Frequently Asked Questions: Las Vegas 55+ Golf Communities

What is the "80/20 Rule" in Las Vegas active adult communities?
Under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), at least 80% of the homes in an age-restricted community must be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older. This ensures the community maintains its "Active Adult" status and lifestyle focus.

Can my grandchildren visit or stay with me in a gated 55+ community?
Yes! Most Las Vegas gated senior communities allow guests of all ages. Typically, grandchildren or younger family members can stay for up to 30 days per calendar year, though specific HOA rules vary by neighborhood.

What do HOA fees typically cover in a golf course community?
In a Las Vegas golf community, your monthly or quarterly HOA fees generally cover 24/7 guard-gate security, maintenance of common areas and landscaping, and access to resort-style amenities like clubhouses, pools, and fitness centers.

Do I get a discount on tee times if I live on the golf course?
While many communities like Sun City Summerlin offer resident-only rates, some courses are "private," requiring a separate membership, while others are "semi-private" or public. Rick Goretski can help you identify which communities offer the best golf perks for your specific handicap and budget.

Is Las Vegas a tax-friendly city for retirees?
Absolutely. Nevada is one of the most tax-friendly states for seniors because it has no state income tax. This includes no tax on Social Security benefits, 401(k) withdrawals, or private pensions, allowing your retirement nest egg to go much further.
