Peaks Prepares for Grand Opening

Model homes are under construction at Astoria Homes’ The Peaks community, which features two neighborhoods: The Courtyards and The Verandas. The models are expected to open in August.

A sales office opened on Saturday, July 19, allowing home shoppers to view the floorplans and features.

The development is situated in Coronado Ranch, east of Rainbow Boulevard and Warm Springs Road.

The Astoria Homes team is very enthusiastic about the Peaks and the fact that we are once again fulfilling a need in Las Vegas by helping residents become first-time homeowner’s,” company executive Sia Howe said.

The Courtyards offers five designs, ranging from 1,124 to 1,275 square feet with two or three bedrooms. One plan features a loft.

The Verandas’ five designs measure from 1,432 to 1,653 square feet with two to four bedrooms. Select plans include retreats or lofts.

Homes at both neighborhoods also offer courtyards and decks. In addition, the homes are ENERGY STAR-certified, making them at least 30 percent more energy efficient than a standard home.

Plans for The Peaks community include two linear parks, two pools, a playground with water features, a basketball half-court, covered picnic areas and lawns.

Prices start from the low to mid-$100,000s.
