Family sees new ‘Horizon’ in home

Joshua and Cassidy Stanley were ready to purchase a home.

"We had been living with my parents while I attended school to become a pharmacist and we were ready to have our own home," said Joshua Stanley, who now works as a pharmacist for a major retail chain.

The couple, parents of young sons Jordan, age 6, and Andrew, age 4, spent a full year looking at resale homes and foreclosures. Finally, their real estate agent took them to Pardee Homes' Horizon in the Eldorado planned community of North Las Vegas.

"We were amazed at what we could get at Horizon, where we were able to purchase not just a home -- our dream home -- for a little bit more than we were preparing to spend on a resale or foreclosed home that would have needed a lot of work," Joshua Stanley said. "We are thankful that our real estate agent showed us what a new home could offer, and grateful to have a beautiful new home to call our own."

The family is also excited by the location, which is close to well-established parks, including the boys' favorite Nature Discovery Park. They also like that their new home is part of Pardee's EnergySmart program.

EnergySmart homes are enhanced with money-saving and energy-efficient features, including spectrally selective glass that will keep the homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and additional ceiling insulation and sealed ducts for improved air quality and reduced energy loss.

Every EnergySmart home is designed and independently certified to exceed local energy codes, according to Rob Tuvell, regional sales director for Pardee Homes.

"When you buy a home from Pardee, you also are buying into our legacy in Southern Nevada, where we've built homes for more than 30,000 families since 1952," Tuvell said. "And, you get the backing of a company that stands behind its product, something you won't always get when you purchase a foreclosure."
