- Homeowners at Del Webb in Lake Las Vegas allege poor construction quality
- A notable attorney in Las Vegas is preparing a class action lawsuit against the contractor of the community
Since 2020, a significant number of individuals relocated to Las Vegas and Southern Nevada, attracted by favorable tax conditions and a thriving economy driven by tourism and gaming, though the latter sector has seen a decline in 2025. If you’re considering making the move, the experiences of a group of homeowners in an upscale gated community should give you pause.
In a pending legal action, several homeowners assert that the properties they acquired in Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas were constructed poorly and hastily. Under Nevada law, homeowners must allow builders 90 days to address any complaints about a new property.
Attorney Norberto Cisneros, representing five dissatisfied homeowners, communicated with FOX5 Las Vegas about the ongoing issues.
“They believed they purchased a beautiful home but ended up with a problematic one. Drywall cracking has been repaired multiple times, yet the issue persists and exacerbates,” Cisneros explained to FOX5 about a residence bought for $1.3 million.
Cisneros possesses extensive experience in handling class action lawsuits relating to construction defects and real estate conflicts. He is preparing to file a class action suit for the affected Del Webb Lake Las Vegas homeowners.
Located in Henderson, Lake Las Vegas is approximately 14 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip.
PulteGroup, the construction company behind Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas, defends its building practices.
“We affirm the quality of our homes. We are actively involved with homeowners to evaluate their concerns and to address any warranty repairs needed,” the company stated.
Issues in the Las Vegas Housing Market
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Nevada saw an influx of nearly 400,000 new residents through 2023, with many settling in Southern Nevada, particularly in Clark County, which encompasses Las Vegas and Henderson.
The state offers various advantages, including the absence of a state income tax. In contrast, California has state income tax rates as high as 13.1%. With over 320 sunny days a year, Nevada’s climate is also a significant draw.
In the wake of the pandemic, Las Vegas experienced rapid growth fueled by pent-up demand for entertainment and travel, combined with federal stimulus efforts that boosted casino revenues and consumer spending. This led to a wave of working-class families relocating from California, seeking a better cost of living and employment opportunities.
Additionally, Nevada has become increasingly popular with retirees and seniors seeking active lifestyles. Del Webb, known for its communities catering to older adults, anticipated this migration to Southern Nevada just prior to the pandemic.
Construction of the Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas began in 2019, resulting in a master-planned community comprising 461 single-story family homes, divided into three distinct collections. The intended plaintiffs represented by Cisneros are homeowners from the most upscale Collection III, noted for their spacious and luxurious properties.
The Legacy of Del Webb in Las Vegas
Del Webb has historical roots in Las Vegas.
Originally commissioned by mobster Bugsy Siegel in the 1940s to construct the Flamingo hotel and casino, Webb later acquired the Sahara Nevada Corporation, which operated the Sahara and the now-defunct Mint properties. The Mint’s legacy continues within Binion’s on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.
