Astoria Homes Sells First Home in Their Newest Community of Parkside Estates

Astoria Homes, best known for their contemporary design, fantastic pricing and superior construction quality is pleased to announce their first home has been sold at their newest community, Parkside Estates.

Chris and Ana Jaramillo, both native Las Vegans, have just purchased Residence 2 in Parkside Estates. Over the last few months, they have looked at nearly every model home in the southwest section of the valley. They saw an ad in the newspaper for Astoria Homes and this led them to Parkside Estates. There, they met with sales agent Pam Harris, looked at the floorplans and walked through the framed models. Then they went to Autumn Ridge, another Astoria Homes community, and looked at similar models there.

"We were originally under contract with another developer and we backed out, " says Chris. He adds, " We liked all of the floorplans, the builder quality, the upfront pricing and the fact that we didn't have to pay a lot premium for our size lot."

The Jaramillos chose the Residence 2 floorplan because of the large square footage and the layout. They like the unique step-up and step-down into the formal dining room and sunken family room, the overlook at the top of the stairs and the volume ceilings. "I particularly like the huge laundry room and the spacious kitchen, where I guess I'll be spending a lot of my time," Ana laughs.

Chris and Ana like the contemporary style of the Parkside Estates homes and the fact that they don't look like cookie cutter houses. "We like that every single amenity in the house that we want is not an option, that it's all included," says Chris.

The Jaramillos are especially fond of the trail system in the neighborhood, the gated entrance and the tot lot, that their eleven-week old daughter, Sabrina, will get to enjoy in the future. The location on the Northwest side, right by the mountains, was also a key factor in making their decision.

When the Jaramillo family gets to move into their home in early September, they plan on adding a pool and fencing off the backyard area. For them, September can't come soon enough!

Parkside Estates is located off of I-95 North at the Durango exit, left to Racel and El Capitan.
