Henderson - Established and Strong

Though Henderson has many attractions in its own right, Lake Meade succeeds in overshadowing the city for nature lovers. The engaging collection of water bodies is an absorbing spectacle of all Nevada, and adjoining Arizona as well... It contributes to the value of living in Henderson in no small measure. Residents love the facility of being able to spend quality leisure time so near their homes.

The Lake Meade Recreation Area is open around the year. The unusual confluence of lakes and desert terrain offer a range of activities that stretch from fishing to trekking. The ambience imposes no burden on visitors, and it is quite in order to simply laze in the sun, or to relax completely in a boat on the placid waters! Naturalists especially like this reserve for the confluence of intriguing desert ecologies. It is most unusual to find such a variety of flora and fauna in a supposedly arid area! Children of families who choose to live in Henderson enjoy the special advantage of developing a love for nature and the environment early in their lives.

The Hoover Dam is another major attraction within striking distance of Henderson. This engineering marvel attracts a million visitors a year, and Henderson residents can enjoy day trips to this famous area. Guests also enjoy the tours which are on offer at the site, especially during the Spring Break and in summer. Though most people associate the Hoover Dam with irrigation, power and flood control, not many are aware, until the visit the site, that the banks of the project area support as delightful an array of wildlife as the aquatic citizens in the water!

Senior Citizens who have retired make up no less than a quarter of Henderson’s population. This is largely due to the city’s diligent efforts to provide a host of suitable activities for this important demographic group. Life after retirement can be most productive and enjoyable in Henderson.

A survey of city residents has established a strong sense of community amongst the residents, and a shared confidence in the future of Henderson. Almost a third of the population has moved from other parts of Nevada, including from Las Vegas, and have preferred Henderson to their earlier bases. About 20% have moved in from places in California. This clearly shows the high standards that Henderson offers.

The public response to realty development in Henderson has been enthusiastic and rewarding for developers. Most projects have sold out before or soon after construction and auctions of land are clear evidence of the growing demand which developers seem to be so keen to meet. A recent trend has been the establishment of high-rise condominiums to meet the bludgeoning demand for dwelling units, as name of this excellent residential community spreads far and wide.

Henderson is one of America’s most exciting cities. It is the proud winner of the Crown Communities Award for its prudent financial management. The city administration deserves praise for their holistic and systematic approach to developing the neighborhood, and properties values are set to continue their unbroken records of appreciation.
