Inspirada aims to inspire recreation

Inspirada, a master-planned community taking shape in the southern foothillls of the Las Vegas Valley, offers recreational amenities such as parks and trails.

"Inspirada truly is a city within a city, offering residents easy access to schools, community centers, swimming pools, baseball and soccer fields, active and serene parks, restaurants, shopping and more," said John A. Ritter, chairman and chief executive officer of Focus Property Group, which operates as the general manager of the community. "Unlike any other planned communities in the valley, Inspirada homeowners will not have to rely solely on their cars to enjoy all of these amenities because Inspirada is designed for those who love to walk or ride a bike."

More than 300 acres of land are geared to parks and open space, including more than 20 miles of trails.

The community features seven villages, each with amenities reflective of its theme.

Music is the theme of Solista, which has its own park with swimming pools and a play area, as well as a community center. Ceramista features planned activities such as Farmer's Markets and craft fairs.

Palestra offers residents athletic fields and venues, including a community pool complex. Nestled between Ceramista and Palestra is Balera, a village that celebrates dance.

The village of Esplora neighbors the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and will be the trailhead for the hiking destination. Pintura offers art classes, workshops and contests. Cienza features star gazing and activities at the community center.

The Civita town center features dining and shopping outlets, including a 1,000-room neighborhood resort and casino. Festivals and concerts will take place at the village, which is connected by and surrounded with 22 miles of walking trails and bicycle paths and tree-lined boulevards.
