Current Resident: I like the surplus of shopping centers and activities available in the area. The walkability of the suburb is 10x better than that of Anaheim, CA. I don’t like the amount of street dividers and homeless people roaming the streets.... Read 262 reviews

Niche User: It is a very nice area in which I live in. Everything I really need is conveniently placed around me, I am close to my job, and the neighborhood is very nice. There is not a lot of crime around my part of town, so it is very reassuring knowing that I live in such a safe place. Everyone in the neighborhood is also very friendly which puts me at ease when I decide to go outside and walk my dog or play with my siblings. Its a nice place to live, and I hope we will be staying here for a very long time.... Read 2 reviews

Niche User: Las Vegas has become a home and family to be all in itself. Because I've went to three different high schools, (Centennial, Silverado & Bonanza, respectively) I've gotten to know all parts of the city (Henderson included into Las Vegas) and seen how it differentiates from other sides of town. If you pick a right place, Vegas is not as bad a city as some people claim it to be. If anything, it gives you a lot more options and opportunities that you would actually never find in smaller/other cities in the United States. It's fairly clean for how many drunks and wanderers there are, but overall the atmosphere is a civilized society where you can get to know people from all over the world and encounter personalities you would never expect to meet....

Current Resident: This is seriously the best area in Vegas now. Henderson is now aging and has run out of room for new developments (not to mention that the mountains on our side of town are much prettier!). I'm surrounded by horse ranches, lots of nature, empty space, and new buildings/infrastruture/developments. People are nice and respectful here. Summerlin is the #1 target for criminals because of it's high-profile (not to mention filled with angry/pill-popping/drunk types). I'm so glad that I moved here instead of Summerlin or Henderson!...

Niche User: The atmosphere of the area is generally clean as far as appearance. No homes are run down and people take good care of their homes. However, it is so hot, and many areas must keep the houses looking the same, so the homes themselves are not very individual or unique to others. I would choose to live here again however, because the homes and the people are nice and there are not a lot of scary crimes or discomfort in this area. The area is continuing to expand with houses and people so it will continue to grow into an even better living environment.... Read 28 reviews

Current Resident: It's been a wonderful experience living here so far! The people are nice, and the location is perfect. It only takes me ten minutes to walk to the lake and five minutes to walk to restaurants. I also love just how close I am to the outdoors! A trail head is no more than a ten minute drive away. The scenery is breathtaking. The way the sun sets on the lake and gives off an alpine glow as it reflects off the mountains. like a burning crimson fire that's slowly fading into the dark....

Current Resident: I thoroughly researched all neighborhood in Henderson and decided on Green Valley South. There is less traffic here, better schools and so many trees! This is the best neighborhood in the Las Vegas Area. Everyone is so much nicer here than in California. I may have just moved here in March, but I have considered this my home since 2014. I am also lucky enough to work here, too!... Read 14 reviews

Already being a city full of people that attend burning man, there are always new events and businesses to participate in all of the time. Whether it be artistic, fitness, music, or many other arenas, I have enjoyed growing up here and seeing it flourish.... Read 1,096 reviews

Niche User: I rarely have any issues in our neighborhood, but just recently we did have two policemen knocking on our door late at night. One of our neighbors called 911 due to a couple of strange men knocking on their door around 10p.m. claiming that their car broke down and started asking weird questions about our neighborhood. The police showed up immediately but by the time they arrived, the men had disappeared and no vehicle anywhere near seemed to be broken down. The police knocked on our door because we forgot to close our garage door and they just wanted to inform us of what had happened and also to make sure that nothing had been taken from our garage....

Current Resident: I love living in Las Vegas but hate their healthcare system's limited healthcare plans and the expensive out of pocket costs you have to pay if not employed traditionally (salaried through the company you work for). Car insurance here is horrifically expensive, too. Basically, anything relating to insurance or housing has gone continually downhill since moving here a number of years ago. However, one cannot knock the community planning as far as parks go. There are a ton of parks, and dog parks, of all kinds, all over. There's always something to do, for adults, as well as for families. The arts scene is always happening despite the gentrification driving out many creatives from the arts district. There is also a reliable bus transit system that has saved me more than once when my car was in the shop. If you're a foodie, they have anything you could ever think of. If you don't mind spending most of the year indoors to survive the heat, this 24-hour city is for you!... Read 2,931 reviews

Niche User: There is never a dull moment in Henderson, Nevada. If I would have to do it all over again, I would not choose to live anywhere else. The amazing sense of community and overall happy enviornment makes Henderson a spectacular place to live. Henderson is also a great town for families because it is rated as one of the top ten safest cities in the country. It is definitley a town I would like to live in and raise my future family in....

Current Resident: I love the town of Gardnerville. We lived in South lake tahoe for many years and made the move to gardnerville 8 years ago. I agree that there are a ton of conservative people as there is with most small towns across america, but most aren't forcing their opinions on you, I am not overly sensitive, and dont need to be surrounded by people who think like me. Not much to do, but you have Lake tahoe, Reno and Carson city close by. You have plenty of off roading in the area for atv/utv use, hiking and other outdoor activities. There are plenty of jobs in the area, but most are not high paying. This really is an excellent community for retirees and people who work from home. Gardnerville is a very clean town without vandalism and graffiti, neighborhoods are all kept very clean, they also have community clean ups for the blm land. People are moving here from California and driving the prices of homes up, so it's harder to find a place to live.... Read 25 reviews

Niche User: The area where I live, Henderson, is my favorite place in the whole world. I have an amazing family, go to an amazing school and in Henderson with it being so close to Las Vegas, about 10 minutes away, there is infinite things you can do. My family and I always go to a place called The District. It is a very fun and comfortable place filled with shops, restaurants, salons, etc. Aside from that, my personal neighborhood is very lovely and so close to my school and many grocery stores, restaurants, smoothie shops, and so much more. I love the place where I live and I would never want to leave.... Read 46 reviews

Current Resident: Hands down possibly the best area to raise a family in the LV Valley with UNMATCHED amenities. Tons of parks & trails; shopping at the District with top tier retail & eateries; high-end GVR Casino w/adjacent amenities & theater; good mix of excellent public/charter/private schools; HPD police substation centrally located - extremely safe area; MultiGen Center; PV Library w/cafe; several higher-end gated communities retaining their value; 10 min to airport; 15 min to Strip, but no spillover; and, drumroll please, the Dollar Loan Center which provides AHL action, indoor arena football, G-League basketball, NCAA tournaments, and an impressive family-friendly sports bar/restaurant. Find a house within walking distance to most of the above in GVR, and you have just scored BIG TIME. There are many nice communities in LV/Henderson, but none can deliver all of the above......

Current Resident: I like the Sparks-Reno area as a person that has lived there for about 4 years now. It is a city in a sense that there are plenty of stores for most things you can think of as well as plenty of recreational activities to participate in. Tahoe is only about an hour away so that it always a plus. But despite being a city, the area doesn't feel too overwhelming, such as a city like Los Angeles. The only downside is there are certainly parts of the Reno-Sparks area that are more developed than others.... Read 342 reviews

Former Resident: I love Summerlin. There is so much to do, so many great restaurants to eat at. Another great thing about Summerlin is how many parks there are to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. I would have to say my favorite spot to visit is Downtown Summerlin. Downtown Summerlin is an outdoor shopping mall that has a farmers market on the weekend and is always decorated and maintained in a way to create an amazing atmosphere to be around with the family....

Current Resident: Carson City has a wonderful small town vibe. Downtown is home to the state capitol and many small businesses. Some of the best food you will find is in downtown Carson! Carson City is the perfect town to access multiple different hiking/walking/biking trails. The mountains are all around you. There is the perfect amount of snow in the winter; not too much and not too little. There are four seasons to enjoy as well. Lake Tahoe is about 1 hour away and is incredibly beautiful. The biggest little city, Reno, is only 30 minutes away for all of your city needs.... Read 171 reviews

Current Resident: Henderson is a wonderful place to live for many reasons. For one, it's a very safe community with a low crime rate, which gives residents peace of mind. Additionally, the city has a lot of amenities, including great schools, parks, and shopping centers. Henderson is also known for its beautiful outdoor spaces, like the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which offer plenty of opportunities for hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities. Finally, Henderson is located just a short drive from Las Vegas, which means residents have access to all the entertainment, dining, and nightlife options that the city has to offer. All of these factors combine to make Henderson a great place to call home.... Read 533 reviews

Current Resident: I've been living in Whitney and it's been a good experience because there isn't bad things that are happening and its a safe area to live. I really like how there's stores and restaurants close by. My family and I, sometimes walk to the store and it feels safe to do so. My mom and I also go running at night and yeah, sometimes it does get scary but the people are nice and thank God nothing bad has happened. One thing that I would change would be to put fmore ligs...
