D.R. Horton neighborhoods offer single-story residences

D.R. Horton is offering single-story homes in its neighborhoods north of Ann Road.

"We are having great sales success by encouraging home shoppers to critically compare new homes to resale homes," said Scott Harwood, sales manager for D.R. Horton-Las Vegas. "Our research indicates buyers are searching longer and harder before making a purchase decision. After looking at dilapidated properties, unsuccessfully making multiple offers and discovering the risks of buying a foreclosed home, the value of a new D.R. Horton home shines through."

D.R. Horton has four northern neighborhoods for home shoppers to tour. They are Riverwalk Cove, North Ranch Manor, Riverwalk Vistas and La Ventina, which are available with prices and incentives.

The model home, 1950, at North Ranch Manor demonstrates the versatility, warmth and comfort families have come to expect from a D.R. Horton home, Harwood said.

This unique four-bedroom, single-story home, allows for a three-car garage and a Nevada room, which Harwood said provides privacy and flexibility for large families.

North Ranch Manor offers single-story floor plans that range from 1,755 to 2,550 square feet, and are priced from $169,900. To visit, (GPS: 75 Fox Crossing Ave., 89084) travel north on Losee Road to Deer Springs Way, turn left on Goldfield Street and follow the signs. The model is open until 5 p.m. daily.

The featured floor plan at The Vistas is a four-bedroom home that is more than 2,000 square feet.

"Realtors compliment this community on a regular basis," Harwood said. "With amenities including a community pool and park, and prices starting from $149,900, it's hard to find a comparable 'bang for the buck'."

The Vistas is located at Tropical Parkway and Decatur Boulevard. Homeowners are minutes from new shopping and dining venues, and have easy access to the Las Vegas Beltway. Models are located one block south of the beltway and North Decatur. Travel east on Tropical from Decatur and turn left on Centennial Road. (GPS: 6116 Towboat St., 89031).

The builder's La Ventina has the Sheep Mountains as its backdrop. These homes measure as much as 3,400 square feet. Some include RV parking and Horton's new FROG floor plans. These Flex Room Over Garage homes, provide a single-story living experience, while providing a second-story element over the garage that can be utilized as additional bedrooms, family areas or a "man cave," Harwood said.

To visit La Ventina, take Jones Boulevard north past Grand Teton Drive to the wide open spaces of the northern valley. (GPS: 5805 Cozumel Place, 89131)
