Centex to start Horizon Park sales

Centex Homes is beginning sales at its Horizon Park community in North Las Vegas with grand opening festivities planned from noon to 3 p.m. today.

Las Vegas 51s mascot "Cosmo" will make an appearance while visitors tour models and register for the chance to win 51s baseball tickets and a Target shopping spree. Refreshments will include free wraps, sandwiches and smoothies.

"With the wide variety of home designs and three phases to choose from, buyers have options galore," Lasko said. "There's been an incredible buzz about Horizon Park since we opened for presales."

According to Lasko, area amenities include the 11-acre Desert Horizons Park, new schools, commute routes, retail plazas and family dining choices.

"The Silver Mesa Recreation Center is just down the road," Lasko said, "giving residents access to fitness amenities, sparkling pools, training classes and workshops."

Additional activities offered by the facility are free movie night, picnics and recreational opportunities.
