Henderson, Nevada

Nevada's second-largest city — master-planned communities, mountain views, and easy access to the Las Vegas Strip

Henderson

Henderson is Nevada's second-most-populous city, home to roughly 318,000 residents as of the 2020 Census, situated about 16 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip. It has built a reputation as one of the region's most livable, family-oriented cities, anchored by dozens of master-planned communities.

The city traces its roots to World War II, when the federal government built the Basic Magnesium Inc. plant here. The workforce housing that sprang up around the plant became the town of Henderson, formally incorporated on April 16, 1953.

Today Henderson blends that industrial-town origin with decades of master-planned growth: neighborhoods like Green Valley, Green Valley Ranch, Anthem, Seven Hills, MacDonald Highlands, and Lake Las Vegas each offer their own distinct character, while the historic Water Street District downtown has been revitalized into a walkable hub.
