Summerlin’s Tevare neighborhood home of friendships

When Ashley Flanagan and her husband, Mike, decided to move to Las Vegas from their Colorado community, they chose to live in Summerlin. Flanagan says they googled "best areas for Las Vegas living" and Summerlin was always at the top of the list.

"It was rated high for great places for families and for safety," said Flanagan, who has a 4-year-old daughter and 4-month-old son. "And we loved the close proximity to Red Rock Canyon."

After renting a home in Summerlin for a year, the Flanagans moved into The Paseos village and bought a new home in Tevare by KB Home. "We loved the neighborhood and really liked the floor plans and new construction of the homes," she said.

Six months after the Flanagans moved in, the home next door was completed and Megan and Alex Pristash moved in with their 2-year-old daughter.

"We always hoped we'd live close to other families with children the same ages as ours, so it's a real bonus to be next-door neighbors with the Pristash family. I instantly hit it off with Megan."

"We couldn't have asked for better neighbors, said Megan Pristash. "We instantly had a connection with Ashley and Mike. From game nights to instant babysitters, we absolutely love living next to them."

The gated Tevare neighborhood offers five floor plans, including one single-level home. They range from 1,849 to 2,625 square-feet and include three to five bedrooms. Tevare homes offer thousands of design options, including gourmet kitchens with large breakfast bars, granite kitchen counters and birch or maple wood cabinets. At 1,849 square feet, the single-story home offers an expansive great room with attached kitchen, loggia and separate den.

Tevare also features multiple home intelligence upgrades using Z-Wave brand technology. This includes a touch-screen keypad to monitor windows and doors, motion sensor, automated push button and keyless door locks and glass break sensors. The system also includes a wireless two-way doorbell video phone with camera connected to front door/doorbell and home intercom. Homes offer energy efficient technologies including electrical vehicle charging stations in the garage.

The Flanagan and the Pristash families enjoy the Summerlin lifestyle, taking walks along Summerlin's award-winning trail system and playing with their daughters at the 12-acre Paseos Park near their homes. Soon, a second community park will open in The Paseos. It will feature a climbing adventure theme. Tevare is also within close proximity to shopping and dining centers, including Downtown Summerlin, the 106-acre shopping, dining and entertainment center in the heart of the community.To learn more about where new homes and new friendships are being built in Summerlin, visit Summerlin.com or download the new home finding app by searching "Summerlin" in the app store.
