Pulte diversifies Summerlin

Pulte Homes offers myriad single- and two-story designs within four neighborhoods in The Paseos and The Vistas villages in Summerlin.

"Pulte Homes builds in the neighborhoods home buyers most want to live in," said Susan Allen, general sales manager for Summerlin.

The 22,500-acre master-planned community is located along the valley's western edge. It features parks, trails, golf courses, schools, houses of worship, cultural facilities, retail and business centers, and medical facilities.

Escala, located in The Paseos, offers the valley's first "Water Smart" home, which was designed along with members of the Southern Nevada Water Authority Youth Advisory Council to conserve water. Floor plans range from 1,900 to 2,410 square feet and are priced from the $620,000s.

Cordova, also in The Paseos, offers single- and two-story designs ranging from 1,625 to 1,911 square feet. They are priced from the $430,000s.

The builder will be the only one to offer single-story homes within Palomar, the first gated multibuilder neighborhood in The Paseos. Measuring 2,120 to 2,505 square feet, the homes are priced from the $720,000s and include features such as maple kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, 18X18 tile flooring, upgraded carpet and pad, two-tone paint, 5-inch baseboards, appliances, fireplace, and covered patio. In addition, garages are finished and include 5-inch baseboards.

Located within The Vistas, Miramonte offers single-story homes ranging from 2,584 to 2,720 square feet and priced from the $680,000s.
