We moved to Henderson last November from So Cal and love it so far...reasonable prices for homes (we are leasing in anthem country club) and easy to get around...we have found good doctors too, which is very important...also Vegas is easy to fly in and out of, which is a plus for visitors...there are areas in Anthem where you do get a great view of the entire valley including the strip...we know summer will be bad, but figure we will just deal with it...not unlike dealing with harsh winters when we lived on the East Coast...good luck with your search....

Anthem is the newer section of Henderson and at the south end of the strip on the east side. Pictures of the strip from there would be appreciated if you have them. Thanks.

No pics from me, sorry - and no view from my house either - guess we are in the cheap seats LOL!! I do get a nice view as I drive through Anthem on my way home from work, though!! And went to a restaurant in Henderson a few weeks ago that had a nice view as well.

Thanks all, great pics!

I didn't know Henderson area was so close to Vegas, I will have to google map it so I can see the miles distance

I might be moving sooner than I thought, my husband lost his 20 year job today....he had no clue this was coming....we are both in shock & have a lot to figure out....no pay, pension, severance or insurance after the end of March...ugh

but also have an elderly mother that will not move, double ugh

You both need to sit down and breathe. You must be in shock! I hope things turn around for you again real soon.

We have relatives in Summerlin. DH and I used to go to Vegas every year, sometimes twice a year for vacation. We also would go back and forth to Scottsdale, Az. as my folks had a condo there.

When we decided we were going to do the snowbird thing back in 2008, we really were serious about Summerlin. We worked with an agent and originally looked at the original Sun City. YIKES! Can you say old and dated? Then, there were many foreclosures so, we were leery of streets that were half empty.

Bottom line, we ended up in a Del Webb community in the S.E. Valley of Arizona. Mostly, because my brother is a few streets away. It is a 55+ and older and they are all homes, no condos or townhomes. We bought in the fall of 2009 and the prices had about hit bottom (though the original prices were over-inflated).

Vegas is more of a transient town although they do not tax pensions in Nevada. We are very happy with the choice we made.

ANNMARIE......I'm so sorry to hear your DH suddenly lost his job ! We have been there and it was also totally unexpected out of the blue. You recover , but it sure knocks the wind out of your sails when it happens. Wishing you the best of good luck.

Some good thing about Nevada: no income tax or exempt pensions and Social Security income, and that also have low property and sales taxes.

Thanks Azcowgirl, This is going to be a tough ride, have no idea where we will land, so many variables

I have my mother to consider...only one sister local left & she doesn't have anything to do with any of us (she's a jerk), so she is no help

I want to move to where it is warm, love Arizona, but first we will try to stay local, them try the neighboring cities & if nothing, we move out of state

Were you able to find employment local when this happened to you?

My husband has to start anew at 56 & I may have to go back to work, a thought I am dreading LOL

Hi ANNMARIE, the first time it happened to us, DH took a job out of the country, we lived there for five years, the second time it happened, He was about the same age as your DH and that's when he took a job that moved us again...after it happened twice, he was very nervous about job security from then on.....I sure hope it works out for you two and that you don't have to go back to work too. P.S.( I have a sister like that also....disappeared and left me to be the only one that could care for my elderly parents )
