Tuscano Condominiums –Best Value in the Southwest

Condominiums continue to be the top choice of first time home buyers mainly because they are more affordable than single-family detached homes. More people prefer to invest in condos with the rising cost of housing. Many apartments have been converted to meet the demand of people buying condos in order to become homeowners. Several people buying now do have the idea of moving to bigger units or detached homes when they can afford it. Condominiums are preferred by them now as they believe that there is always a better chance of selling a condo than a single detached home. More people can afford condos than any other types of housing.

A good choice of small units set in a well maintained resort style complex is Tuscano Condominium Homes. The developers claim this is the most luxurious community in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. The homes offer beautiful views of the city and the mountains; those that don’t, face the clubhouse and pool. The complex is doing well as the facilities offered are good and Tuscano is located near golf courses, good schools, shopping, restaurants, freeway access, and excellent medical facilities. The bright lights of Las Vegas are not far off nor are the rugged charm and activities of Canyon Rock. The Nevada Trails Park is just about ten minutes away and offers a fitness course, walking trail, tennis court, basketball court, and picnic areas.

This is a beautiful area and most parts of the property provide great views of the mountains and surrounding scenery. The common areas of this gated development include two swimming pools, a well equipped spa and state of the art fitness center. A modern business center, clubhouse and putting green are some of the other attractions of the community that nestles on acres of landscaped land. The prices at this resort style condominium complex are affordable for first time buyers and the builders are offering some preferred lender incentives, particularly on the two bedroom homes.

Homes are available in five floor plans with prices starting in the high $140,000s. They range from 700 to over 1,150 square feet with one to three bedrooms. Some of the units feature bedrooms separated by the living areas. The Merano floor plan is 700 square feet and includes one bedroom and one bath as also Biella which is larger at 775 square feet. Two others are two bedroom and two bath homes, Sorrento is a compact 940 square feet home and the Verona plan is over a thousand square feet. Savona is the largest plan at over 1,150 square feet and has three bedrooms and two baths. Covered parking and detached garages are available.

The homes are well equipped with all appliances such as a microwave, dishwasher, full size washer and dryer. The convenient kitchen has laminate countertops, breakfast bar, natural oak cabinetry and stainless steel sink as well as a kitchen pantry and storage room. Master bedrooms feature walk-in closets, vanity with drawers and private balcony or patio. Select homes even have walk-in closets in the secondary bedrooms, dual sinks and tile surround in the master baths. Tiled entry and vaulted ceilings add to the elegance.
