Moved to Henderson 2 years ago. Unless we move back to Florida, I'm not leaving Henderson. Las Vegas & Summerlin don't compare. I love it here!
I enjoy living in Henderson,Nevada. I moved here for the charter schools and parks.
So glad you’re enjoying! Any additional advice you’d give for those considering moving to Henderson?
In the Atlanta suburbs since 2014. Will be selling our house and moving back west in 24 or 25…my husband is from Los Angeles and we’ve visited the Vegas Valley numerous times. We do like Henderson and are considering that area as well. Thanks for your info! We miss the dryer weather and outdoors life. My husband loves the Vegas heat in summer. I will manage….lol.
I am so THANKFUL for finding this channel. I am HIGHLY considering coming back this coming summer.
My children literally, no exaggeration....ask me everyday if we can move back. Thank you for all this good info AND for promoting community 🙏❤️
Sounds like it’s time to come on back!! 👏🏾👏🏾 we’d love to help if we can.
Glad I found this channel. My husband and I are talking about a move here in 24. We actually looked at Henderson!
I should be a part of you guys group #BlackHenderson I’ve been Black all my life 😂 and living in Hendo for 6 years now!!! I’m soooo glad I found this video. I’m originally from Atlanta and I LOVE it here!! I’m trying to convince my best friend to move here, she’s also from Atlanta and she’s afraid that there isn’t enough “culture” here for her and her children to vibe and thrive. I hope you guys can help me convince her. Thanks for being so informative!! ❤
Thanks for watching Ron! And yes, please join the group! The members there are wonderful! You also might want to invite your friend too. That way, she can ask questions, check out discussions, and I’m sure many of our members will help convince her to make the move! 😉 ~Nicci
As a Black person, we don't want the area yo get flooded with black people. Then it will turn into an Atlanta and be a total waste.
Very informative, I love this video, I’m black and it’s good to know I can see people that look like me it gives a sense of community and also I’m so happy you guys touched on the education system because I also have kids and making sure they get a great education is something very important to me, so we’ll be visiting out there and I would love to work with you guys

I’m highly considering Vegas for sure!
Why is that very important to you?
Are you guys doing Vegas vlogs or content ? Will there be a channel for it ? I’d def subscribe
That’s a good question! We are mostly sticking to real estate at the moment. But who knows, if enough people want to see it, ☺️we just might! Thanks for the feedback!
Henderson is gorgeous. I lived in Henderson - McDonald Ranch on Eastern. Loved it there!
It is a beautiful community.

Thank you for subscribing!!
I was iffy about relocating there. This video has been very informative
Thank you.
Hi thank you for a nice video. My family and I are considering relocating out there for a change of scenery. Been in FL too long. I would love to join your FB group to get more insight on opportunities. Thank you again for your video.
Hi! Absolutely! Here’s the link to the group. Everyone is so helpful!
facebook.com/groups/blackhenderson/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Thinking about making the move from Dallas next year! I’m really interested in hearing more about the nightlife and date night opportunities OFF the strip lol.
Checkout our latest podcast. Inspired by you!
Good evening, I had been contemplating a move to Henderson should things align for me this year in the areas needed, it is one of the cities I looked into among others in the Las Vegas Valley. I have family that also lives in the Las Vegas Valley but some also live in Henderson, which is one of the towns I was in during my visit this past summer in Vegas.
Really enjoyed the video, the presentation and the energy of you two in the video! I am a new sub as well!! Enjoy your weekend
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I’m glad you liked Vegas. We visited several times before we moved here. It really was the best decision for our family. Hoping things align for you and that you’ll be our neighbor!
@@TheWillisTeamLV thank you so much for your encouraging words and sharing your honest impressions of the move there from the Midwest. I’m from Chicago originally but living in NYC for last 12 years. Definitely I feel I’ve reached the book end with NYC living and got it out my system 😆 yes hopefully things will align for me and soon to make Nevada and Henderson NV my home 🏠 enjoy the weekend
@@TheWillisTeamLV i thought Cincinnati was always a beautiful scenic Midwestern city and I believe you all mentioned being from that area originally. I had considered there also but outside of Cincy more so. Used to be there every summer to go up to Kings Island 😂
@@damoncheatumel5139 good ol’ Kings Island! One of the best things about Cincinnati! Lol if you’re from Chicago, you’ll feel right at home. There are TONS of people from Chicago, Cleveland, and Indy.
@@TheWillisTeamLV that is great to hear!!! Looking forward to getting back out that way soon! Enjoy the weekend!
Thanks for sharing! Moving soon from Atlanta. Researching Henderson and Summerlin, definitely interested in charter/private schools plus daycare facilities. This is great that you all have started something for our people!
Not on Facebook, is there another way to connect with Black Henderson?
Hi! Looking forward to having you! While our Facebook group is the best way to get recommendations from many of our awesome members, you can visit our website www.blackhendersonnv.com and sign up for our mailing list. We will have a directory on there soon. Also visit Greatschools.org. We have found that it’s the best website to give you unbiased ratings of the schools (public and private) here in Las Vegas. Hope this helps! And if you’d like to chat more, feel free to book a call with me and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! ~Nicci
@@TheWillisTeamLV thanks Nicci. We will visit the webpage and sign up. Yes, think a call would be beneficial, we have so many questions! Will start out with reviewing resources and link with you from there, schools are our number one question- specifically private/charter.
Charter/ private doesn’t equal better. In fact it could be less regulated. Charter still receives Block Grants from the government where as Private is funded by individuals and donors. It’s not the teachers who are bad. Many times it’s the students acting disrespectful to teachers and interrupting class no matter where it is. Parents are not parenting or just lack the skills- then send their I’ll manager Ed children to school who disrupt others and act violent. It’s heartbreaking. Doesn’t matter where you are. Wealth and having Class are not synonymous. You can have class and little money.
Me & my girl plan on moving to vegas to take a chance with our custom clothing business whenever our lease is up in November. We would like to find a storefront for our business & a place to stay. We was concerned about where does black people live at in vegas as well. Glad we came across your page.
How can I contact you about getting more information so I can prepare myself? Thanks
Absolutely! Here’s our calendar. Feel free to book a time that works for you both and we’ll be happy to share our experience and answer questions you have. thewillisteamlv.as.me/relocation
Man yall gonna mess it up. Go to North Las Vegas. Lots of black people there.
I was just in Vegas visiting and now I'm already planning a move. I love Vegas and hope to meet y'all one day soon 🎉
I'm moving to Henderson because I hear it's quiet and safe. I couldn't give one care about how many of what race lives where, so long as I'm around good people, a community strong culture, and the neighborhood looks nice (i.e. people respect their surroundings and neighbors, etc).
One point of contention. I do not believe "Black is not a color, it's a culture". Black people exist all over the world and practice in innumerable cultures. For instance, I detest the phrase "African American" because you can have a man from Nigeria who is more likely to act completely different than a "Black" person from, say Oakland California. And Black people from different parts of the US have either completely different cultures or subsets of Black American cultures. For instance, Black people in New York City might get treated like aliens in Atlanta Georgia. Or a Black person from Egypt, England, or Syria visiting any other Black neighborhood in the US.
"Being Black" isn't an ideology, a culture, or some kind of dogmatic way of living. Sure, there are a lot of commonalities among a greater culture that's shared among a type of people (i.e. "race"). Such as Hispanic or Latino people may have an overall shared culture, but Mexicans differ from Hondurans, Spaniards, or Italians. Plus, people who live in the US are not called "Brown" people or say "Brown is a culture".
I think a lot of people have turned "being Black" into a fetish and want it to exist in only a certain way, so that they can lay claim to it, as if it's some kind of birthright, which seems to be a little flawed to say the least.
And this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Black American culture. I love the people, the food, and the traditions. I hope that when I move to Henderson, I'll make a lot of Black friends and I hope y'all include me in some gatherings/outings, etc, just as I would to you all.
Peace and love.
Consider a move. This is helpful. I may be coming up to check it out soon.
Hello! Just subscribed🥰
Senior AA female who has been in Henderson going on 3 years. Friends I met here have now relocated elsewhere, and would love to network with your group and meet new people. Not on Facebook anymore, is there another way to get in contact with the group? Thanks.

Me and the wife are looking to retire in a🙏 couple of years. I'm thinking about Charlotte, Phoenix or Las Vegas area. Thank you for sharing information about Henderson Nevada,🙏
I’m looking at the same places for relocation in less than 3 years. What have you found out about all 3? I’m finding it very hard to find out things about Phoenix and black culture.
I have been in Vegas for 10 plus years, but Henderson for 5 years AND VERY TRUE, the views of the strip from here, if you are lucky. We just have the best location, 15, straight to Cali, right near freeway and strip depending on location. Nice luxury hotel, plus several others.
Thanking about move to NV, but am in the healthcare field… I have a 18 year and a 2 year boys.? Is Green Valley a great place to leave ?
From our personal experience we love Green Valley. It gives a suburban feel. It’s a great location to raise a family. There are tons of places to shop. There are just as many restaurants. It’s also very close to the highway so you are only about 10 minutes from the airport (for reference).
I’m black man Gen Z 22 years old looking to move to the Vegas area in the future. I’m a single father of a little girl so this was informative will keep Henderson on my list thank you.
We're so glad you came across our channel! What other things would you like to know about to help you with your move?
My husband and I just moved to Henderson in the green valley area. We love it. We need to find you out on the streets!
Definitely. Did you join the Facebook group yet?
Did you purchase your home or are you renting? I am looking to move this June from Cali to Henderson. If you are renting who did you go through?
@@TheWillisTeamLV I am looking for a rental in Henderson
@@farahdepalm2784 Let's schedule an appointment to chat. thewillisteamlv.as.me/
Thank you I set up something for this evening at 5pm. Thanks for the quick response.
Hey yall just stumbled upon your video. My family and I currently live in Chicago we’re thinking about moving to Henderson in another year right before my son starts high school. Do your children have other black students in their classes? I know you said there’s 6% blacks that make up the population but wondering what the student population looks like.
Thanks so much for your question. The schools that my children attend and attended (one graduated) were predominantly white with a mixed ethnic population (meaning mostly white but they are also Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Indians, etc.). I would say the 6% at least from my kids schools is pretty accurate. There are black children that go to the schools and they both had and have black friends at their schools. They are/were also both part of the black student organizations in their schools. Coming from Cincinnati and the school district they came from. It was a bit of a culture shock but they have been thriving. And I also don’t mind coming up to the school for ANY reason. 😇 ~Nicci
Stay in Chicago. Don't bring that shit here ruining our neighborhoods. North Las Vegas might be better for you.
I am planning on moving my family from California, what areas in Henderson are best for African American community.
As Realtors we can only give you our personal experience. But I highly recommend you check out and join the Black Henderson FB group. The members are so helpful and 😂they WILL keep it real with you. Just ask your question there! Many of our members have made their decisions to move because of the help from the group. ☺️Hope this helps! ~Nicci

I’m glad black people are there living there cause I’m not moving nowhere where me and my son can’t see people who look like us.
I had to Google where Henderson was, the state could've been mentioned cause I was lost initially
Funny thing is I live in California and I was just thinking this thing today hahahaha too funny
Ha! So funny! Well, come on and be our neighbor! We specialize in relocations.
Stay in California and keep your crappy policies there too. LOL
Ima bout to move out LV from Philly
Sounds good. Let's welcome you to the West Coast!
We don’t have a realtor yet but are serious about purchasing around west Horizon Ridge area, we have 4 In the family, my husband is black, the other family members are white, where does that place us. A little confusing, we don’t run into whether someone is black or white issues at all in Henderson but enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the feedback! The Horizon Ridge area is a great area for families. Close to parks, shopping, nice schools, yet still close enough to the highway where you can access everything.
what part of henderson ?
hey i graduate soon and i’m hoping to move to henderson, can i ask some questions? i currently live in houston
Hi! Of course you can! We’re always in the comments or, if you have more personal questions, feel free to book a chat! We’ll be happy to answer them. thewillisteamlv.as.me/relocation
I’m looking to move to Henderson next month but need help in renting , with low score any suggestions
Thanks for reaching out! Okay, sounds good! We've noticed that privately owned rentals that we have access to on the MLS (multiple listing service) in Vegas are asking for higher credit scores 625+, no evictions, no felonies, and income that is 3x the rent you want to pay. If you find that you don't meet 1 or more of these requirements, you might want to try apartment complexes as they could more likely work with you in exchange for a higher deposit. Start by googling the zip codes you're interested in. Hope this helps!
~Nicci
@@TheWillisTeamLV thank you I will try apartment complex I’m waiting on two properties to get back to me then I will let you know how it goes
Hello Guys, how is the wildlife in Henderson? Are snakes bad in the area?
You don’t hear about snakes more than you hear about scorpions. We also have coyotes, displaced by new construction. I wouldn’t say it’s worse than any other city dealing with wildlife. For instance, in Cincinnati, we had wolves, mice and snakes that were displaced by new construction. None of it has prevented us from enjoying the outdoors. The weather right now is perfect!! Hope this helps.
What is the cost of living in Henderson? What is the price range for a 3 bedroom townhouse? or a 3 bedroom house?
HI! Great question. The cost of living in Nevada (today) is about 11% higher than the national average. I share it that way because it's relative depending on the city from which you're relocating. To put it in perspective, California is about 47% higher. As far as pricing, we would need a bit more information from you to give a more accurate answer. Feel free to book a call with us. We'd be happy to assist! thewillisteamlv.as.me/
I wanna move to Vegas in 23 or 24. Definitely want y'all help on moving there.
Wonderful! Looking forward to serving you! Feel free to visit our website www.thewillisteamlv.com and sign up on our email list so we can keep in touch until you’re ready.
Nice video how is the hair braiding business there? I’m a hairstylist I will love to move to Las Vegas
@@divasworld5503 if you’re great at promoting your business and networking you can do quite well here. Might I suggest some visiting appointments to establish some clientele and see what you think!
To be honest I haven’t a seen any blacks outside of the hospital scene except 4 black men with white wives so I was a little worried LOL as they all were staring at me like I was a ghost! 😫I just got her to Henderson from East Coast (Virginia) 1 week ago and this video popped up out of nowhere 🧐🤔 God is good 🏠 😉 🙏🏿so I will join the group..a hospital entity got me here where I’m working in the ER at night..I haven’t been here long but I jogged 3 different wonderful parks in the 8 days being here so you are telling the truth about the parks..I so love the gated community! bless you both and see you all in the FB group..
I just signed up for consult with your real estate group
Well, 😃WELCOME HOOOOOOME! I’m so glad you found this video helpful. I think you’ll find our Black Henderson members even more helpful! Feel free to ask questions, get recommendations, and search past posts to help you get plugged into the community. ~Nicci
Haha. I love it. Same, my family thinks Lake Mead is creepy, because they are used to MKE grass. Yes, we do have black people, but far and few. Maybe in the next few years, that will change as milennials are making families and becoming homeowners. It grows on you, so don´t fret. There is soooo much peace, especially in Green Valley, Whitney Ranch, Mac Donald ranch, Henderson, etc.
I live in New York and I’m so OVER IT. Searching for other places enjoying your videos
Come on over to Vegas!!😃
Is there anything you'd like to know that would help you in your decision?
I think in north las vegas,espicially by the military base. Amen
Nobody talks about water for the most part
We’re here in Inspirada
Hey there!! Lots of building going on in Inspirada!! I love it over there.
Would you say that there is a central area, because we have lived in Henderson for about 4 years and now looking to purchase a home and it would be nice to have Black Neighbors :)
I would say there is a "central area". "WE" are everywhere but very spaced out. The fact is, Henderson is only made up of 6% black people (census from 2020). So I wouldn't place your bets on it. So the next best thing is to find what location best works for you. For some its proximity to a certain school. Others is proximity to work or the airport or to have their home in close proximity to shopping. Then, you can always find your tribe at Black Henderson events. We have happy hours at the Penalty Box the 1st Thursday of every month. November's is coming up next week!! Hope this helps!
Do you have any rental properties in Henderson?
Hi! All of our rentals are occupied but there are rentals available in Henderson. Let's set up a chat so we can talk about what you're looking and. your timeline. Here's my calendar. Feel free to book a time that works for you when you're ready. thewillisteamlv.as.me/Nicciwillis
Where are the McDonald Country Club? Ascaya? Blue Heron Homes?
They are located in MacDonald Highlands. That’s zip code 89012.
Do black people live in Summerlin? North Las Vegas?
Oh yes! Everybody lives everywhere in Vegas. We’re just able to talk about our personal experience. ~Nicci
Can't wait till media and agenda of race is never brought up because most people don't care about race as long as we work to a successful community and country. Just five to a place u like first a quality of life and talk and enjoy all races, that's what makes a neighborhood beautiful
I think it’s interesting how you comment that most people “don’t care” about race yet you then want everyone to “enjoy all races”…which one is it? I also think that people who comment negatively on this video either A. haven’t watched it in its entirety or B. do not understand or care to understand about Black Culture. What about Black Culture or the Black Community as a whole makes you feel so uncomfortable that you felt the need to post about calling it an “agenda”? The alarming solution you brought to this conversation speaks to why we as the Black community still need safe spaces; to be seen, heard, appreciated, and to feel safe. ✌🏾

The question is, do black people live in Boulder City?! 🙄more folk should. ❤
You’re right, Boulder City is beautiful. It gives small town vibes with great outdoor activities right in your backyard! I love the shopping, restaurants and parks. And it’s only about 30-40 mins from the heart Vegas. We need to talk about it more. ~Nicci
Can't hear your husband
Really? I will make sure it's louder next video.
Hmmm...Yep, Black people do live in Las Vegas and surrounding areas but Black culture??? Are you two sure about that ...Barber shops / Beauty supply 🤦..I say No!!!
I'm not sure I understand your comment but if you are looking for black owned barber and beauty supply stores: Allstar Barber Lounge is a black owned barber shop in Henderson with two locations- one on Eastern and another on Marks Street.

Anyone who asks a question like that apparently they are not from the Vegas area, yes black people live in Henderson I remember when Henderson used to be a dump and that was because there was a plant that was located in the area and it would give off these fumes and it was so strong I remember those days, that was a while back yes black people live in Henderson.. it is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the United States.
