Student chooses Solevita for Strip views

Rachel "Kat" Abejuela cites the Strip views as one of the biggest reasons she purchased at Solevita Condominium Homes, located in the southeastern Las Vegas Valley.

"There is an absolutely great view of the Strip. It looks amazing, especially at night," Abejuela said. "It's the first community that I looked at and I just fell in love with it. Everything is wonderful, from the entrance to the friendly staff. It's a great community."

Abejuela is in Las Vegas on a law-office internship before she heads to Chicago this summer to start law school. She plans to keep the home while studying across the country because of its investment potential.

"The price was a steal, especially with this place being so gorgeous," she said. "It's a great investment. I just wish I could transfer the entire community to Chicago with me. And, of course, bring along a little bit of the weather as well."

Priced from the high $130,000s, the development is in proximity to the Galleria at Sunset mall, The District at Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station.

Amenities within the gated community include multiple pool and picnic areas with barbecue grills, in-ground spas, sports court with health center and tropical landscaping.

"There is a beautiful clubhouse," Abejuela said. "I was really impressed when I saw it. Everything looked so nice."

Standard features within each condo include decorative blinds, custom-designed cabinetry and ceiling fans. Buyers may select stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops. Select floor plans may include a washer and dryer and gas fireplace.

Three floor plans range from 725 to 1,221 square feet.

Abejuela purchased a second-story Medici floor plan. The two-bedroom, two-bath home within 961 square feet includes walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, Roman tub in the master bath, walk-in pantry, storage area and balcony.
