Henderson Communities

Henderson, NV – “A Place to Call Home”

In 1944 when the Basic Post Office was completed and dedicated, the town was named Henderson after the late Senator Charles B. Henderson. At an average elevation of 1,940 feet, Henderson is ideally located in the southern rim of  the Las Vegas Valley, just 7 miles Southeast of the famous Las Vegas Strip and minutes away from McCarran International Airport. The City of Henderson is recognized as Nevada’s second largest city. Separated by mountains and desert from Boulder City and the Lake Mead  National Recreation Area, it forms the southern edge for one of the fastest growing  metropolitan areas in the United States.

“Henderson communities” occupy the southern rim of the Las Vegas Valley stretching from Interstate 15 east to Lake Las Vegas. Features include level desert, access to the Colorado  River, Lake Mead, Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, Black Mountain and McCullough Mountains.

Henderson communities are central to three of the greatest man-made attractions in the world: the neon of the famous Las Vegas Strip, the splendor of Hoover Dam, and the tranquility of Lake Mead. Henderson is still a place where you can experience the hospitality of a small town and the excitement of a big city.

Henderson, was the fastest growing city in America from 1990 to 1998. In December of 1999, Henderson surpassed Reno as Nevada’s second largest city and it remains one of the top five fastest growing cities in the nation (2000 U.S. Census). Henderson was also rated among the top 50 “Kid Friendly” cities in the United States in 1997 by Zero Population Growth, a Washington-based group.

Nevada’s tax climate is very attractive, as Nevada does not charge corporate, franchise or personal income tax. Nevada is often considered to have one of the least burdensome tax structures in the country. Henderson communities have maintained the same property tax rate for many years and continue to have one of the lowest rates in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, as well as the State of Nevada. Although the Henderson communities are diverse, the city has the highest median household income in Southern Nevada.
