The South Shore course has been  named by Golf Digest as one of the top 10 private golf courses in the United States. The Seven Hills development is composed of more than 40 model homes – many with elegant Italian and Mediterranean architectural features – and uniquely designed parks and trails. The MacDonald Ranch retirement community has its own golf course, Desert Willow, as well as a variety of outstanding amenities. Reasonably priced housing is located closer to the center of town for University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and an electric selection of book-stores and cafes. The new Las Vegas beltway connects the southeast part of the Valley with the rest of the city. Homeowners need not travel more than a few minutes for business or pleasure, which includes restaurants; shopping, including the new Galleria mall; and casinos, such as the Fiesta Henderson and Sunset Station.

Henderson History
|
The city of Henderson is first settled in 1929 when it was known as Pittman. Neighboring Basic Townsite was later settled in 1941 with the annexations all being post war additions.
Pittman settlement was the result of the Boulder Dam construction. It was also known as Midway City. The tents and temporary buildings ruled the land until the construction was completed, leaving Pittman in a declining state. The Basic Magnesium Plant was later built as a result of WWII brought life back to the town. It was then granted a post office and its name changed to Midway City. The city was officially named Henderson in 1943 after the late Senator Charles B. Henderson as the construction of the magnesium plant completed.
Henderson is not only one of the faster developing cities in Nevada, it also has several of the largest developments under construction in the State.
