Homes in Henderson

Henderson is a city of houses: of its 141,297 homes, 69% are detached, 7% are townhouses and other attached houses and 22% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.

Much of Henderson is new: 53% of homes were built 2000 or later, and only 7% before 1980. The median home dates from 2001. 66% of homes are lived in by their owners.

Of the 10 Nevada cities we have census figures for, Henderson has some of the newest homes. In Paradise, 9 miles away, 59% of homes are apartments, more than here. Nationally, Henderson's homes are newer than those in 95% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Shallow openings

53% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, and handles, cranks and alarm sensors stick out into the space a louver swings through. Measure the depth to the glass and to anything that sticks out; the designer checks it against the louver size you pick.

Choosing a louver size

Rounded drywall corners

93% of homes here were built from 1980 on, and many houses of that era have rounded ("bullnose") drywall corners around the windows instead of square returns. A shutter can't sit flat against a curve: choose an outside mount with a frame that clears the corner, or an inside mount if the flat part of the opening is deep enough for your louvers.

How to measure

Whole-house orders

With 69% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street, and if you have an HOA, send it the drawings before you order.

Months of hard sun

With 137 days a year above 90°F, sun on the window is the main thing shutters do here. Closed louvers stop direct sun before it reaches the room; angled up, they still let light bounce off the ceiling. On south and west windows, white and light finishes stay cooler and show fading less than dark stains; keep stains for windows out of the afternoon sun.
