Eaglecrest – A New Opportunity

Las Vegas and Henderson are among the fastest growing cities in the country. New housing projects including master-planned communities and numerous housing options mushroom very day, offering buyers and investors a wide choice of possibilities. People have different priorities when it comes to selecting the type of home they want to buy or even rent and these are based on many factors, including age, professional needs, family requirements and whether it is to be a home to live in all the time or a second home.

Henderson provides an outstanding quality of life and is less crowded than Las Vegas. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation and the spectacular mountains have become synonymous with the city. The Lake Mead Recreational Area is also close by and of course the attractions of Las Vegas and the strip are a short drive away. Henderson is the only full-service city in Southern Nevada, with its dedicated police, fire and utility services for its residents.
There is now a different kind of choice being offered for those looking for an opportunity to live in a neighborhood surrounded by spectacular views of the mountains and Las Vegas. Eaglecrest is a new development of townhomes that has opened recently for sales in Henderson. The community has an attractive layout that reminds you of an oasis in the desert. The lush palm tree-lined entrance that leads to the pool, spa, and picnic and play areas gives the place a resort like ambience.

Each home is a unit designed like a townhome and has a living room, a dining room, a laundry area, and a kitchen and bar area. The standard plan has two bedrooms and the master suite provides a walk-in closet and a private balcony. The USP the builders are trying to promote are the lofts that provide views of the mountain and Las Vegas city. The townhomes offer the experience of loft living that can be used as an office, a media room, and a family room or a third bedroom. It really is up to the home owner to utilize this attractive space for his or her specific needs and taste.

Each residence also comes with an attached two car garage. These ready to be built townhomes are priced from the mid-$200,000s. The builders, National Heritage seem to be new to the region and one does not have much information on their work or track record. One can have a look at the site and get a feel of things if one is interested. Take U.S. Highway 95 south to Horizon Drive and exit right, then turn right on Horizon Ridge Parkway and follow the signs.
Living in Henderson for those who wish to relocate makes economic sense. Henderson Residents do not pay personal income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, estate and/or gift tax, and the property taxes are low. Nevada has the third lowest tax burden in the nation. Employment opportunities are plenty as Henderson has attracted numerous businesses.
