Toll Brothers readies townhome models within Summerlin

Toll Brothers is putting the finishing touches on its six model homes at Fairway Hills in the luxury village of The Ridges in the master-planned community of Summerlin.

Scheduled to open this fall, the model homes represent all six available floor plans in the two-story townhome neighborhood.

Floor plans range from 1,966 to 2,956 square feet and are priced in the mid-$600,000s.

Homes will include features such as entry courtyards, balconies, formal dining rooms and covered patios. Master suites feature walk-in closets, soaking tubs with separate showers and twin sinks with custom wood vanities.

"Our homes at Fairway Hills complement the elegance and high standard of luxurious living associated with an address in The Ridges," said Gary Mayo, group president for Toll Brothers.

Planned neighborhood amenities include a private clubhouse, fitness center, media room, swimming pool, three spas, barbecue area, fire pit, recreation area, putting green, covered community patio and catering kitchen.

The neighborhood will complement the existing amenities already located in The Ridges Village, including one of the world's first Bear's Best golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus; and Club Ridges, an exclusive fitness and health club that features private tennis courts, swimming pools, fitness center and a community center for the exclusive use of Ridges residents.

The Ridges is a nearly 800-acre, guard-gated luxury residential village nestled against the mountainside adjacent to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

The Howard Hughes Corp. commenced development on The Ridges in 2000. Three years later, the neighborhood was named the third-most exclusive gated community in America by Forbes.com.

The Howard Hughes Corporation is an affiliate of General Growth Properties Inc.

Summerlin began to take shape in 1990 when Southern Nevada's population was less than 1 million and it seemed unthinkable to many that the city would ever be built out all the way to the mountains at the valley's western edge.

Summerlin is a 22,500-acre master-planned community that's currently home to more than 95,000 residents.

With about 7,500 acres still to develop, including its urban core, Summerlin Centre, Summerlin remains a work in progress.

Summerlin is home to more than 100 neighborhood and village parks, more than 150 miles of the Summerlin trail system, nine golf courses, a dozen houses of worship, shopping centers, medical and cultural facilities, business parks, 22 public and private schools and more than 100 actively selling floor plans.

Homes are available in a variety of styles -- from single-family homes to townhomes, condominiums and lofts -- priced from the low $200,000s to more than $2 million.

Custom home sites in The Ridges are priced from the $500,000s.

Luxury apartment homes offer monthly rents starting from the low $1,000s.
