Summerlin to open new age-qualified community

Summerlin's newest age-qualified neighborhood, Montechiaro by Westmark Homes, will soon begin taking shape. Located on 50-plus acres on the southwest corner of Flamingo Road and Town Center Drive, the mid-rise neighborhood will offer three housing options that range from 1,200 to 2,900 square feet. Pricing is expected to range from the mid-$300,000s to $800,000.

"To reflect the changing market and the growing interest in diverse housing options, Summerlin is expanding its own home offerings," said Peggy Chandler, senior vice president of community development for The Howard Hughes Corp., an affiliate of General Growth Properties and developer of Summerlin.

Plans for Montechiaro include multiple three- and four-story Mediterranean-inspired buildings situated around a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse.

The clubhouse will include a conference room, business center, arts and craft room, computer room, multi-purpose ballroom, gallery, coffee and snack bar, catering kitchen, card and billiard rooms, exercise facility, aerobics/Pilates studio, steam/sauna rooms, a wellness center and an indoor pool.

The clubhouse will be situated around a large central courtyard area that will feature an outdoor pool and spa area, ramadas, barbecue areas and gardens. In addition, the neighborhood will feature bocce and pickle ball courts and an extensive trail system equipped with drinking fountains ideal for walking or running enthusiasts.

"The social and recreational offerings of our neighborhoods are very important to mature adults seeking more than just a place to live," said Mark Oiness, president of Westmark Homes.

Montechiaro features include attached garages or underground parking, and buildings will have elevators. For more information on Montechiaro, call 648-2050 or visit westmarklv.com.
