The good and bad of living in Henderson
Curious what people think. Homes are going for about $465,000 on average. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. It's a a mid-size city city with about 325K people. Average temperature is around 67°F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
