Master-planned city • ±340,000 residents • consistently ranked among America’s safest mid-sized cities

Henderson sits southeast of Las Vegas at the base of the Black Mountains, where palm-lined parkways, award-winning parks and a network of 180+ miles of walking trails frame some of the valley’s most sought-after master-planned communities. A higher-than-average median household income, strong public-safety record and a deep roster of A-rated public and charter schools have helped turn this once-sleepy suburb into the go-to address for professionals, growing families and active-lifestyle retirees. Housing ranges from entry-level condos in the mid-$300 Ks to custom hillside estates that crest well past $5 million, with nearly every price point represented in between.
