The Cliffs village in Summerlin welcomes its second neighborhood, Vistara by Pulte Homes

The Cliffs village, in the master-planned community of Summerlin, recently welcomed its second neighborhood, Vistara by Pulte Homes.

This gated neighborhood includes six single- and two-story homes from 2,156 to 2,599 square feet offering two to five bedrooms, including a first-floor master bedroom, and 2½to 4½ bathrooms.

Vistara homes are designed to embrace a “rugged contemporary” architectural style in harmony with the surrounding environment. Large covered patios and balconies, multipanel sliders and outdoor built-in fireplaces and barbecues seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Pulte keeps consumers top of mind when designing such features as ample storage and large living spaces, as well as included, industry-leading home warranties and energy-efficient details. These elements combine to earn Vistara a 3.1 Energy Star rating and superior build quality. These include tankless water heaters, Energy Star appliances, low-E windows and high-SEER HVAC systems. Vistara homes are priced from the high $300,000s.

“Vistara is a great addition to The Cliffs village as it begins to take shape,” Danielle Bisterfeldt, vice president of marketing — Summerlin at The Howard Hughes Corp., said. “Pulte Homes has a long history of building beautiful and quality homes in Summerlin, and Vistara is no exception. Designed with a contemporary aesthetic for today’s families, these handsome homes perfectly blend with The Cliffs’ ruggedly striking topography and offer many options for true outdoor and indoor living in a home that is energy-wise and spacious — a winning combination.”

Offering exquisite views of the Las Vegas Valley and the Strip to the east and the Spring Mountains to the west, The Cliffs village opened early this year and welcomed its first neighborhood, Toll Brothers’ Regency at Summerlin, the first age-qualified neighborhood in the community in more than 15 years. The village has been designed to maximize the area’s terraced landscape, allowing for unobstructed views in some neighborhoods. To further maintain the area’s natural beauty, parcels of land within the village will remain undisturbed and undeveloped

The Cliffs village will be home to 11 neighborhoods encompassing more than 1,700 homes.

Village amenities include Faiss Middle School, Faiss Community Park, Wet ‘n’ Wild water park and an indoor aquatic center built by The Howard Hughes Corp. that was deeded to Clark County in July. A new public elementary school is set to open in 2017, and future trails and a Summerlin village park are in the planning stages.

A Cliffs village address comes standard with all that Summerlin offers: 235 parks, 150-plus miles of interconnected trails, 10 golf courses, more than two-dozen public and private schools and more. Nearby Downtown Summerlin boasts more than 106 acres of dining, shopping and entertainment, including new and recently opened Kate Hudson’s Fabletics, Casa Del Matador and Dave &Buster’s.

Stretching south of Bishop Gorman High School, near the southernmost tip of the community, The Cliffs is conveniently located near the 215 Beltway for easy access to all points in the valley, including McCarran International Airport, the Strip and Downtown Summerlin.
