Las Vegas Real Estate Blog

It seems auctions are the new 'thing' for trying to sell foreclosed properties. Property auctions are nothing new, they've been around for a long time. The last large auction I attended were auctioning off Valencia condos, a small condo conversion community located just off Maryland Parkway, about a half mile from UNLV. Some of the one bedroom condos sold for $50,000.

There is another auction coming for Lake Las Vegas. You can also read about it in the LA Times. The community is located in Henderson, on your way to Lake Mead. Lake Las Vegas real estate consists mostly of luxury homes, but there are a few condominium and townhome communities there. With so many foreclosures happening in the valley, its surprising there aren't more auctions going on. -cr

The master planned community of Summerlin is known for its great parks, golf courses and beautiful neighborohoods. In keeping with the grand vision of the community, The Ridges offers several custom home neighborhoods limited only by your imagination. There are two communities still offering lots for custom build homes. Some lots offer views of Bear's Best golf course and other sweeping views of the valley. The Ridges offers some of the most intimate Summerlin real estate available and was named one of the most desirable neighborhoods by Forbes magazine. Some neighborhoods have additional community amenities like private parks. There are also two neighborhoods of semi-custom homes to choose from as well.

If you prefer turnkey living or are looking for a weekend getaway, there is also a small community of townhomes by Toll Brothers. Fairway Hills townhomes has its own community amenities including a beautiful clubhouse, pool, barbecue area and putting green. There are six two story floor plans to choose from offering between two and four bedrooms.

Summerlin: The Arbors a Tennis Lover's Haven

Most people when shopping for a home relating to a sport it inevitably ends up being golf. Not that I have anything against the sport, other than I can't hit a golf ball to save my life. So it's no surprise that there are a lot of choices when it comes to golf course real estate. That's why the Arbors in Summerlin is such a rare treat for tennis afficiandos.

The Arbors is located closer to the surrounding mountains, giving it a higher elevation and consequently, great views of the city and mountains. The views are nice, but the big draw is the Arbors Tennis and Play park. It  features five outdoor tennis courts, including a stadium court that are fully lighted. The park also has a tennis pro shop! The park also has a wonderful children's area called "Arborville" that has a toddler's tricycle track and lighted basketball court.

The community also has several other parks with sports fields, picnic areas and shaded seating areas, all linked together by the linear Arbors Paseo Park. It is also home to the 45,000 square foot Veterans Memorial Leisure Services and Community Center that has a fitness area, full court gym, play room, aerobics area, workspace and classrooms.

If you love to play tennis, you won't find another community in Las Vegas better suited to tennis afficiandos. For listings of the Arbors homes for sale or other Summerlin real estate, call 702-493-8033 or email me at info@lvrealty.net. - cr
