Villa Trieste offers green living

Pulte Homes' Villa Trieste, is offering through Oct. 31 its lowest prices of the year on all its move-in ready homes, according to Angela Steffen, sales agent for the neighborhood.

Pulte Homes' 2010 inventory blowout also features no closing costs, record-low interest rates and low payment options for all Pulte Homes neighborhoods in the Las Vegas area. Shoppers can also register onsite at any Pulte Homes neighborhood for a chance to win $10,000 in free furniture from Ashley Furniture Homestores.

"There is so much appeal to Villa Trieste and that's what makes it such a special community," Steffen said. "With only a handful of homes remaining for 2010 move-in, interested homebuyers need to visit now. There are so many reasons to buy now -- whether it's the green living, quality-built homes, great Summerlin location or the amazing year-end prices on move-in ready homes."

The 185-unit neighborhood is located in the master-planned community of Summerlin and is near world-class entertainment, shopping and dining, with easy access to freeways, Red Rock National Conservation Area and employment centers.

With homes starting in the $220,000s, home buyers can choose from four home designs ranging from 1,487 to 1,960 square feet, each of which offers the benefit of low-impact and low-maintenance living.

According to Steffen, Villa Trieste, touted as one of the most energy-efficient communities in America, opened as a result of a public-private collaboration with the UNLV Center for Energy Research and NV Energy.

The community is known for its included energy efficiencies such as solar roof paneling, tankless water heaters, in-home and online energy and water monitoring system, low-e windows, 15 SEER-rated air-conditioning systems and Energy Star appliances. Homes also feature a wall-mounted touch-screen dashboard that connects to a solar and energy meter that allow homeowners to see how much energy they are generating and using in real time, as well as a three-year heating and cooling energy usage guarantee.

As part of Summerlin, Villa Trieste homeowners have access to a 7,000-acre playground with more than 150 miles of community trails, connecting to more than 100 neighborhood and village parks, nine world-class golf courses, including Nevada's only two TPC courses, community pool, spa and park.

"This is Pulte's final sales event of the year and we're looking to blow out our 2010 inventory homes at Villa Trieste," Steffen said. "Anyone looking for a new home should take advantage of this sales event to get the lowest price on their new Pulte home and take advantage of no closing costs and record-low interest rates."
