We do love our Master Planned Communities here in Vegas.
Out on the West side of town, you’ll find Summerlin. Summerlin has been around for some years, but parts are still under construction. In fact, this weekend some of the builders are having what is billed as America’s Biggest Open House (warning, inline sound until it loads). There will be 75 model homes in 19 neighborhoods built by 12 builders. If you would rather look at these homes from the privacy of your own home, there’s a virtual tour option at the bottom of the page. Interesting fact: Summerlin is named after Howard Hughes’s Grandmother!
Down in Henderson — the Southeast end of town — we have Anthem. Also with new construction still underway, it is in a rapidly growing area of town. It has the advantage of being relatively near the airport.
Still in the South part of town, we have Mountain’s Edge. In addition to providing housing to thousands of families (at a profit, of course), and putting thousands of tradesmen to work building that housing, they actually have environmental and philanthropic goals. Oh, and they are the #1 selling master planned community in the country for 2007.
Of course, #5 on that same list is Providence, a very new community on the Northwest side. I have discussed Providence before, and you can read it here.
Oops! I almost forgot Alliante, on our North side. Over 20% of their acreage is dedicated to public and recreational use. That includes 24 miles of concrete trails and yet another championship-quality golf course. Vegas is big on golf.
If you would like expert assistance finding a new or resale home in any of these great communities — or anywhere else in the Las Vegas Valley — be sure to call me or click the “Contact Me!” link in the side column.
