Rhodes has ‘Major’ homes

Rhodes Ranch will ring in the New Year by offering homes at the Southwest master plan that are ready for immediate move-in.

"With the current economy, many home shoppers have been waiting for the right time to get the best value on their new home," said Rhodes Ranch sales agent John Smith. "I can tell you that without question, these are the best values per square foot you will find in Las Vegas that are also offered with such fantastic amenities."

For those interested in value for their dollar, Rhodes Ranch has five homes available at The Majors with price reductions and upgrades.

"Each home has $40,000 to $50,000 in upgrades in addition to price reductions that are already in place," Smith said.

"This is one of the most unique designs in Rhodes Ranch with a circular staircase near the entrance that creates a very open and dramatic effect," Smith said. "The den on the first floor can be used as an office, guest room or game room and the loft is also multi-functional."
