Crime is insane there.

Make sure you make enough cash ! Monitor Your Children closely for drugs, Sexual molestation by others. Be Very Vigilant. Leave no stone unturned. Check everyone's credentials. Certifications. Just because someone tells you what they are ,will not be mean they are who they say ! Bearing that in mind ,I think Vegas is set to really move when the economy recovers.

I hope you already have a job lined up, as unemployment in greater LV is at or near the top in the country. If you don't have an employment agreement and are not independently wealthy, it wouldn't recommend it.

Henderson is a fine city. The problem is the county. The school system here is rated second from the bottom in the US. Crime is probably lower than most major cities however as the unemployment rises and Illegals keep coming crime is rising. There are no jobs to be had by a newcomer. Every time there is a job opening there are 100 well qualified applicants who already live here. Might want to read over the following webpage.

I've lived all over Las Vegas for the past 20 years. So I know the city pretty well. (New) Henderson, around Anthem and Seven Hills, is a pretty nice place to live. (Old Henderson is the exact opposite of New Henderson) Summerlin is also nice it's on the far North West side of Las Vegas, I like it over there a lot, but anywhere else is pretty much up in the air. I would stay away from North Las Vegas and the city. Crime is pretty much everywhere in Las Vegas/Henderson but it's a lot less "visible" in Henderson. Most of the crime comes from little shit high school kids doing stupid stuff to pass the time, like paintballing peoples houses for fun or getting drunk and crashing into walls or each other, seriously. It's pretty much the stereotypical suburb. The main schools in Henderson are pretty good up until High School. The main high school in (New) Henderson is Coronado. Coronado, academically, is the best school in Nevada but the drugs are EVERYWHERE in that school. It has a really bad rap for it's drug use. And the teachers are pretty much worthless because the kids complain to their "rich" parents and can get the teachers fired. Lake Las Vegas is great but it's pretty expensive to keep and maintain a house out there. But if you're just moving to Vegas your best bet is probably Henderson. It far enough away from the Strip and the police out there maintain a staus quo.

I expect you know there are limited to no jobs. Unemployment is over 13%. The State, County and all cities have frozen hiring and laying off. Businesss close daily. Casinos are hurting as well, and those are minimum wage jobs with benefits. Henderson is nice, if in the Green Valley area. Boulder City, further away than Henderson is nice. There are very nice areas in North Las Vegas in the Centenial Hill area. Schools are ok; crime like LA.
