Aliante – More to Offer

Aliante will always remain in the real estate news of Las Vegas because something new is always happening there that is worth talking about. One of the nicest things about this1905 acre master-planned community in North Las Vegas is that more than 400 acres of land within Aliante, which is approximately 22 percent of the master plan, is dedicated to recreational and public use. The community is perfect for those who seek an active life style.

New plans are being offered at several subdivisions which are sure to be very popular. La Vella by KB Home Builders features nine floor plans in Tuscany and Valencia. Tuscany has four two-story floor plans from over 2300 to nearly 3000 square feet with prices starting in the mid-$300,000s. Palermo with four bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a two-car garage is one of the most popular floor plans the builders have, with a den on the first floor and a loft and laundry room on the second floor.

Valencia features smaller homes in five one- and two-story floor plans, ranging from just over 1,230 to 2,300 square feet and prices starting in the high $200,000s. Here the Tuscan floor plan seems ideal for those who have people over all the time as the kitchen opens up to a breakfast nook and its raised counter top bar opens to the dining room.
