11 Safest Places to Live in the U.S.
6) Henderson, Nevada
This city of around 300,000 is the second largest in Nevada and one of the nation’s safest communities. As a state, Nevada’s crime average is higher than the national average. However, it seems Henderson holds itself to higher standards. Henderson ranks well below the national average of violent and property crime rates. Henderson is considered safer than over half the cities in the U.S. Residents here enjoy the River Mountain Loop Trail which connects places like the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The Mojave Desert, Grand Canyon, and Joshua Tree are just a few of the tours you can embark on from the backseat of a Hummer H2. There are also a variety of excellent restaurants, from creative gourmet-bistros, to international buffets, to the healthy twist LYFE puts on its fast food. Bonus: Henderson is just a short twenty-minute drive to Las Vegas.
