I am searching for a place to move in the next few years, out of the northeast for me, had enough!

Looking at Arizona, Florida & Nevada

How is weather here? Good amount of stores? How is traffic?

Thanks!

I do not live there but just visited a relative who has a second home in Henderson. It's so nice there. He lives on a golf course with a panoramic view of the strip. The town looks so new and the shopping areas are easy to get into and out of. I hope you love it if your move there..... Lucky girl.

My daughters inlaws live in Vegas, they are so miserable in the summer months, they now rent a condo in Oregon for 3 months just to get out of Vegas in the extreme heat.

Henderson is nice, but all the homes looks the same. (newer part)

I have friends in Henderson who do the same thing.

They leave every year from about May to Labor Day. They either travel to cooler states in their big mobile home, or they volunteer to work in state parks in cooler states.

esmeraldagooch.....are you sure your friend doesn't live in Summerlin? The way the city of Las Vegas and surrounding areas was built, the west side of town (where Summerlin is) sits at a much higher elevation. The water from melting snow from MT Charlteston flows downhill all the way to Lake Mead as does any rain water anywhere hence the reason some ares get flooded, although over the years better flood channels have helped. While there are many golf courses in both Henderson and Summerlin...it is only in Summerlin where one has panoramic views of the strip.

Hi ANNMARIE ! I don't live in Henderson but I don't live far from there and have been there many times. It's a nice area.I would say the positives are the affordable housing, the fabulous winter spring and fall weather, the amenities , great shopping,and there's so much to do . The negatives would be of course the hot summers, so a pool is almost a must have IMO., and the traffic.

Henderson is a nice place. My DS lived there for a while a few years back.

He lives in a gated community just off of South Eastern Ave in Henderson The golf course he looks at is Rio Secco Golf Club. You can see the Mandalay bay clear past the huge farris wheel to the Stratosphere. I took a bunch of photos from the patio during the day and at night when it came to life...
