Tantara – A Family Choice from Rhodes Homes

The southwest part of the Las Vegas valley has always been a favorite with people looking to move there because of the good infrastructure development in that part of the city. Of course, it does not hurt that the property value is also appreciating very satisfactorily. Rhodes Homes have always been popular and trusted developers and their project in the south west that is now ready, seems to be well received. Buyers have been so receptive to the Big Value Days at Rhodes Homes' Tantara neighborhood, that the builder is continuing the promotion for a limited basis. With its close proximity to the Las Vegas Beltway and nearby developments, buying a home in Tantara seems to be a good idea to many. Many are also looking at it seriously as a vacation or second home because the value they can get for their money at Tantara, makes it worthwhile. People especially appreciate all the home's energy saving and family friendly features and its location.

Rhodes Homes is also developing its entire Tantara neighborhood beautifully. It already features an attractive children's park. The entire community is designed to be really very family friendly. Every day you see children and their parents at the park and taking walks throughout the community.

The home is spacious, especially the second floor. I liked the high ceilings and European cabinets in the home The Bugatti model is Tantara’s largest and offers homebuyers a loft which also has the option to be converted into a fourth bedroom.
