Henderson, Nevada: Things to know about moving to Henderson | Living in Las Vegas

- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- HENDERSON, EXPLAINED. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you need to know about moving to Las Vegas, particularly the Henderson area. Although Henderson is its own city, it is still considered to be part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. I live in Henderson and it takes me about 20-25 minutes to get to the Las Vegas Strip.
FURTHER THOUGHTS ABOUT HENDERSON NOT MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO:
(Omitted for the sake of time)
As mentioned in my LV Neighborhoods video (For those who missed it: ( • Living in Las Vegas | ... )- Henderson is one of the better places in Las Vegas to live. There is an overwhelming abundance of great businesses and RESTAURANTSSS. (This might have to be a video too... or should I start a blog?) And let me tell you, the food options are q u a l i t y . Probably my favorite part of living here. A lot of my favorite food spots around town actually have broken ground on secondary locations in Henderson. If it's a really poppin' place in Vegas, there's a good chance there's another location in Henderson.
There are so many beautiful views of Las Vegas you can get just by driving around. Driving into Vegas from Old Henderson, Stephanie St./The 215, and Anthem are just a few places you can really get some jaw-droppers.
WHAT I DON'T LOVE: Naturally, what comes with any rapidly developing area, is a poop-ton of construction. Henderson is certainly expanding its boundaries, and while I'm thankful that Vegas overall has some of the best quality roads, any construction site is a serious pain. I've had to re-route entire commutes that add a lot of extra time just based on construction conditions. I've driven over stray nails and had to replace all four of my tires (one of them, twice!) in completely separate instances.
Another thing is, what comes with the generally low crime... are really finicky police. Word of advice: DO NOT SPEED IN HENDERSON. I've heard stories of friends and coworkers getting speeding tickets for going 5, 4, 3, and even 1 MILE over the speed limit. facepalm emoji
I also know someone who got a traffic violation for cutting through a school parking lot to get to another street. There are consistent, inconspicuous speed traps on certain streets, especially those close to construction zones. Moral of the story: Always practice safe driving, but be extra cautious within Henderson limits. I once got pulled over on St. Rose Pkwy and was pooping myself because I knew all the stories, but thankfully was let off with a warning because it was actually Nevada Highway Patrol. Not too sure I would have met the same fate with Henderson PD.
If I happen to come across any extra thoughts, I will share them in the comments! I hope this was helpful to those who were curious about the area or even looking to possibly move there. Leave me with your comments/questions/feedback/ideas for future videos and we'll talk again. :)

My name is Sunshine and I've been a Las Vegas local for the last decade. As a child of a U.S. Navy parent, I understand what it's like to be the new kid on the block. If you're new here, or thinking about moving to Vegas, you're not alone. Welcome! Talking about living here and sharing a different perspective of the city is something that always turns out to be an impassioned speech, so in this channel I create an archive of my thoughts and advice.
If you have any questions about living in LV, ask away! Even if I don't know the best answer myself, I can guarantee I know someone who does.

Moving out of Las Vegas to Seven Hills in Henderson Nevada next month I finally made it to the top damn it's feel good.
Hi, I have one question please dose the Las Vegas have tax refund thank you. I live in Washington can you tell me mor about Las Vegas?
Just moved here to Green Valley last week and the way that you describe it is spot on. I love it here!
Planning to relocate from NYC as well. This video really made me look at Nevada differently now. Great content! Thank you soo much !
Great info!! Thanks for sharing, great explanation of the heat. Florida native here. A hot day in Vegas is better than any day in Florida. Too humid here 10 months out of year.
Watched a bunch of these videos, Trying to make the move from West LA to Henderson. This video actually got me excited and see some spots to me likey lol. Thank you Sunshine, appreciate the content.
Love your channel ❤️ you give great information that I was seeking. Hope to see more and receive more information by you.
I love Henderson and I think it has a lovely shape
This was helpful. My boyfriend and I recently moved to Las Vegas and moved right into the surrounding Strip area and UNLV, not the safest area despite the University lol We moved here from a college town and figured the area would be similar but we shouldve watched your "worst/best" neighborhoods video first haha. We love our apartment community, its very clean, has nice amenities and is gated, but the surrounding area (especially Flamingo Rd.) need work and more police. It could be nice area, but it gets trashed a lot. Anyways, we are thinking of moving to Summerlin, but Henderson seems great as well!
haha I live in Henderson and didn't realize we all class our location by the casino that's nearby, but its so true!
Yessss I agree with all of this! I live 5 minutes from the M and I LOVE Henderson!!!
Damn same wtf 😂
Your description of the shape of Henderson City made me fall off my chair.... Thank You Sunshine!!
I was born and raised in Henderson!
I’ll be there this weekend, Henderson sound interesting, the Christmas lights looks great.
Hey sunshine! You should make a video of the Best Filipino food in Henderson/Vegas that would be awesome!
hey! 👋🏻 saw your comment on Cathrin Mannings video and decided to pop by! Awesome content! Keep crushing it ❤️!
SIDE ADVICE thank you for the support! Sending well wishes in this crazy time- Keep up the learning, growing, and creating as well!
We are coming to Henderson from England UK, In March 2021! - Great info on the speeding issue. The UK is generally really lax on speeding and harsh law enforcement penalties in general - So thats really useful
Did you move? Do you like it if so?
"Do not speed..." Nailed it.
Super helpful ty! I’m looking to move from humid Missouri I can’t deal with our weather anymore
Hey I'm moving to Henderson soon, getting a house built there. Possibly cadence, hopefully this summer we'll be there. Thanks for breaking down thru area's. I need to know where to go for some activities lol, and meet new people, couples.
When you talk about class(middle,upper, etc) would you give renting ranges and/or ranges to buy a house/condo? Thank you. Your videos are super helpful
Moving out there from Cali before the year is up !! I can’t wait !!
Same im South OC
@@ginamw23 Oh shit not to far from me
I just moved out of Henderson as it is simply too crowded nowadays. 5 years ago it wasn't a problem but now you can't drive down the street during the day without going crazy, even if it's 10AM-2PM. And they keep building and building everybody agrees it's getting crowded like L.A. and those L.A. folks are the ones moving to Henderson lol. I'm now over on the west side of Vegas in Summerlin, the huge difference is Summerlin is a planned community so there are restrictions on building it's definitely more live-able the traffic is much more reasonable. Still, keep in mind Vegas just got a NFL team, they're a big league city now and it's only going to get more crowded and expensive so be prepared for that reality.
Helpful video...thanks. In your opinion what neighborhoods in Henderson have the least amount of wildlife (i.e. scorpions) ?
Im moving there in august from new jersey!!! All by myself! So nervous but so excited!!!!
Let me know your thoughts , I'm moving from jersey as well.
Hi Sunrise,
Love your videos. Are you also a realtor? I really like Henderson and the different areas you listed in your video.
Great info.. entertaining ....
Is Spring Valley a good place to stay ?
Definitely helpful we are looking at the st rose/ anthem area, can you do a video on Silverado ranch
Love your vids, please make moreeee
I've been so terrible I"m sorry! Thank you for the push though, I'm working on it!
@@SunshineMalaya You're totally fine :) Just miss having your updates
I'm leaving NYC and moving over next month! Thanks!
Did u move yet?
@@eastoakland-S65feen nice moving in 3 months! from St Paul.
How do you like it now?
How is it!?
Let us know!
I'm a new subscriber, could you do a video showing the area. I may be relocating to Henderson...Mary from Chicago...thank you
i would like to check it out next time i go to vegas
Hi, thanks for the info. I am thinking of moving to Vegas/Henderson. What do you think of the new Henderson area near Pittman they’re building up? Any info would be great!
Thinking about moving to Henderson.
Pizza Rock has an awesome Vegan Menu, too
You described everything perfectly. I used to live in henderson. I didn’t know it was called Whitney ranch until IG geo-tagged one of my photos 🤣😂
Thanks! That's how I find out what my neighborhood was called too LOL
Classy and hot like yourself, thanks for the info 🌞
I missssss you!!!!!
Green Valley Ranch is part of Station Casinos like Boulder Station, Palace Station, and believe it or not Red Rock Casino Resort. Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Casino Resort are their two high-end casinos. Also the District [which I do go to] reminds me of 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, but feels it is shortened. I believe it will turn into another Santa Monica eventually with people from California wanting to move out here. By the way, I'm from Los Angeles and grew up in the Redondo Beach area; more specifically on the south end which has middle to upper middle class residents. North end of Redondo Beach is fairly ghetto.
Nice video. Plus nice hair
💚
I am learning sooooo much about vegas through you...lm planning on relocating there..but i felt soooo lost as to .what is what .thanks
We used to call it Hooterville when I was growing up there,don't really know why no farms but it was a nice place.
Hi @Danny Heard, why did you call it hooterville? Were there alot of owls in the area? Or..well the obvious.
@@wensleyjames9761 I think it had more to do with the fake little town on Green Acres,it used to be really small but it was a nice place to grow up in.
Henderson PD, especially within the old Henderson area, boulder highway, and Whitney ranch, (which are furthest away from their jurisdiction boundaries) are BORDERLINE FASCISTIC. I have been pulled over for ridiculous things like driving with my cabin lights on, turning on my headlights within 3 seconds of pulling onto a street from a parking lot, and pulling over to the side of the road to respond to texts in areas that were not designated as no parking. Many of these stops included prolonged questioning, and invasive searches of my personal property without warrant.
My folks bought a home in the Enterprise area and I was there the first week of this month. Decided to visit Henderson area since my gf wanted to see it last year when we were there and the first thing I noticed was that there were A LOT more trees and manicured lawns/areas within the vicinity. Also, they have a ton of commercial stores compared to other areas. What I'd like to know is was Henderson one of the first areas to be developed in the Vegas area? It is a lovely area! Im very interested in living in Vegas some day.
It came into being because of the Dam. Old Henderson has townsite homes. They were supposed to be temporary for the dam workers. All the streets in that area are named after minerals and such, like Lead, Copper, Magnesium, etc. the “main” street is Water Street and then you have Pacific, Atlantic, and of course Lake Mead. Noticing a theme?
@@cincyjanebearcat Very interesting and thank you for the explanation!
What would be a nice area to rent in? Next time I go, I want to start checking out areas and pricing for renting and/or possibly owning a home.
@@jessa.3857 I'm only really familiar with Henderson, so I'm sure there are other parts of Las Vegas that are nice, but I'll stick to what I know. Anything in Green Valley or Whitney Ranch. Most of the apartments in my area "old Henderson" aren't the best, my opinion. I'm not sure about prices. Everything here has been going sky high lately, it's a seller's market as they say. Housing, as I said, I live in the "older part" but the houses are nice. Renting, in my opinion, a house is more than buying one or about the same. The apartments and houses near St. Rose/Enterprise are more expensive, I believe. There are also some nice condos near Green Valley High School and off the 515 at College Drive. I know people who live there. If you have any other questions I would be happy to let you know my opinion of the area. I hope this helps.
@@cincyjanebearcat thanks again and will do if i need the help!
What are the best apartments to live in Henderson??
You have a cute personality. Can’t wait to see more videos about vegas
Did you move?
Hi, first of all congrats for your videos...very helpfulll info. One question, si your IG account still active? Beccasse I can't find it. Also, would be nice to get info about jobs to do in Vegas. Nobody really talk into detailes about that. ;)
I’ve been here in Henderson for 2 years and I love it btw ITS SO HOT!!!!!, 👍🏽
Try moving to Palm springs , Coachella valley area here in So CaL , its gets 115-123 degrees here .
How hot does it get?
The highest it gets in summer is 90-107 I think
Does anyone know a good lender in the Vegas area? We are Canadian looking to buy a house in Henderson. Let me know
Moving out of Las Vegas, I realized I had more to do and enjoy in DFW (Texas has the best food OMG) I’m a small town girl.
Hi sunshine. Am planning to move there from socal with my 2 teenagers. Would you recommend a good middle School and highschool. Thanks
Not too sure about middle schools, but I'd say whichever ones are zoned for good highschools should be good too. My answer will probably subjective but for public HS in this part of town... Liberty HS is pretty a decent and diverse middle-class school with great programs. What's known as the "rich kid" public schools are Green Valley and Palo Verde. There's expensive private schools like Bishop Gorman and Faith Lutheran too. I'd also recommend looking into Magnet schools in town if your kids have would like to explore career driven tracks. Schools like SouthWest Career & Technical Academy (SWCTA) or the other areas' respective career and tech schools. Free but admission based. Hope that helps!
what about pardise???
Is there a lot of Airplanes around in that area since it is close to the airport?
Depends on what part of Hendo you're in honestly. There's a Henderson Executive Airport (pretty small) and of course LAS not too far off. I could be desensitized but I don't notice planes too often.
Hi! What do you think of Inspirada? We are planning to move in Henderson I just want to get your opinion about that area. Thank you in advance!
Did you move?
@@ginamw23 hello! No we didn’t! We were not ready yet. Don’t know when that time comes 🥰 hope all is well☺️
I want to move to a Henderson unit. Somewhere were it is safe and nice to go for walks (in Parks or a Lake).
You should download the All Trails app! There are so many trails, parks, mini hikes, and lakes I didn't about. You can filter it all by distance, and those features so if you wanted to live somewhere close to those things it might not be a bad idea to look through
You look great.🍺
So, I heard about the school system being awful in Vegas/Henderson. How true is that? I also see a lot of ‘it’s not a great place to raise a family.’ Everything else I’ve heard about these cities has been positive. I’m used to the heat living in Central California, so I don’t think 110 would really bother me. A lot more job opportunity than where I’m at now.
I’m just really debating because me and the wife plan on having kids in the next year and want them to have a good experience or as good of an experience growing up. Where I live, I honestly would think it’s worse.
Is your question about school system had been addressed? I'm also interested with this.
Hello Sunshine, I've watched your video's on moving to Las Vegas. I plan to move there when travel ban between states is lifted. You said if I had question's to ask. When I move I plan on staying at a Siegel suites or Budget Suites on 3655 W. Tropicana Ave.. Wondering if that location not as getto as the others. From what I understand the east side Paradise area not so friendly. Most of the Suites are around that area. Since you live there would like to hear your thoughts, thanks.
Eeeek, I know people who have lived in those Siegel/Budget Suites temporarily and I would not recommend. Pretty sketchy and uncomfortable from what I've heard. I'd look at other options if you could!
@@SunshineMalaya thank you
Please help how much cost rent for 2-3 bedrooms in henderson
Or owning a house with 3-4 bedroom
Thanks!
If I had to give you a guesstimate off the top of my head... it really depends on which part of Henderson bc other areas can be more expensive than others. But if you go with middle class 2-3 BR apartments, I'd say somewhere between 1200-1800/month? 3-4 BR houses probably closer to 220k - 350k+ again, depending on which part
considering moving here from california next year or the end of the year thank you for the insight :)!
Did you move?
Did you move?
Did you move? And how was it
I'm surprised you didn't talk about DTH and the new Cadence Community
When I move there, will you be my guide ? :-)
Could you please please do a video on traffic tickets in Henderson and why they issue warrants so fast I knew here and scared of the Henderson police already.
What about Spring Valley?
The first thing that told me the difference was at night the street lights are white and not yellowish
im in enterprise, but like henderson also, lots of shoppings...one thing even being alone, people here are super nice , i gota say it...
Some ppl are you get the ppl who use to live in Vegas move to Henderson the rude as fuck and going to get the shit slapped out of them
Im moving to Henderson from So CaL , i was born and raised here , never lived outside of Cali , BUT Cali is getting very very bad now . Ive taken a interest in Nevada , defiantly going to have some culture shock though ...btw i live where it gets 115-123 degree weather lol , im from Los Angeles , currently reside in Palm Springs though .
👍
You're gorgeous! I'm probably going to wait another year or so. Save up some money and then head out that way. No idea at the moment but with remote work being the trend I'm tempted to get to a state with no state income tax and low property tax, tbh. Being from CT I was going to get on you about the pizza statement but I'll let it slide because your bomb dot com statement was awkward enough XD :P
Do you do tours?
What is the casino in Seven Hills/Anthem?
They get country clubs instead haha
you have an adorable dog.
HEY honey. I recently moved to Las Vegas and I'm documenting (Las Vegas Lifestyles Vlogs) my experience on my RUclips channel. Check out my channel
I’m In Henderson too ! Wya tho lol
What are your favorite places to eat off the Vegas strip?
Hi came across your video. I’m curious about moving there and wondering the cost of living post pandemic and the diversity. Is it multicultural with representation of many minority groups? Looking forward to hearing from you
Moving to Vegas in 3 weeks and I’ll be working in North Las Vegas. Looking to rent apartment 2 bedroom 2 bathroom about $1400 max any suggestions?
James Taylor Henderson would be quite far. Pretty much as far as you can get. Centennial/the NW area or Aliante might work better for you if you’re looking for a short commute
sunshinedelights thank you so much 🤩
Work close to home...if you live across town and have to go thru the "spaghetti bowl" you will hate being stuck in traffic during your commute.
I've lived all over the Valley in both Las Vegas and Henderson. My suggestion would be to go with a 2 bedroom house in the Summerlin area..which is West Las Vegas and you'll have less traffic problems going up the 215 to work in N. Las Vegas. I'm renting a 2 bedroom for $1500 now, much better than the old 1 bedroom apt. I had in Henderson for $1200.
Eric Haynes thank you
😀
You forgot Boulder Highway Henderhole strip!
Thinking about moving out there it will be my first time moving out and moving to another city I’m low key scared but thanks to you I’m less scared 😂❤️❤️❤️
Make sure you have a lot of money save up, otgher than that Henderson is a great place to live.
Drew EX thanks
For those that have been in Henderson for a while could someone comment on the scorpion situation? I have kids and pets and tbh it’s freaking me out.
Not just Henderson, it's a possibility anywhere in Vegas. If your house has or is near a Palm Tree I heard they're more likely there. Best thing to do is to make sure you have an exterminator over to spray the perimeters of your property every season or so. Other than that, I've personally never encountered one in my own home. *knock on wood!!*
I just moved here! You seem nice! Let’s hangout haha
HEY honey. I recently moved to Las Vegas and I'm documenting (Las Vegas Lifestyles Vlogs) my experience on my RUclips channel. Check out my channel
So I remember you stating your mom was a real estate agent? I'm a first time home buyer and I honestly need as much direction as possible, did she ever make a channel?
She hasn't started on her channel, but please feel free to visit her FB page - Crossover Realty
Can someone who makes 60- 65000 a year do okay financially in Henderson or Las Vegas in general. Thanks
Definitely. You could swing a 1 or 2 BR apartment easily. Even a rent a house if you'd want, I'd say rent is around 1k - 2k depending on what you want.
Girl have you seen the new houses near valley verde and horizon ridge?
It is beyond bourgeois, it’s like Hollywood/ crazy rich Asians exclusive status.
I’ve lived in Henderson about a year I’m not to sure about this place yet
Why
I want to move there
this lady is cute as heck. on another note what industry are you employed in because i heard there are few jobs out there outside of hospitality
I'm moving to Vegas to meet u hun
It’s Nevada and it’s Dessert and hella sucks i would just stay in Cali hella sand and dust blowing round and hella hot
I got asked what Casino I lived at once.
It be like that sometimes
Very useful info thanks.
you have really big eyes btw lol
Interesting detail, Nevada means snowfall in Spanish.
Does it really?! That's so funny because it's the last thing you think of here. Along with that I've heard Las Vegas means "the meadows"
Oops! You forgot THEE most green area in the entire Las Vegas Valley. Lake Las Vegas.
Ed N oh you’re right! Truthfully Lake Las Vegas is so “far” out of town I never personally considered it to be part of Henderson. I didn’t know it was.
Is Lake Las Vegas a safe place to live?
Curious your thoughts on LLV- we’re moving there in a few months!
I spent most of my life in Vegas 🙄. It all sucks. Unless you have years of experience as a waiter at a high end restaurant and can somehow get yourself in as a server at a restaurant on the strip, have fun trying to make any sort of decent living. Getting a "career job" is about who you know. Otherwise, landing a $12/hr job somewhere (while rolling in crazy student debt from getting a degree, thinking it would help job prospects 🤣😭) is considered to be a good wage . . . Its just NOT a normal city. If you have kids, STAY AWAY! There's a reason why nearly everyone I knew growing up either didn't finish high school, started having kids while still kids themselves, ended up addicted to drugs, and/or moved the hell out of there asap. There are a select few Ive known that did not follow that fate. But most jobs there are dead end. You might find it fun at first being a go go dancer/cocktail waitress/hostess at one of the swanky night clubs, but in 20 years, you won't have climbed any sort of rank (except maybe a blackjack dealer to a pit boss), gotten any sort of corporate promotion to VP or be an executive, etc. I finally moved away last year. Best decision of my life. And the word "finicky" to describe the police is a huge understatement! They pull you over and depression you for no reason, just fishing for some sort of reason to arrest you. And then they just write whatever they want on the police reports (didn't matter if absolutely nothing corroborates their reports, not even if they police dept own records don't back up the reports, no one will listen to you. Get ready to accept a guilty plea and end up with a record.) So actually being a criminal defense attorney would be a good career because you'd literally be raking in $20K+ to negotiate a bullshit plea deal, even when the case is based on a totally fabricated police report (like what I mentioned before). You tell your client "oh yes we'll definitely fight it!" Then after being paid, stop working on the case and then comes that it doesn't really matter what evidence you have, the courts won't listen, so just convince (railroad/blackmail, etc) them to take a plea deal anyway. . . And the courts really won't believe a word you say, you could be waving solid evidence in their faces, the judges don't give a f***. Why do you think there are all those jones about how the Raiders football players are all going to end up felons?! Cause that's what happens there. You can literally be just living your life, and somehow finds yourself fighting the court system for years. Just. . . STAY AWAY.
I know this is getting long but take me for example. Straight A student. Graduated college with a 3.6 GPA. I couldn't get any job for YEARS unless I wanted to be a commission only club promoter which I tried for a few weeks and made $65 total. (I was either too qualified or under qualified. . .) My degree was actually a hindrance, so I started having to put on my resume that I was "working towards a degree". And when I finally did get a job (after 6 years) it was for a $12/hr dead end job that had no advancement possibility(which I was actually thankful for).
I'm trying to learn here, but you're so pretty it is really hard to concentrate on what you are saying!
I just started working here but from California. This place is really clean & new... Really good restaurants but I need to explore more... Everything seems chill & cost of living is lower than California.
I'm moving there from Chicago . I don't know what to expect or how to even get used to a different environment. Like going to highschool or the hot weather etc. 😂😂😂
Same
I'm from Chicago. Henderson is a great place to live and pretty much have everything you'll ever want without going to Vegas. Theres always something going on in Henderson. You'll love it out there. I'm moving back out there soon. Can't wait.
Gonna recruit my bff to respond to this bc she just moved from CHI to here too and has been adjusting. The main thing imo is the humidity and harsh weather is way harder to deal with in Chicago! Don't know how y'all do it. HS here is probably way more tame too, just depends on the part of town you're in haha
Did you end up moving?
@@ginamw23 yes I ended up moving to henderson. It's so hot here. Hotter than chicago heat
