Henderson:
the easy
side of the valley
Nevada's second-largest city, Henderson has built its own identity: master-planned neighborhoods, serious parks, strong schools, lake and view living, and one of the state's best concentrations of 55+ communities. Here is how its parts compare.
Planned,
practical, pretty
Henderson spreads along the valley's southeast, from the 215 ring road down toward Lake Mead and the McCullough Range. It is Nevada's second-largest city, and it shows in the range of choices: first homes in Inspirada, family neighborhoods in Green Valley, custom estates in MacDonald Highlands and resort-style living at Lake Las Vegas.
Henderson also has the valley's deepest 55+ bench: Sun City Anthem, Sun City MacDonald Ranch, Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas and more, which makes it a first stop for a lot of downsizers and retirees.
