Ardiente – Active Adult Community

Las Vegas is probably the first choice of retirees and it offers some of the finest active adult and retirement communities in the country. Great weather, unparalleled recreation, no state income tax, competitive cost of living, and numerous adult oriented activities in the Las Vegas area means that the "over 50" population is a significant proportion of the six thousand odd people moving to the valley every month. No better place to get over the Empty Nest Syndrome than in this 24-hour town in the company of other residents who share one’s interests.

Residential, commercial and civic expansion continues in North Las Vegas at a brisk pace and, Ardiente, by Centex Homes, is the newest active adult community. Construction is proceeding at record speed here and it looks like a spring move in is more than likely. Ardiente combines a great Las Vegas location with a healthy and relaxing low maintenance, resort lifestyle. This beautiful guard gated community will feature walking trails, recreational activities, 13,000-square-foot clubhouse, themed parks and swimming pools. One can still purchase a newly constructed home here.

The developers have appointed a recreation director who is developing activities for the residents who will be able to keep busy both in the neighborhood and in the surrounding area. The clubhouse is part of an activities complex that includes a pool for laps and another for casual swimmers, a bocce court, tennis courts, putting greens, an exercise facility, and meeting rooms. Outdoor amenities also include several parks connected by paths and exercise stations. Pet lovers will appreciate the dog run. A rose garden with shade structures and picnic facilities is also on the cards.

Ardiente offers 788 homes in eight floor plans. The European theme continues with the names. Barcelona, around twelve hundred square foot features two bedrooms, two baths, a great room, a den, a front porch and a rear patio. Granada, at 1,400-square-foot has an additional breakfast nook. If you want a two-bedroom home with a dining room Cordova is for you.

Valencia provides you with three bedrooms or two bedrooms and an office, two baths, a den, a great room, a breakfast nook and an island kitchen. Torino has two bedrooms, two baths, a den and a kitchen with an island that unites the dining room, great room and breakfast nook.
