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.
