Why State Farm is one of our top picks
At a time when lots of competitors are no longer insuring homes in areas prone to wildfires or hurricanes, State Farm continues to offer its relatively affordable and highly rated home insurance to homeowners in every corner of the country.
And it doesn't skimp on coverage, offering flood, wildfire, and earthquake protection — one of few competitors that offers all three insurance policies to homeowners in high-risk states nationwide.
Plus, while many competitors don't have the financial strength to pay out claims after several natural disasters in the same year, State Farm isn't one of them. It earns the highest rating possible from A.M. Best for financial strength and stability — only six insurance companies out of nearly 70 we reviewed hold this title.
How much does State Farm home insurance cost compared to the Henderson average?
A State Farm home insurance policy in Henderson costs an average of $1,187 per year.
In comparison, the average cost of home insurance in Nevada is $1,191 per year, according to sample quotes provided to Policygenius from Quadrant Information Services. This is less than the national average of $1,754 per year.

There are many affordable options to choose from when shopping for home insurance in Henderson. A Policygenius agent can help you on your way to finding the right company, and policy, to suit your needs. Here are some steps to help you get started:
5 steps to buying homeowners insurance in Henderson, NV
Reach out to a licensed Policygenius agent. If you need help determining your coverage amounts or sifting through unfamiliar terminology, our Policygenius agents are there to lend a hand.

Figure out how much you can afford to pay for your deductible. Choosing a high policy deductible can lower your premiums significantly, so if your house doesn’t face much or any risk, it may be worth setting your deductible to $2,000 or higher.
Compare quotes from a Policygenius agent. Our agents can help you compare quotes from several different companies and make recommendations based on your coverage and budget needs.
Choose your policy, sign, and pay your first premium. Once you choose a home insurance policy, all that’s left for you to do is sign and pay your first premium. A Policygenius agent will take care of the rest.
