Rhodes offers homes for under $100 per square foot

According to sales agent DeAnna Forsyth, activity has increased at Rhodes Ranch. "I am happy to say we've gotten increasingly busy over the past four months helping home shoppers find the perfect home at Rhodes Ranch," Forsyth said. "They have found that the grass was not greener in foreclosures and new homes provide a critical peace of mind that was not possible when looking at bank-owned properties. With a new home, you know you are the first person to live in the home, have your offer accepted within a few days and can avoid all the headaches associated with resales."

And with prices starting under $100 per square foot, Forsyth said Rhodes Ranch homebuyers receive access to resort-style amenities unavailable at any other community in the area. "Starting with a 24-hour guard-gated entrance, Rhodes Ranch residents have access to an award-winning golf course, miles of walking trails, expansive recreation center, pools and the Fun Zone Water Park," she said. "Many people know they want to live here before they even enter the gates. It's just a matter of finding the right home to suit your lifestyle."

The Fairways Collection offers four floor plans ranging from 2,515 to 2,903 square feet. The homes include elements such as a great room, breakfast nook, den, loft and game room per plan. According to Forsyth, flexibility is available in every plan to suit each resident. "Depending on the size of your family you can have three, four or five bedrooms in lieu of a master retreat or loft in some plans," she said.

Among The Fairways' highlights are kitchen islands, oversized walk-in closets, great rooms and lofts, which are offered per plan.

"Pricing starts at just $265,990 for a 2,515-square-foot home," Forsyth said. "And our largest plan is being offered under $100 per square foot. These prices are competitive to any new home community in the area, but with the added benefits of our amenities."

The builder is paying closing costs as much as 3 percent of each home's sale price, adding up to $15,000 in upgrades and options. "Combine these savings with perfectly located home sites, and you have a winning combination," Forsyth said.

Among the popular amenities at Rhodes Ranch is the million-dollar R-Club, which spans 35,000-square-feet. It includes an indoor workout facility with weights and cardiovascular equipment, a full-length basketball court and two racquetball/handball courts. Residents can participate in a variety of group classes including Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, total body conditioning and circuit training.

The Rhodes Ranch Golf Club, designed by architect Ted Robinson, is a par-72 course named a Best Value by Vegas Golfer magazine.
