Horizon Park promotes amenities

Centex Homes' Horizon Park in North Las Vegas provides homeowners with an array of neighborhood amenities, according to sales agent Marc Gonzalez.

"Horizon Park offers the winning combination that keeps people coming and buying," he said. "We're close to major shopping, newer schools and all of the freeways, plus we have the 11-acre Desert Horizons Park right in our backyard."

Covered playground equipment, horseshoe pits, soccer fields and bocce, basketball and tennis courts fill the city's Desert Horizons Park. The area also features walking trails, picnic areas and spaces for outdoor concerts and movies.

"We do our homework and are consistently the best- priced homes in the area," Gonzalez said.

Centex Homes ranked highest in customer satisfaction among new-home builders in Las Vegas in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 New Home Customer Satisfaction StudySM. The study, which gauged opinions of consumers who purchased new homes in 2006, was based on 50,401 total responses in 34 markets and measured 18 builders in Clark County. The study results are based on experiences and perceptions of consumers surveyed from March through July 2007. For more information, visit jdpower.com.
