Richmond promotes Evergreen

Richmond American's Evergreen Collection in the Starlight Trails neighborhood is located off Durango Road and Windmill Avenue in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. Prices range from the high $200,000s to the low $300,000s.

Floor plans include Spruce, Juniper and Cedar. They range from 1,600 to 2,200 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and 2 1/2 to three baths. The homes are also available at Coyote Willows, situated just outside of Mountain's Edge.

"These plans really have a lot of nice features, and each home offers something unique," said Darcey Calderon, a sales agent at Starlight Trails. "The Cedar and the Juniper both offer the option of a first-floor bedroom, which is a popular choice with a lot of buyers. The Spruce has a striking entrance with volume ceilings in the formal living room, and larger families like this design because it offers an optional fifth bedroom or a loft upstairs."

The collection's largest floor plan is the Spruce, featuring four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2,000 square feet. The second level offers an optional loft or a fifth bedroom with a walk-in closet, adding about 200 square feet. The main level features a formal living room with volume ceilings, family room, dining room and kitchen with a food- preparation island and breakfast nook.

The Juniper and the Cedar both include three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, with an optional fourth bedroom available on the first floor.

The 1,900-square-foot Juniper features two-story ceilings in the entry. The family room, kitchen and nook offer an open layout. Other highlights include a formal dining room or optional fourth bedroom, an upstairs laundry room and a master suite across the hall from the secondary bedrooms.

The Cedar is a 1,600-square-foot home offering a family room off the entry and a U-shaped kitchen complete with a nook and food-preparation island.

Home buyers can opt for a fourth bedroom or a den in lieu of the dining room. Upstairs, there is the master suite with private bath and walk-in closet, a laundry room and two secondary bedrooms that each feature an entrance to an adjoining bathroom.
