Vegas help from the locals please.
I'm looking into moving to the Vegas area. I was told to check out Henderson. Does anyone have any info on this place? I have a kid, So I want to make sure it is safe for him, and that the schools are good.

My dad has a house in Henderson. They bought it a few years back to stay in when he and his partner's are out at their Vegas office.
It was built for $400k, they bought it for about half that and it took a dump after they bought it too. The value has gone up a little bit, so that's a plus and probably bodes well for the area. That said, my buddies 14 year old daughter lives in Vegas with her mom and is covered in Tattoos and piercings. That's either gonna be really good for your son, or REALLY bad. ![]() |

Henderson is good, as is the Southwest, and Northwest (West side of the 95 freeway) or further out east of the freeway is ok too (Alliante area)
Basically any "new" area is better.

I live in NW Vegas (near the Santa Fe Station Casino)
Gated community. Beautiful parks for the kids to play in a few blocks away. Elementary, middle school, and high school within a few blocks. Just a super nice neighborhood. Quiet and safe. Schools are nice and pretty new and my kids have enjoyed going to them. Still have one in high school and she is excelling here. As soon as she graduates in a couple of years...I'm gonna think about moving in closer to the strip. It's almost TOO nice for me living here. I need to get in closer to the action on the strip. lol But living where I am now is the nicest place I've ever lived. I was born and raised in Florida. Moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 1988. Atlanta in 1989. Columbia, South Carolina in 1990. Down to Orlando, Fla. in 1992. Greenville, SC in 1993 And then here to Vegas in 2008. And this is by far the best place I've lived and has the nicest people and cleanest schools of any of those other places. Vegas is a big sprawling place. It's pretty much all of Clark County. So don't be fooled into thinking that it's all just the strip. The strip is a tiny area of Vegas. |

I live in Henderson and it's nice. I would definitely go with the Green Valley area of Henderson versus old town Henderson itself. They call it Hendertucky for a reason.
Green Valley has a ton of parks, good schools, quiet and easy access to the freeway. Takes me about 10 minutes to get to the strip, 15-20 to get downtown, depending on traffic (which compared to other cites there is very little of). Depending on budget you can get a nice 4 bedroom 1900 sq ft house w/pool in the $130k - $150k range. Or 4000+ sq ft, pool, guard gated community for $500k - $750k. Plenty of $1M plus homes available as well. Good luck. ![]() |

I used to swelter livng in Fla. and South Carolina when the temp was 90 degrees F because of the intense humidity. But 90 degrees F here in Vegas feels very comfortable. It does get a little bit too much a couple of times a year when it gets up to 110 degrees. But that's what swimming pools and air conditioning are for. lol And right now, I'm sick of cold weather and ready for some HOT weather so I can enjoy my pool again. |

Thank you everyone for the info. You can't get this insider stuff from google.
What area is Green Valley? I have been looking around and so far found this. http://www.homes.com/listing/1803515...ERSON_NV_89011 I'm not sure how the neigborhood/schools etc. are. I myself have never left the strip. I'm just looking for something simple as far as a home. |

$170k would easily get you a 3/4 bedroom house built within the past 10 years. |

I am a native, and have a child. We picked the area that we live in because of the schools, and I don't regrest the decision one bit. Depending on your budget, check out the Anthem Area. There is the Country Club area, as well as the Inspirada area for more of a "family" feel.
Here is the Inspirada site: http://www.inspirada.com/hb.home.html If your child is of elementary school age, Wallin is a 5 star, public school, which not only has great teachers, but also a uniform requirement to avoid any gang BS. http://www.wallinelementary.com/ |

I know you can go through Seven Hills and all but seems out of the way. And you're even further up. How long does it take you to get to the airport? Strip from up in Anthem? I know a lot of people who live up there and thats their only real complaint (besides the hard water). |

There are some great deals in vegas, if you keep looking and spend some time around vegas you will be surprised what 10% or more down and great credit will get you.
Our house was over 600K in 2008 or 09.. ( when the org owner bought it). we got it from the bank, in less than 45 days, for 200K.. It is energy star, pulte home, all title or bamboo flooring ( no carpet), 5 bedroom ( 3 are masters), 3 bathrooms, on a golf course, Super Nice and the note is super cheap, you can't rent for the price own can own ( my note is under 900 a month) It took me almost 2 months of looking around vegas, but there are thousands of deals if your less picky. Talent is hit and miss.. I have more girls than I can generally shoot with, but I do a lot of mainstream and adult stuff. However I know a handful of adult companies that come to vegas and can't find talent, while other people, have no problem. |

Best I can do is surf the internet and fly down on the weekend to look at places.
I'm surprised there are no talent agencies, Maybe someone will open one. Cali doesn't seem like a porn friendly place anymore. |

Yea.. there are a lot of people that have tried.. however it can be hard when a model can make more money stripping than doing porn.

Private school is the way to go here, or home schooled. The public schools here are shit, except for the Magnet schools but that is only grade 9 - 12 and you have to apply to get your kid into one.
There are several really good private schools here for a reason. It's worth the money to send your kid to one. |

I have a business in Downtown Las Vegas. Without traffic, it's a 15-20 min drive. 30 during rush hour. In essence, it's a minor inconvenience, but it's worth it in our opinion for the quality of home that we have (plus great neighbors, great public schools, etc). For the record, we were able to get a 3,800 sq feet brand new home built to spec for around $260,000. In 2002, I paid $325,000 for $1,500 sq feet. The market here is definitely perfect for buyers! ![]() |

Middle schools in the area:

My family has been in Henderson for over a decade and we visit with them several times a year. The city has expanded, but it's also kept up the older areas. They're in the "older" part of Henderson off Eastern and Robindale.
At one point I considered moving to Vegas and looked at the Seven Hills area just south of Henderson. You should check that area out as well.

Henderson actually expands past Seven Hills now, so it's still carrying the Henderson tag. It's just "newer" Henderson. Seven Hills pretty much butts right up to Anthem and Inspirada now. |

Nevada's public schools and education system has ranked near the bottom of the USA for the past 10 years that I've been keeping up with it. http://www.lvrj.com/news/report-puts...163664676.html My kid went to private school up thru 5th grade. I made the mistake of letting him go to public school for 6th grade and half of 7th grade, and then pulled him back out of public schools. Wont be making that mistake again. His second half of 7th grade and first half of 8th grade have been his best yet. |

The school system may be broken in many aspects, but it still works for many if the parents are involved, and if the children are motivated. I'm not saying your choice to go private is better or worse...I'm just saying that what works for some, doesn't work for all. Obviously the public school system failed your child, so you did what any good parent would. ![]() |
