Crestone and Cameron at Mountain’s Edge – New!

Ryland Homes unveils the first phase of two neighborhoods this weekend within Mountain's Edge, a master-planned community in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. The builder offers its TrueU design center for homebuyers, and financing options through Ryland Mortgage, which is a big advantage. Ryland Mortgage also offer a variety of unique programs to accommodate homebuyers with income or credit concerns, such as extended qualifying features and lender-paid closing cost assistance.

Mountain's Edge has been planned as a complete community, designated area for retail and commercial use, professional services, and schools. Additional acreage has been reserved for professional offices of doctors and dentists. The new neighborhoods are named Cameron and Crestone.

Cameron at Mountain's Edge offers four floor plans, ranging from thirteen hundred to over two thousand square feet with two to four bedrooms and 2 to 3 1/2 baths. Prices start from the upper $200,000s. Models are on display at the site and there are some unusual designs. One of them has the conventional two-story floor plan upside down with a family room and two bedrooms on the first floor and the great room, dining room, island kitchen and master suite on the second floor. Some two-story design includes an entry that leads directly to the great room, and walk-in closets in all three bedrooms. One design offers a third floor, with the great room, dining room and island kitchen on the second floor.

Crestone at Mountain's Edge also offers four floor plans with larger area from fifteen hundred to nearly twenty two hundred square foot. They provide three or four bedrooms, and 2 1/2 or three baths. Prices start from the low $300,000s. Some homes feature an open kitchen, dining room and great-room design and some are similar to Cameron’s plans. Two designs are highlighted by a courtyard with a balcony overlook from the master bedroom or a master suite with a retreat. All homes have two-car garages.

The spectacular natural setting of Mountain's Edge is an integral part of the community. More than 500 acres of land have been devoted to open space, parks and trail systems. Among the community's signature features are Exploration Peak and, located at the base of the mountain, Exploration Park, a Western-theme recreation area. Bicycle trails and walking paths lead up to several vantage points on top of Exploration Peak, offering incredible views of the Las Vegas Valley. Exploration Park includes picnic areas, playgrounds, walking trails, replicas of a western town and Indian village, an archaeology dig site, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Several additional parks are planned, including a 300-acre regional park with baseball and sports fields. Four other communities are planned to feature tennis courts. The desert landscaping at Mountain's Edge has a spectacular appeal while it conserves the desert's most valuable resource, water. It is estimated that the landscape plan at Mountain's Edge will save over 200 million gallons of water annually versus traditional grass sod landscaping. All homes at the new development will be Energy Star Homes.
