Henderson’s commercial life clusters around a few strong districts: the walkable District at Green Valley Ranch, the characterful Water Street downtown, the Galleria at Sunset mall corridor, and the St. Rose/Anthem retail spine in south Henderson. No part of the city is far from groceries and services.
