True Cost of Renting in Henderson

Henderson is Las Vegas's upscale southeastern suburb, consistently ranked one of the safest large US cities. The Green Valley master-planned community, Lake Las Vegas, and the Water Street District create three distinct rental submarkets at different price points. Henderson's proximity to the Strip (15–20 min via I-215) and its own growing employment base make it competitive with Summerlin as a top address in the Las Vegas Valley.

New construction in the Cadence master-planned community (east Henderson) has added significant supply. Renters insurance averages $16–22/month.
