Overview

Green Valley North is the oldest section of the Green Valley area in Henderson. Most homes and apartment complexes were constructed in the 1980s and early 1990s. As a result of their age, the landscaping in this area is mature and beautiful. Trees throughout apartment complexes off Mountain Vista, East Sunset, High View and Green Valley Parkway offer actual shade - a rarity in the desert!

The area offers all the amentias anyone could hope for, within a short drive or walk. Not that you want to walk anywhere in the summer months, keep in mind this is Las Vegas and they don't lie about the heat. It is hot. Located within a short distance are myriad options for groceries, gyms, casinos, movie theatres, restaurants, bars, bowling alleys, hairdressers and spas, parks and public recreation areas.
