Plans let you live in ‘Harmony’

Finding the right home at the right location can be a challenge for Southern Nevadans, as they sift through options of new-home neighborhoods, re-sales and distressed properties. Two neighborhoods to visit are Harmony Homes' Summit and Talus at Sunrise Highlands.

According to sales associate Richard Helmly, value-conscious homebuyers have been impressed by the neighborhoods' location within the 160-acre Sunrise Highlands community near the base of Sunrise Mountain, as well as the designer touches included in each home.

"What sets Talus and Summit apart from other neighborhoods is the value. Other builders say that their homes offer value, but for me, value is a combination of having extremely low-interest rates and the fact that housing prices have dropped significantly since 2005," Helmly said.

"This is critically important for buyers to understand because we probably won't see this combination ever again in Las Vegas.

"Buyers discover further value at Summit and Talus with all of the designer touches included in each home. The fact is that Harmony Homes puts in a great deal of standard features in their homes that other builders offer as options.

"We include things like soft-water loops, granite kitchen countertops, cultured marble in the bathrooms, dual sinks in the master suites, raised-panel doors and paver driveways."

Summit features six designs. Three single-story floor plans offer 1,817 to 2,600 square feet, three or four bedrooms, two or 2½ baths and prices from $169,990.

Two-story designs are priced from $229,990 and feature 3,383 to 3,754 square feet, four to six bedrooms and 2½ or three baths.

Talus features three floor plans priced from $179,990. The two-story homes measure from 2,409 to 3,024 square feet and include three or four bedrooms with options for as many as six bedrooms, as well as 2½ baths with an optional third bath.

Limited-time incentives are available at both neighborhoods. Visit the neighborhoods for details.

"In addition to the homes themselves, our buyers have been impressed with the neighborhoods' location in Sunrise Highlands and the proximity to recreation, schools and shopping," Helmly said. "There are also shaded picnic areas and open play areas.

"Sunrise Highlands is conveniently located near great public facilities like the Hollywood Center and Park, an aquatic center that offers both indoor and outdoor swimming, an amphitheater and a golf course."
