The atmosphere is safe, beautiful, well-kept. I would absolutely choose to live here again, although the weather is too hot at times and I would prefer a cooler climate.

I've just moved out to Henderson, and so far I've seen no major crimes. Most of the crime is centered near Las Vegas, and it's traveled to Henderson in the past.
