Daily life and amenities
Parks and trails
Both master plans emphasize outdoor living. In Seven Hills, neighborhood parks such as Puccini Park and Sonata Park serve as local gathering spots. In Anthem, Anthem Hills Park and the Anthem East trailhead connect you to wide-open desert scenery and looped paths. For public park features and updates, check the City’s Parks & Trails directory.
Golf options
If golf is a priority, both areas deliver. Seven Hills wraps around the public Rio Secco Golf Club, designed by Rees Jones, which helps define many view lots and estate streets. Learn more about the course on the Rio Secco Golf Club page.
Anthem offers a private, member-owned country club with a championship course designed by Hale Irwin and Keith Foster, plus fitness, pools, racquet sports, and dining. Membership is separate from HOA dues; see the club’s details on the Anthem Country Club membership page.

Commute and connectivity
Both areas are car-oriented. Common routes include I-215, St. Rose Parkway, and Eastern Avenue. Typical travel to the Las Vegas Strip often ranges from about 15 to 30 minutes depending on your destination and traffic.
