Coldwater Ranch – Family Oriented

Why buy a new home as opposed to an older one? This is a question that homebuyers often debate, particularly when older homes seem at first sight to be greater value for money. A brand new home actually has a number of advantages. New homes usually have the latest energy efficient features, consume less energy and are designed with large expanses of windows. They feature high grades of insulation in walls and ceilings, double-paned, thermal-insulated or tinted windows, advanced heating and cooling systems and advanced air filtration systems.

New homes are usually equipped with new appliances with state of the art design and functionality. Most new homes are wired to support digital home theatre systems, high speed internet access, multiple telephone lines, alarm systems, time controlled sprinkler systems. Home shoppers with growing families have other needs to fulfill like convenient schooling, family friendly neighborhoods and so on.

Coldwater Ranch in the northeastern Las Vegas Valley fulfills most of the above. A Lennar DS neighborhood, Coldwater Ranch features floor plans designed for growing families. They are spacious and include a variety of useful rooms like super family rooms, great rooms, parlors, nooks, lofts, game rooms and bonus rooms. All these features within the home are useful while kids are growing up. The energy saving features of the Energy Star Program is a benefit too.
Single and two story homes ranging from over 1600 to nearly 2500 square feet have three or four bedrooms and two to three baths. The homes have two or three-car garages with storage. Prices start from the low $300,000s. Seventeen acres of green space with four parks, basketball court, picnic area, soccer fields, tot lot and volleyball court keeps the children well occupied after school.

Model homes exhibit kitchens with granite counter tops, black or stainless-steel state-of-the-art appliances, maple, hickory or cherry wood coordinated flat-panel cabinetry and backyard access. Home makers will appreciate thoughtful features like interior laundry rooms, easy to clean grout-less gel coat shower and surrounds and the designer tiles in the kitchen, laundry and entrance area. Who says drudgery need not be in the midst of beauty? The homes are pre-wired for home security and home theater and feature delightful covered porches, patios and/or decks. Telephone pre-wire in the kitchen and bedrooms is another bonus.

Coldwater Ranch seems to combine the best of both worlds: attractive, well planned new homes with a location that is convenient and safe. The bonus is many local sites to explore and enjoy an active lifestyle with the family. There are six attractive and well designed single and 2-story floor plans to choose from. The spacious rooms, inviting master suites with separate shower, garden tub, and walk-in wardrobes are attractive features. Some home-sites are large enough for a pool.

Another factor to consider is the low maintenance cost of the homes and less up keep required for home sites. Financial considerations are often an issue with first time home buyers. Lennar services include mortgage, title and insurance and are available to ensure ease and security in your purchase.
