Homebuilder Astoria
Homes Unveils Fields at Aliante
Style. Presence.
Exquisite. Classic. Four key words
that describe Fields at Aliante.
The latest offering in Astoria
Homes' award-winning communities,
Fields will please and amaze even
the most sophisticated eye, as
the homebuilder's team of designers
pooled their respective talents
and efforts to offer a magnificent
collection of homes. No expense
was spared to achieve the quality
craftsmanship Fields will be known
for.
"The Fields
at Aliante is simply breathtaking," said
Astoria Homes Vice President of
Marketing Sia Howe. "Our buyer
will not only enjoy the quality
homes, but appreciate the beauty
and popularity of Northwest Las
Vegas."
A member of the Aliante
family, a new master-planned community
in Northwest Las Vegas, you can
find Fields at Elkhorn road, west
of Aliante Parkway. Predicted as
a rival to all other master planned
communitites in Las Vegas, Aliante
will provide the perfect atmosphere
for the active lifestyle. Residents
of Fields will enjoy a plethora
of amenities that include a 72-par
municipal championship golf course,
20-acre Nature Discovery Park,
outdoor stage with a ramada, soccer
fields, tennis courts, volleyball
stadium, two community parks, natural
arroyo, and more than 24 miles
of lit concrete trails for leisure
time. Movie theaters, restaurants
and shopping venues are also nearby.
Four and five bedroom
homes are offered in this community,
aimed at buyers who think roomy
and spacious in terms of their
dream abode. Square footage ranges
between 2,228 to 3,374 square feet,
offering two-and-a-half to three
bathrooms, two- to three-car garages,
lofts, bonus rooms, and owner retreats.
"We expect Fields
will stand as one of Astoria's
fastest selling communities to
date," said Howe. "It
will be tough to beat the combination
of superb, quality homes and an
atmosphere that offers so many
wonderful amenities."
Fields' homes are
equipped with a number of extraordinary
exterior and interior featrues.
Astoria has included a number of
brand name featrues in each of
its homes: custom color schemes,
Mohawk® Portico® carpeting,
elegant Canac® oak cabinetry,
Rainbird® sprinkler systems,
MonierLifetile® roofs, Kohler® faucets
and sinks, Therma-Tru® fiberglass
doors, and Whirpool® appliances
- just to name a few. With five
distinct floorplans to choose from,
buyers will discover courtyards,
decks, spacious kitchens, quaint
breakfast nooks, impressive bathrooms,
casitas and much more.
"The exterior
architectural design, professional
colorizing and stonework is truly
stunning," said Howe. "New
homebuyers will be delighted."
An attractive bonus
to purchasing a Fields home is
the inclusion of Astoria's 'More
for Your Money' message. Astoria
residents receive "More" of
everything including rooms per
square foot and reputable brand
name featrues, as well as Astoria's
renowned quality, value, attention
to detail, cutomer care and super
amenities that make buying an Astoria
home a value that simply cannot
be matched.
Fields at Aliante
is environmentally friendly to
maintain Astoria's commitment to
Energy Star and overall energy
consciousness. Astoria Homes has
become a nationally recognized
leader of Energy Star, and EPA-approved
system that makes homes at least
30 percent more energy efficient,
providing cost savings to the homeowner.
Every home at Fields, along with
Astoria's other communities, has
Energy Star built into each house.
Astoria recently received "Home
Builder of the Year" honors
from the Nevada Association of
Mortgage Broker at theri first
annual "Most Ethical" Awards.
Astoria's other communities,
which range from the low-$200,000's,
to the high $400,000's, include:
Prominence at Aliante; Independence,
The Verandas at The Peaks, and
The Courtyards at The Peaks in
the Southwest; and The Hills in
Henderson. Another development
is Tapestry, a mini-master planned
community that is located in Centennial
Hills Town Center in Northwest
Las Vegas. Tapestry includes the
neighborhoods of The Avenues, The
Lanes and The Courts.
In addition to the three-story floor plans, new to the Las Vegas Valley,
Tapestry residences also include kitchens with Whirlpool® appliances,
Wilsonart® laminate countertops and Canac® oak cabinetry. All appliances
are included as part of the builder's 100% Home package.
The Avenues
Five of the models are for The Avenues, the most affordable of the three
communities, which offers two to three-bedroom homes that span up to 1,295
square feet. Priced from the low-$200,000s, the homes all feature one-car
garages and either courtyards or decks.
The Lanes
The next step up in square footage is The Lanes, which offers six different
models that range from 1,478 to 2,232 square feet and include three to
four bedrooms. Two-car garages are standard, and courtyards and decks are
accompanied by lofts, bonus rooms or home offices that provide more room
for families to grow. These homes are priced from the mid-$200,000s to
the low-$300,000s.
The Courts
The last four models are the largest, measuring from 1,987 to 2,479 square
feet. Priced starting in the high-$200,000s, they also offer home offices
and bonus rooms.
Diversifying the streetscape
All three of the neighborhoods are unified with the help of 18 color schemes
created by Miriam Tate & Co. These color schemes, when paired with
a variety of 51 elevations, combine to form a total of 918 different residential
combinations, ensuring that Tapestry takes on a diverse neighborhood feel. "In
addition, we have specially designed plans specific for our corner home
sites to add even more diversity and interest," Howe says.
The configuration of the homes in
each neighborhood also varies. While
homes at The Avenues are front loaded,
The Lanes is an eight-pack alley
loaded product with paseos, and The
Courts is a six-pack alley loaded
with wider paseos.
One of Tapestry's three-story offerings,
Residence 805 at The Lanes measures
2,232 square feet with three bedrooms,
a home office, deck and bonus room.
More is better
Offering buyers more for their money, however, is not something that Astoria
measures only in square feet. The features found within the community,
and within the individual homes, also go a step beyond the norm.
For instance, Astoria Homes is proud
of the fact that they build an Energy
Star® certified product. At Tapestry,
each of the homes is inspected to
ensure it is worthy of the distinction,
which to homeowners means a substantial
decrease in energy bills. At least
30 percent more efficient than the
Model Energy Code, these homes include
features such as Milgard® vinyl
windows with Low E4™ glass,
Rheem® high-efficiency 40-gallon
water heaters and Quickflash™ weatherproofing
on exterior plumbing and HVAC penetrations.
Giving 100 percent
Astoria also offers what it calls the "100% Home" package. Homes
with this package, including all the homes at Tapestry, feature extras such
as window treatments, landscaping and appliances by Whirlpool® - including
a washer/dryer, built-in microwave and refrigerator - already included in
the home, eliminating the need for the costly purchases that must often be
made before move-in.
A Triumph
On top of all of these extras, Tapestry goes one step farther with community
amenities designed to create a true neighborhood feel. At Tapestry, this
means three large parks with three pools and pool houses, as well as grassy
covered picnic areas, play systems and basketball half-courts. "All
of this creates an atmosphere for getting to know your neighbors and building
a community," Howe says.
