Black Hawk – Soars above other Condos

Black Hawk in North Las Vegas is an attractive community which offers condominium living with a difference. North Las Vegas is booming like few other cities in the country and it is heartening to find something as aesthetic and affordable as Black Hawk. Its Mediterranean architecture and community layout sets Black Hawk apart from the run of the mill condominium development in the Las Vegas Valley. It is certainly one of the best prices per square foot and value for money available today. With prices starting in the high $100s and 200,000s it has proved to be a very popular development with most of the phases being sold out very quickly.

The two-story condominium homes at Black Hawk feature two or three bedrooms, two or 2 1/2 baths, and a one- or two-car garage. There are three floor plans ranging from a little over 1000 square feet to nearly 1400 square feet. The home sites for plans 2 and 3 are much larger than most other condominium projects in the valley. This gated complex has a well laid out one acre park, community pool, spa, tot lot, walking trail, barbeque areas and pet waste receptacles. Black Hawk is conveniently close to several shops and restaurants and local residents have access to good schools and parks.

The developers of Black Hawk offer high quality standard features that are more often optional with other developments. Condos within this price range rarely feature open floor plans, designer tract lighting, phone and cable outlets in all the rooms, raised panel doors, vaulted ceilings, vinyl-coated wire shelving in all closets, hand finished walls, ceilings with rounded corners, and ceramic tile entries. The kitchens include cabinetry in a choice of finishes, laminated countertops, separate, spacious pantries, and quality appliances such as oven and dishwasher. The master suites feature a large and open design and include vanities, dual sinks, and full-width mirrors. The homes have either a deck or patio and all have private back yards.
During early sales the builders offered several incentives like gifts of washer and dryer, refrigerator, garage door opener and vertical window blinds to those who use the builder's preferred lender. Alternatively homebuyers have a choice of $3,500 toward closing costs when purchasing a condominium home at Black Hawk.
