Lennar’s Lamplight Gardens bloom

Spring has come to Lennar's Lamplight Gardens at Silverado Ranch in the southeastern portion of the Las Vegas Valley.

The gated neighborhood is anchored by a village center park that features a clubhouse, community swimming pool, basketball court, children's playground, built-in barbecues, picnic tables and a turn-of-the-century-style gazebo.

"The park is the perfect setting for a garden party, a family picnic or an afternoon of fun and games with the children," said Michael Campbell, sales manager for the community. "Lamplight Gardens has its own neighborhood personality and that is exactly what appealed to our homeowners."

Floor plans include: The Lilac with 1,286 square feet, the Iris with 1,341 square feet and the Orchid with 1,369 square feet.

The home plans are based on an open, airy great-room design with three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Home prices start in the $200,000s.

The home's price tag includes all appliances, including ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, washers and dryers. Other standard amenities are granite kitchen countertops, raised-panel oak cabinetry, ceramic-tile entries, plush wall-to-wall carpeting, decorative no-wax flooring in the kitchens, laundry rooms and baths, high-tech wiring and prewiring and window coverings throughout.

Each home has a covered entry and a fully enclosed backyard.

Homes are Energy Star certified with insulation, programmable thermostats, low-e windows and doors, energy-efficient gas-heating system and 13 SEER air conditioning.

To visit, take Interstate 215, the Las Vegas Beltway, to Eastern Avenue, exit south on Eastern to St. Rose Parkway, then west on St. Rose to Spencer Avenue. Travel north to Cactus Road. Models are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, except Monday, when they close at 3 p.m.
