Great Place To Live
Hi, I have lived in Henderson since 1980 except for a 10 year period in Pahrump, NV. I believe Henderson to be a great city. Lots of parks and places to play and ride bikes. Close to all kinds of outdoor activities from boating to hiking in the mountains. If you have kids the schools in Henderson are much better than Las Vegas even though they are in the same school district. Nevada as a state doesn't have a very good reputation for education. I think it's the overall culture and participation by parents in Henderson that make it better. Henderson has the best Parks and Recreation in the valley. Lots of low cost and free activities for all ages. I hope you don't mind lots of wind, gets very windy here. I always feel safe here, even in the lower income neighborhoods. The biggest negative to moving to Southern Nevada is the poor medical. Lots of hospitals but a large shortage of Doctors. Most of the really good ones are not taking new patients.
