Vacation Home
Posted: Sat April 29, 2006 06:48 AM UTC

We are in the process of looking for a vacation home in Henderson, Nevada. The location of one which we like on the internet was described as being right off the 215 at Valle Verde. Is that a "good", safe part of town? Having never been there, I'd appreciate any help.

The area you describe is actually in my neighborhood and it is one of the best areas in all of Henderson and certainly better than any area in nearby Las Vegas! It is close to the police department, close to upscale restaurants and lots of nice stores. You will definately like this area and feel quite safe.
Good luck.

LOL Dave!! Are you referring to our hometown "bad boy" racer? BTW, nobody would need to explain tire chirping to me! See my album regarding our racing days!

Racing was a "hoot" of a lot of fun. Roaring engines that make your heart pound, the thrill of victory and the agony of a wrecked car!!!

Husum: Hope that you don't mind our digression from your original question! This often happens among VT folks! If you have any other questions about Henderson or Vegas, please feel free to e-mail me.

Catherine,
Thanks for your "legit" answers.
Didn't quite know what do do with the comments from Dave. I'm a brandnew VT subscriber, English is not my native language, so I had no clue what "chirping tires" meant, so at first was quite confused about his post.

Husum - we were just playing with words in here, no worries.
You have located a perfect area, you will not be disappointed in the area.

Sorry for jumping post Husum. I was alluding to another post in my answer. I just found it quite interesting that some one was asking about a smaller, but growing, area of Nevada that Catherine lives in.

It's growing so fast, it's unreal, but everything looks so new that I really like it. Population, approx. 300,000. Far enough away from Vegas riff-raff, yet close enough to easily see the Strip or whatever.

Catherine,
Thanks for the offer to answer more questions which I'm sure I'll have once the time for our visit draws closer (October).
