About Student Housing in Henderson
Henderson is a Las Vegas suburb southeast of the city, and its student housing market consists primarily of UNLV students who want newer construction at lower prices than near-campus Las Vegas options. The city is suburban and car-dependent, with no meaningful transit connection to UNLV's campus. Rents are comparable to or slightly lower than the UNLV corridor in Las Vegas. Students who choose Henderson are almost exclusively doing so for housing quality and space, accepting a car commute to campus.
