patrols, perimeter walls, and the broader Siena 1,200-home community where neighbors know each other. The surrounding Summerlin South corridor in ZIP 89135 consistently ranks among the lowest-crime ZIP codes in the Las Vegas Valley per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data — buyers can benchmark the area themselves through publicly available UCR tools before writing an offer.
What drive times can Sun Colony residents expect?
Downtown Summerlin shopping and dining is roughly 5 minutes; Red Rock Canyon's 13-mile scenic loop is about 12 minutes; the Las Vegas Strip runs 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and I-15; Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 30 minutes south via I-215. Medical access is strong — Summerlin Hospital Medical Center sits about 10 minutes from the community gates.
What should I know before buying in Sun Colony at Siena?
Four things move real money here. First, HOPA compliance: confirm the 55+ qualification before you write. Second, HOA tiers: Sun Colony dues trend toward $450/mo — price total monthly carrying cost, not just the list price. Third, golf-lot premiums: fairway and water-feature positions carry a real premium; verify the specific lot orientation before you offer. Fourth, comparable valuation: with a modest number of homes, good comps require judgment — call (702) 637-1759 and we will pull the right sales before you write.

Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group is Nevada's #1 real estate team, with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85 billion in total volume.

What down payment do you need to buy in Sun Colony at Siena?
Most Sun Colony buyers put down 10–25%. Conventional financing works for homes under the conforming loan limit; larger floor plans and golf-frontage positions priced above ~$766,550 require jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus liquid reserves.

Most Sun Colony purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers, common at the golf-frontage tier, can close in 7–14 days.

What does an HOA cover in Sun Colony at Siena?
Sun Colony HOA dues (trending toward $450/mo) cover 24-hour staffed gate access at both the main Siena gate and the secondary Sun Colony gate, roving security patrols, front-yard landscaping maintenance, exterior painting on a scheduled rotation, common-area upkeep, and full Siena Clubhouse access — pools, fitness, tennis, pickleball, card rooms, and the full social calendar. Always pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve study, assessment history — early in escrow.

Siena is the broader 55+ master plan with 1,200+ homes across four sub-sections. Sun Colony at Siena is the most upscale of those four sections — featuring the largest floor plans (2,200–3,200+ SF), its own secondary guard gate inside the main Siena gate, golf-course frontage on the Siena Golf Club, and the highest prices in the community. All Sun Colony residents are also full Siena community members.
Can I rent out my Sun Colony at Siena home?
Long-term rentals (30 days or longer) are generally permitted by the Siena HOA, subject to the HOPA age qualification applying to tenants — the renting occupant must also meet the 55+ requirement. Short-term rentals under 30 days are regulated by the City of Las Vegas and further restricted by the Siena CC&Rs — never underwrite short-term rental income without reading both the city rules and the governing documents first.
