Curious what people think. Been living here since 2023. Crime rate is something to consider -Henderson sits at 229.1 per 100K. Household incomes average around $47,176 in Henderson. Homes are going for about $151,400 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 9 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.
