Near the southeast corner of Durango Drive and Pebble Road in the southwest valley, the community offers plans that range from 2,972 to 3,849 square feet on one-third-acre home sites. Prices start at $373,490.

The home designs feature as many as five bedrooms, optional detached casitas, three-car garages, Nevada Rooms (optional enclosed rooms instead of a covered patio), large kitchens, great rooms and optional recreational vehicle parking pads.

"There are a lot of buyers, including many from outside of Southern Nevada, who are looking for single-story homes with extra space," Tuvell said.

Plan One offers three bedrooms, three baths, office or optional fourth bedroom, great room, dining room and three-car garage in 2,972 square feet. It is priced from $373,490.

The homes include standard features such as 42-inch birch kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances, slab-granite kitchen countertops in a choice of four colors and two-tone interior paint.

Durango Ranch also is part of Pardee Homes' LivingSmart program that includes standard and optional measures that boost energy efficiency, save water, improve indoor air quality and encourage material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources, Tuvell said.
