For me, living in Henderson, NV wasn’t too bad of a living experience but I wasn’t in my parents’ or other local’s shoes. While it does have beautiful scenery and an atmosphere that may feel like a good place to raise a family later in life, the expenses definitely can change anyone’s mind to want to search for something better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have gathered my information based on my personal local experience, research from other locals’ opinions, and parental background with fifteen years of living in Henderson. It is a high hope that the information present will serve as good food for thought when it comes to choosing the ideal place to either live for yourself or raising a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Marijuana is Legal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it’s more so of personal moral if you feel marijuana is an ethically needed drug or is more often used in correctly, this plant-based substance is legal in Nevada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are worried about your kids coming across it within the school districts or other sources, you need to know that it is fully legal for adults and easy for kids to access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Desert State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you find peace within a woodsy area or don’t have any recreational gear to go over sand dunes or even hunting, there isn’t much for you to be looking at both figuratively and literally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though if you like that kind of desert oasis vibe, it is a really nice place to live, and when you plan accordingly, the weather changes aren’t too bad to deal with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Small Yards and Dense Neighborhoods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hope you like living in close-knitted communities because you’re heading towards it. There is very little space to be given for each homeowner to really have a lot of square footage to have your dream yard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’d be looking at on average 1\/16th of an acre which does add into the property tax ($3,000\/month) that you will have to pay along with the overall monthly mortgage. Gardening is also hard because of the weather that constantly changes throughout the year, especially in the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Hot Temperatures <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For four months of the year, on average the heat can get to be 115 F to 123 F. It’s ridiculously hot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ends up leading to higher power bills for just air conditioning alone, adding on another whopping $400-600 per month. So adding onto the depressing land ownership, hope you like kiddie pools for your day out in the sun for a barbeque skin tan. <\/p>\n\n\n

13. Lots of Drought <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Utah and California are best known for their droughts, Nevada isn’t any better. A good portion of your budget will need to go towards water storage just in case if something happens. According to drought.gov, 28.7% of Nevada, particularly in the area where Henderson is located, are in a Drought Stage 4 where the following is to be noted: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
