I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Good video. My wife and I chose Henderson, specifically what they're now calling West Henderson, as it is quite similar to the community we came from in the Los Angeles area, but without the $100K premium you pay for Summerlin (same new build house from the same builder was roughly $100K more in Summerlin, at least it was back when we moved here in 2018). So, for less money, you get a house in West Henderson, you avoid the traffic congestion around Summerlin (though it's still not a patch on LA traffic), and you don't have to drive through somewhat sketchy areas from The Strip to your home, if you work there, which my wife does (in West Henderson, just hop on I-15 [or the 215] and you're at The Strip or the Airport, whereas if you live in Summerlin, you may have to go through some old Vegas neighborhoods, and the less desirable denizens who inhabit those streets as one goes east towards The Strip, or west heading back home, or you're commuting in slower freeway traffic than what you'd hit on the 15). Personally, I don't like living in "enclave" areas, where you have to travel through questionable areas to get to your "safe" community; and in West Henderson, basically south of St. Rose Parkway, there's no bad area to drive through or worry about, and it's very quiet. Pro tip(s): As mentioned, there are a lot of parks, and each new build community usually has several. Some come with basketball courts and dog parks. Unless you're a lover of the sounds of basketballs bouncing, loud hip-hop music, shouting, and swearing, avoid living anywhere near the part of the park that has the basketball court, and avoid the dog park section, unless you love the sound of barking dogs.

My only real issue with Henderson is how long it "can" take to get on the highway depending on where in Hendo you are. It can get annoying if you're too far off the highway trying to get to one. Other than that, it's great.

I like the Vibe of Summerlin and i am visiting Las Vegas soon!

[dannymartial]

My complaint with Henderson is the lack of good restaurants and high-end shopping malls. I feel like everywhere that's worth going is a really far drive away. Gotta go west to find any good restaurants or to buy clothes.

Lived in Henderson for eight years great for people with kids. I've lived in Summerlin for 12 years and love it! You have so much entertainment and outdoor activities. Downtown Summerlin with shops and restaurants. Never a dull moment.

So much energy you have. Great video.

Hederson's better. There's more to do in Henderson than in Summerlin.

Everything u need in Henderson is walking distance. U can pretty much get anywhere in Henderson pretty quick. & u got the Lake near by too.

The best place to live in Henderson is The Green Valley area/ Horizon ridge starting at McCollough hills. Its upscale neighborhood & For millionaires it has Mcdonald ranch. Its just a really nice area. Safe too.

I used to live in the lakes area of Vegas, I loved it

[angiemassie]

We moved to Summerlin in 2007 from California really enjoying very laid-back

Your video content is AWESOME! I can also see and feel you are very passionate about and genuinely love helping others; and you TRULY know your stuff. I will be reaching out❣ Thank you

Please keep preaching Summerlin and Henderson! Those of us who live central would appreciate Scotch 80, McNeil Estates, Artisan Heights, Pinto Palomino, plus some of the more affordable adjacent neighborhoods in the general Medical District area remain a "best kept secret".

We hate being 4 minutes from Arts District, 5 minutes from Smith Center, 10 minutes from The Strip. We who live "old school Vegas" have over 200 restaurants of ALL ethnicities (many mom and pop) within 10 minutes of us. And, none of our friends anywhere in the Valley are too far to visit. Because, no part of the Valley is over 30 minutes from us (tops).

Let alone this area still is the true core of power in Las Vegas.

But shhhoossshh.... Don't tell anyone.

My 8 yr old daughter’s dad has lived in Las Vegas for about 3 yrs now. Circumstances as they are, we are now needing to move there with him this summer. With both myself & my daughter being born & raised in southern Mississippi this is not a move I am looking forward to making. We have traveled to Vegas many times now in the last 3 yrs & are somewhat familiar with the area, but it is not home. The desert landscape absolutely has a breathtaking beauty all its own; however, it isn’t the miles upon miles of lush green land we are used to. Not to mention the outside country space we have here as opposed to homes that are right on top of each other. Here my daughter can simply go outside & play for hrs at a time climbing trees, riding her bike, or playing on the merry-go-round that we have while I cook supper, or do other house hold chores. The rental her dad currently lives in, there is no backyard & the driveway is so tiny you can’t even comfortably open your vehicle doors to get in & out. His truck doesn’t even fit in the garage (& it’s not a big truck). We’re used to seeing the country, having privacy, & space to spread out. This move is out of necessity & im so nervous about it all. I just wish we could find a more open space. Something with some kind of backyard & natural light inside the home. Something with character & personality. Everything there seems to all look the same. Most all the homes I’ve seen are built basically the exact same way with the exact same color scheme of the desert landscape. Therefore, everything just seems to all blend in together. I just wish we could find something affordable that’s a more ideal living space for us that might make this transition a little less heartbreaking. We are moving away from our home, our family, everything & everyone we’ve ever known & love!! I want my daughter to be happy, go to a good school, & thrive. Right now I fear we’ll feel suffocated.

Both locations sound great. Summerlin is probably what I'm going for, but I have a year to truly decide.

Henderson is 117 degrees of heat and Summerlin is 114 degrees. So, Summerlin is cooler.

[sworks]

The difference between Summerlin vs Henderson is in the summer one is living in the desert and the other one is like living on the sun. You get shade from the mountains in the summer 1 hour before Henderson at sunset. Temperature difference is 10-15 degrees.

[sexygeek]

I chose Henderson because the places I needed to go to (such as work) were in the southeast part of the valley. I also wanted to avoid HOAs and I don't think that is possible in Summerlin.
