Live large in a Summerlin condo

While single-family homes are still the dream of many, condominiums, town homes, lofts and other urban-style options are growing in popularity for obvious reasons: Their typically smaller floor plans equate to less maintenance; yard work is nonexistent; and there are often abundant amenities on-site. In Summerlin, six neighborhoods offering 35 attached home floor plans in a range of sizes and price ranges deliver convenient, maintenance-free living surrounded by amenities that encourage a healthy, active lifestyle.

According to Danielle Bisterfeldt, vice president of marketing for Summerlin, homes that better accommodate a more experiential and “lock and leave” lifestyle are being sought by all ages — from millennials to empty nesters. “As the dream of homeownership evolves, so do the options in Summerlin. More and more, we are seeing an interesting variety of attached homes to meet the growing demand for homes with smaller footprints and less maintenance, allowing residents to live more freely.”

Two town home neighborhoods are in Redpoint Square within Summerlin West — the newest area of the community to take shape west of the 215 Beltway with many stunning vistas and vantage points throughout. Both neighborhoods include existing and future schools, and a planned future community park that will eventually become a hallmark of the Redpoint Square district.

The first neighborhood is Ascent by KB Home, offering six floor plans from 1,448 square feet to 1,860 square feet, priced from the low $300,000s. Ideal for those seeking a modern, contemporary floor plan, including first-time homebuyers, Ascent homes offer from two to four bedrooms, 2½ baths and two-car garages.

The second town home neighborhood in Redpoint Square is Moro Rock by Richmond American Homes. Offering two duet-style floor plans, Moro Rock’s Urban Collection features two distinctive, open and contemporary floor plans. The Boston spans 1,510 square feet; and the Chicago floor plan spans 1,520 square feet. Both two-story paired-homes include three bedrooms, 2½ baths and a two-car garage. Both models are priced from the low to mid-$300,000s.

Affinity by Taylor Morrison in Summerlin Centre, just west of the 215 Beltway is a one-of-a-kind neighborhood offering distinct living arrangements. Remaining at Affinity is the Luna collection offering three two-story town homes from 1,643 square feet to 2,098 square feet, priced from the high $300,000s. Affinity town homes are within walking distance of Downtown Summerlin, which includes Red Rock Resort, Las Vegas Ballpark and City National Arena.
