Where is Paseo Verde? Inside the Henderson community behind Nevada’s LLWS run

Paseo Verde Little League celebrated Nevada’s second straight U.S. Little League World Series championship before returning to its home base in Henderson. The league operates from the southeastern portion of the Las Vegas Valley, drawing its boundaries from parts of ZIP codes 89052, 89044 and 89012. Its primary fields sit at Anthem Hills Park, located west of Gibson Road. This area encompasses several sizable residential neighborhoods, notably the Anthem community. Founded in 1999 by four local families seeking a nearby option for their children, Paseo Verde has since become one of the state’s most accomplished Little League programs. It is among only two Nevada leagues to advance to a Western Regional title game and has produced numerous district and state champions. The communities within the league’s footprint account for a substantial share of Henderson’s populace. City demographic estimates place the combined population of the three ZIP codes at over 143,000 residents for 2026. Income levels vary across the zones: median household income stands at roughly $105,000 in 89052, $120,000 in 89044 and $114,000 in 89012. Age distribution also differs. ZIP code 89044 records the highest proportion of residents under 18 at 20 percent, followed by 89012 at 19.01 percent and 89052 at 17.13 percent. Educational attainment is particularly notable in 89052, which includes Anthem; census data indicate more than 22,000 residents there hold at least a bachelor’s degree, while upwards of 17 percent possess a master’s degree or higher. These statistics illustrate the socioeconomic profile of the neighborhoods that supply Paseo Verde’s players and underscore the broader characteristics of the region from which the league recruits. Meanwhile, Henderson itself continues to expand, with the city’s demographic office projecting a population of about 370,000 by 2026. That growth has elevated Henderson to one of Nevada’s largest municipalities and broadened the talent pool available to Paseo Verde, supporting the program’s ongoing success.
