Our Take
Henderson offers decent schools and a fairly affordable median home price, but the lack of walkability and public transit, high summer temperatures, and moderate crime rates make it less appealing for families who value convenience. It can be a good fit if you’re okay with a car and willing to commute, but otherwise consider other options.
