Henderson.
Nevada's Premier City.
America's safest large city. Master-planned excellence from Green Valley to MacDonald Highlands. Lake Las Vegas. Inspirada. Seven Hills. This is where the valley's best communities are built.
America's Safest Large City. Nevada's Most Livable Address.
Henderson is Nevada's second-largest city and one of the most consistently well-regarded communities in the American Southwest. Repeatedly named one of the safest large cities in the United States, Henderson has built a reputation for exceptional master-planned communities, well-funded public schools, manicured parks, and a quality of life that draws relocating buyers and owner-occupants from across the country.
The city stretches from the established Green Valley corridor in the north to the dramatic ridgeline estates of MacDonald Highlands in the east, down to the resort-style waterfront of Lake Las Vegas in the southeast, and the newer master plans of Inspirada and Cadence in the southwest. Each submarket carries its own distinct character, price range, and lifestyle identity. Choosing between them requires the kind of on-the-ground knowledge that only comes from years of closing transactions across every zip code.
Serena Heuser has guided over 600 buyers across the Henderson market, from entry-level purchases in Cadence to luxury closings in MacDonald Highlands. Tom has listed and sold Henderson homes from Green Valley to Seven Hills. Together, they bring the same depth of local expertise to Henderson that defines their Summerlin practice.
Lake Las Vegas
One of the most distinctive resort-residential communities in the American Southwest, a 320-acre private lake surrounded by Mediterranean-inspired architecture, championship golf, boutique hotels, waterfront dining, and luxury residential neighborhoods unlike anything else in the Las Vegas Valley.

Henderson Is Not One Market. It Is Ten.

It is a fundamentally different real estate decision. Navigating Henderson well requires agents who have closed transactions across every submarket at every price point.
Buying in Henderson
Serena has guided buyers through every Henderson community on this page. She knows why a home in Inspirada carries a different value profile than a comparable-priced home in Cadence, what the HOA structure differences mean for your long-term costs, and which communities are positioned for the strongest appreciation. She will not let you buy the wrong home in the right city.
Selling in Henderson
Tom's appraiser-level pricing approach is especially valuable in Henderson, where the same zip code can contain communities with dramatically different price tiers and buyer pools. Pricing a Seven Hills estate the same way you price a Green Valley townhome is a mistake that costs sellers real money. Tom's record of 99% of original list price speaks for itself.
