Lennar's Antelope neighborhood bounds into northwestern valley, offers cul-de-sac living

Lennar's Antelope neighborhood near Providence, a northwestern master-planned community, offers two-story, single-family homes situated along a traditional cul-de-sac design.

"With the wonderful foothill location of our community you can almost imagine the antelopes, deer and longhorn sheep grazing on a nearby hillside or dashing through the brush," sales manager Michele Loker said. "The elevation at Antelope is an invigorating 2,880 feet, and it is amazing what a difference those few hundred feet can make. We do actually enjoy slightly cooler summer temperatures."

The homes in the gated community start from the $200,000s. There are no SID or LID fees, according to Loker. The neighborhood features community pool and spa, and residents' clubhouse.

The four home designs include enclosed rear yard and landscaped front yard with irrigation system.

"The interiors are amazingly open and airy. They are designed to maximize each and every single square foot of space. The homes just look and feel larger, more spacious. Great design is always more exciting than big square boxes," Loker said.

The Roan floor plan offers a great-room design with two bedrooms, loft and 2 1/2 baths in 1,302 square feet

The 1,540-square-foot Eland design is a split-level design with a great room, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and two-car garage. The master bedroom and bath are located on the upper story, with two secondary bedrooms on the lower floor.

The Sable is accented by a recessed entry set at an angle. The 1,578-square-foot home offers three bedrooms and a loft. It is designed with two master bedroom suites, one on each floor, each with its own bath.

The Impala, features 1,775 square feet with three bedrooms, loft, 2 1/2 baths and two-car garage. This model features the main living areas on the ground floor, with the bedrooms and a loft on the second floor.

The homes are part of the builder's Everything's Included program, which includes added features in the overall price. Included amenities are granite countertops, raised-panel oak cabinetry, stainless steel kitchen sinks and a coordinated appliance package with range, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. Also included, are the washer and dryer and 2-inch faux wood window blinds throughout. CAT-5 (E) wiring; extensive prewiring for phones, cable, ceiling fans; and garage-door opener are included. Other features are ceramic-tile entry, upgraded carpet padding and decorative exterior coach lights with photocells.

The homes are Energy Star-certified.
