KB Home condo comforts nurse

Chris Luttkus has spent the past 30 years making people feel better. As a nurse, her days are filled with comforting and helping others. Recently, Luttkus was able to do something to make herself feel better -- she bought a new home at KB Home's Tripoly at Town Center, a condominium development in the northwestern valley.

"I love my new home," she said. "I have been wanting a home of my own since I moved to Las Vegas nine years ago, and I'm thrilled to finally be here."

Luttkus said her Contemporary floor plan is perfect for her and her dog, Buster. It measures 1,227 square feet and has two bedrooms, a great room, dining area, two baths and an attached garage.

"I really like that there is no one living below me, and that I have a private entrance to my garage," Luttkus said. "I also like not having to worry about caring for a yard. It suits us perfectly.

"I love to travel and want to be able to just get in the car and go whenever I want. My home affords me the opportunity to live in a beautiful, comfortable environment and still have money left over for me."

Units range from 1,227 to 1,535 square feet and are priced from the high $100,000s.

The gated development, located near Durango Drive and U.S. Highway 95, has a swimming pool.

To visit, take U.S. Highway 95 to Durango Drive, go west to Oso Blanca Road and turn right. Proceed to Severance Lane and turn left. Or, take Interstate 215 to Durango Drive and go north to Oso Blanca Road, turn left and then left again on Severance Lane. The models are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Monday, when they open at 11 a.m.

The builder offers three additional Tripoly developments in the valley: Tripoly at Desert Pines, located near U.S. Highway 95 and Craig Road; Tripoly at Warm Springs, located near Interstate 215 and Jones Boulevard; and Tripoly at Stephanie, located near Interstate 215 and Stephanie Street in Henderson.

One-stop shopping is offered at the KB Home design center, where buyers may select options and upgrades and prospective buyers can receive free financial advice, including credit reports, and assistance locating a home in one of the builder's subdivisions. It is located at 7440 S. Industrial Road, Suite 201.
