"Henderson, Nevada - a Place to Call Home."  Henderson is the second largest city in Nevada and years ago President Kennedy said that this would be the "city of destiny."  This vision that he spoke of many years ago has become the truth to nearly 241,000 residents today, making Henderson, the perfect "Place to Call Home." 

 

Henderson, Nevada is one of the fastest growing communities in the nation, creating a lively experience for residents and business owners alike.  The city has already accomplished so much since it was incorporated in 1953 and there are a wealth of plans on the horizon for building new master-planned communities, novel business developments, increased transportation efforts, and exceptional parks and recreational activities.  All of these new projects will only build upon the value of this city, which is already known for housing the largest recreational facility in the state of Nevada - the Multigenerational Facility at Liberty Pointe, Nevada´s only scenic Bird Preserve -- City of Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve and Water Reclamation Facility and the largest outdoor amphitheatre in Nevada! 

 

There are so many reasons that you will want to call Henderson home.  Located on the Southern

rim of the Las Vegas Valley, the city has been recognized across the nation for the quality of life that it has to offer to its residents. From the first glance, the splendor of being surrounded by such natural beauties as Lake Mead, Sloan Canyon National Conservation area and the Black Mountains is enough to capture the heart of anyone.  However, if you are someone that needs to see more than natural beauty, check out some of these top awards that the City of Henderson has recently received.   In 1997 Money Magazine rated Henderson in the top 50 of "Safest Cities" in the US.  In 1997, as well the Washington-based group, Zero Population Growth rated Henderson in the top 50 cities to be named "Kid Friendly."  The City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department is one of only 13 agencies throughout the country to earn both accreditation by the National Recreation and Park Association (2001) and the National Gold Medal for Excellence in Parks and Recreation Administration (1999). Furthermore, Henderson was named Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Sports town for the state of Nevada.

 

Awards such as these can speak a thousand words.  Henderson truly is the City to Call Home.  The city has so many amenities to enjoy, such as golf courses, 40 developed parks, ball fields, tennis courts, 57 miles of trails, performing arts facilities, Senior Centers, and so much more!  It is just one of the missions of the government of Henderson, to enhance the quality of life for residents by providing an escape from the urban setting, with the opportunity to engage in recreational activities, stroll through scenic areas, and conserve wildlife. And with the Las Vegas strip only miles away it will also be easy to access the big city amenities as well.  Just as former President Kennedy predicted years ago, Henderson, Nevada is the "Place to Call Home!"
