I've lived in numerous areas throughout the USA. I consider Henderson home though I've lived in other areas for longer periods of time. As with any place, there are things that you want to change or improve but there is no "perfect" place and, for me, Henderson is the best place I've Read More

Henderson is a great place to live! - 3/16/2008
I lived in Henderson, just southeast of Las Vegas for about a year and a half. It was about a 10 minute drive to the Strip. There were tons of restaurants, shopping, and everything you could want to do right there in my neighborhood. The cost of living is pretty high, and real estate is expensive, but the area is growing and developing every day and you're sure to get what you pay for a house back (and then some!)

The weather is great and Henderson is safer than living in Vegas itself! I would recommend this lovely town to anyone looking for a fun, exciting place to Read More

Henderson: don't move here...majority of people wi - 8/30/2007
Hotter than crap May--Sept. Plan on staying inside during the long hot summer days. Really sucks unless you are at one of the EXTREMELY crowded recreation centers or water parks.
FALL, Winter, Spring are great, but kids are in school and all that summer vaction is over...wasted on avoiding the hot temp.
Economy is good, but the cost of living here goes up up up every year. Power bill in summer can be 350+ per month, car insurance is a complete joke, and registration for your car is a nightmare.
Lake Mead is starting to look like a pond.
Public Education here is some of the worst in the country. Low graduation rate. High schools have higher than a verage lack of parental involvment than other places I've lived...SOUTHERN UTAH.
Extremely high transient rate..people move here and leave all the time..hmmm I wonder why??? This adds up to a horable scense of cummunity and neighborhood involvment.
The city paints a very misleading picture with all of Read More
