Retiring to Las Vegas
Las Vegas draws retirees for reasons beyond the weather: no state income tax, no tax on Social Security or retirement income, and a wide range of 55+ communities across the valley. Here’s what to weigh as you plan the move.
55+ Communities
Sun City Summerlin and Sun City Anthem are the two best-known age-restricted communities in the valley, each with their own amenities, clubs, and price points. Smaller 55+ developments exist throughout Henderson and the northwest as well.
Healthcare Access
The valley has multiple hospital systems and a growing number of specialists, though some retirees still travel to nearby states for certain specialized care. It’s worth researching your specific needs before committing to a neighborhood far from a major hospital.
Nevada’s Tax Advantages
No state income tax means your pension, 401(k) withdrawals, and Social Security go further here than in many other states. Property taxes in Nevada are also relatively low compared to the national average.
