Pardee to open Horizon Ridge in Henderson

Pardee Homes will hold a grand opening for its Horizon Ridge neighborhood in Henderson on Sept. 29.

The new neighborhood, south of the Las Vegas Beltway at Horizon Ridge Parkway and Gibson Road, will feature the company's LivingSmart brand.

Horizon Ridge is a collection of three two-story floor plans that range from 2,183 to 3,001 square feet with great rooms, bonus rooms, as many as seven bedrooms and optional decks.

Each floor plan can be built with an optional patio/outdoor room with a unique 12-foot glider package that allows the room to open to the outside.

Prices are expected to start from the mid-$200,000s.

"We're excited to open Horizon Ridge and expand our offering of new homes in Henderson, which is consistently ranked as a top place to live and play," Pardee Homes regional sales manager Rob Tuvell said.

According to the city of Henderson's website (www.
cityofhenderson.com), Henderson was named one of "America's 50 Best Cities" by Bloomberg BusinessWeek in 2011 and has been named a Playful City USA by KaBOOM! in 2011 and 2012. This national recognition program honors cities and towns that make play a priority and use innovative programs to get children active.

Floor plans at Horizon Ridge include the Plan Two, which measures 2,183 square feet with four bedrooms, three baths, great room, spacious kitchen, and two-car garage with optional third bay or workshop in a two-story design.

Plan Three measures 2,523 square feet with four bedrooms, three baths, great room, dining room, loft and three-car garage and can be built with an optional fifth bedroom instead of the loft.

Plan Four measures 3,001 square feet with five bedrooms, three baths, extra-large bonus room, living room, game room and three-car garage.

Other optional features include a den instead of the living room and optional two additional bedrooms and fourth bath instead of the game room.

Pardee's LivingSmart brand is a program with 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 in new home, Tuvell said.

LivingSmart provides more than 30 Earth-friendly standard and optional systems and features for new-home buyers, and it applies to every newly designed home the company offers, Tuvell said.

Pardee also includes slab-granite kitchen countertops, radiant-roof barrier, stainless steel appliances and birch cabinets as standard features that are included in the price of the home.

To visit off the Las Vegas Beltway at Gibson Road in Henderson., exit the Beltway at Gibson and travel south. Turn left onto Horizon Ridge Parkway and then right onto Hodgson Street, and the models are ahead on the left.

Effective Sept. 29, sales office hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday. For more information, visit www.pardeehomes.com or call a new- homes representative at 702-604-3332.

Through two new programs, Pardee is helping many families overcome obstacles to buying a new home, Tuvell said.

Offered exclusively for Pardee homebuyers in this market, Smart Move Advantage, an independent company, will rent a qualified buyer's existing home for as many as three years, allowing them to take advantage of the best buyer's market in decades, according to Tuvell.

"The Smart Move Advantage program represents one of several steps Pardee Homes has taken to boost buyer confidence and smooth the path to new-home ownership," he said.

Through Pardee's own Homeward Bound program, prospective buyers receive expert assistance on credit issues that can affect home loan availability.

Pardee, one of the West's largest and longest-established homebuilders, has built homes for more than 40,000 families in Southern Nevada since 1952.
