I love how much safer it is to live here. Even though the strip gives us a certain reputation, our city has the resources it needs to protect us. I also love how diverse we are! Nevada is an incredible mix of cultures from all over the world! You won’t meet anyone who looks exactly like anyone else, and I love that! However, my favorite thing about Henderson is our churches! We are home to incredible houses of worship, from Central Church to my favorite, Church LV! These amazing Christian voices are raising up a generation of Nevadans who can bring light back into Sin City!
Loved Henderson but the cost of living is rising ! Lived in Henderson for 2 years, you really get a suburb feel, it’s away from a lot of commotion (Las Vegas). Many things to do if you have kids, they have indoor playgrounds/bounce houses and beautiful parks. If you like to work out there’s many parks with trails. Traffic can get hectic although.. It is extremely hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Always sunny and bright out. Great place to live if you don’t want to live directly in Las Vegas and like a more calm area. Well up kept city!
Based on what my mom tells me, we practically live on the invisible border that separates Henderson from Las Vegas, just for clarification. It's a lot better than any of the other neighborhoods I've lived in. There's a Galaxy Theater right behind my place and a little central hub that has a small casino and stores, food hangouts, and ice cream! It's a cozy little area, and there's even a spot that helps you find a job if you're having trouble locating/applying. My mom and I visited once, and the workers there are all very helpful.
It's a nice place, and there's an inside joke among the community about the police. Since the crime rate in Henderson is substantially lower compared to its neighbors, they really have nothing to do but cruise. So if there ever IS an incident, even as small as a neighbor dispute, expect to see like 4 or 5 police cars. They are ALWAYS ready for the job.
