Henderson VS Summerlin – What’s the Difference?
Henderson VS Summerlin – What’s the Difference? Finding the best place to move to in the Las Vegas Valley can be tough, but not because your options are limited. But because you have a ton of options to choose from.
I get a lot of out of state clients who tell me that they are interested in Henderson or Summerlin, but really do not know the difference between the two. Henderson and Summerlin are two of the most popular areas in the region.
Summerlin sits partly within the official city limits of Las Vegas, 20 to 30 minutes west of The Las Vegas Strip, with a population of 123,950. It is very close to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the Spring Mountain Range.
While Henderson is about 16 miles from the city and is located southeast of The Strip, with an estimated population of 310,390 in 2018.
So, this is something most people don’t understand, in reality you can’t compare the two. Henderson is actually a city in Nevada with many different master-planned communities. While Summerlin is the largest master-planned community in Las Vegas. To me this is a huge difference!
If you ask any local though, they will have an opinion about both areas and will prefer one over the other. Because the two areas are so similar in style, they are always getting compared. But which side of town is better?
Each of them has its benefits and could be a suitable choice for your next home. Deciding to move to Henderson or Summerlin can be hard, but we’ve come up with some tips to help you decide which place could be best for you.
