Master-planned living attracts Southern Californians to Aliante

When former Southern Californians Rodney Cobb and Rosalind Jamerson-Cobb were ready to relocate to Southern Nevada six years ago, they spent nearly a year looking at homes and neighborhoods across the Las Vegas valley. At the time, the Aliante master-planned community was in the earliest phase of its development.

"We drove by Aliante one night and were very impressed by what we saw," Rosalind Jamerson-Cobb said. "So the next day, we made a point to come back and take a closer look, including a visit to the Aliante Information Gallery. Coming from Southern California, we were familiar with the concept and benefits associated with master planned living. What we saw planned for Aliante was awesome. We looked at a few of the new neighborhoods under construction here and very shortly after we were among the very first buyers here."

Since moving into their new Aliante home, the couple has been very pleased with the way development has progressed at the community which is now in the final phase of sales.

"Nature Discovery Park, two additional city park golf courses and the trail system are all excellent venues for outdoor fun and recreation," she said. "Other amenities we are pleased to have close to home are the public library, retail shopping centers, eateries, and a public elementary school, which our grandchild will be attending next year, when our daughter moves here. We are very pleased with our decision to buy a home at Aliante and certainly recommend this community to others seeking a nice home in true family-oriented environment."

Five neighborhoods are currently being offered by three homebuilders within Aliante. Homes are available to suit singles, couples and families representing all sizes and ages.
