Location and Character

Green Valley South is bounded roughly by Warm Springs Road to the north, Wigwam Parkway to the south, and extends between Pecos Road and Valle Verde Drive. The section earned its "Emerald" nickname because of the extensive community landscaping, mature tree canopy, and green common areas that distinguish it from the surrounding desert landscape. Cornerstone Park, one of Henderson's premier parks, anchors the section at 1600 Wigwam Parkway.

Local Expert Insight

Ryan Rose considers Green Valley South the sweet spot of the community.
