Why Henderson, NV is the #1 City in the Nation for Early Retirement

Early retirement doesn’t have to be a dream. For many of my clients, it’s a very real plan already in motion—and their destination of choice? Henderson, Nevada. Ranked #1 in the nation for the most affordable cities for early retirement, Henderson is quickly becoming the crown jewel for those ready to trade in the daily grind for sunshine, space, and smart investing.

I’m seeing a growing trend: buyers are scooping up homes 5 to 7 years before they plan to retire, locking in prices and rental income while letting their future homes pay for themselves. With interest rates still favorable and rental demand in high gear, this is one of the most strategic real estate moves I’ve seen.
