			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.americanwesthomes.com/nhscommunity.asp?CommunityID=30" target="_blank">American West Lexington</a> in Highlands Ranch brings affordable living to a whole new level. Homebuyers immediately sense the dollar-for-dollar, square-foot-for-square- foot value of the trademark home designs. Inside and out, Lexington offers everything families crave—and more.</p>
<p>“American West Lexington at Highlands Ranch is an extension of the quality homes that American West has been building in Southern Nevada for over 25 years,” Larry Canarelli, president of American West, said. “Our homebuyers are amazed by the price per square foot and quality we offer in one of the most popular areas of southern Nevada. Lexington’s home designs appeal to today’s buyers who are seeking spacious and affordable new homes.”</p>
<p>Lexington features four floor plans ranging from 1,216 to 2,188 square feet with up to four bedrooms. Prices start at $178.500.</p>
<p>The homes at Lexington are designed with desert living and energy efficiency in mind.</p>
<p>“Our architects designed Lexington while considering the environment and energy conservation,” Canarelli said. “Each home has received the designation of Energy Plus for meeting and exceeding efficiency requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency by our inclusion of efficient building products. This rating means that each home is at least 30% more energy efficient than current National Home Building Standards and 15% more energy efficient than homes that qualify only as ENERGY STAR®.”</p>
<p>Energy-efficient features include a 14-SEER natural gas heat and electric central air-conditioning with Puron®; radiant heat barrier roof sheathing; programmable setback thermostat; R-13 insulation in exterior walls and R-30 insulation in ceilings; Prime Wrap® house wrap; fiberglass front-entry door; vinyl-framed, dual-pane low-e windows and sliding glass door; 50-gallon quick-recovery natural gas water heater; and Super-Flow water management system.</p>
<p>“In addition to including these energy-efficient features in each home, home buyers will discover that many highly desired design features are included in each Lexington home that other builders may consider as ‘upgrades,’” Canarelli said. “We are conscious to provide what today’s buyers really want in their homes. They definitely get more with their money with the purchase of an American West home.”</p>
<p>Each home includes ceramic-tile entries; granite-tile kitchen counter tops; decorative pendant lighting over kitchen islands; Whirlpool dishwasher and self-cleaning oven custom cabinetry with satin chrome drawer knobs and door handles; cultured-marble vanity tops; luxurious deluxe spa shower in master bath; raised-panel interior doors; and a 10-year structural assurance plan.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.americanwesthomes.com/highlands.html" target="_blank">Highlands Ranch</a> residents enjoy the convenient access to new parks, schools, retail developments and shopping in the burgeoning southwestern valley. “As a builder, we believe in giving our homebuyers all the benefits of master-plan living with out any additional fees such as a SID or LID.” Canarelli said.</p>
<p>To visit Lexington, take Interstate 15 to Blue Diamond Road exit and head west. Turn south on Jones. Turn east on Richmar. Lexington is located on corner of Jones and Richmar. The sales office is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Due to the overwhelming demand we have received regarding our new homes at American West Reserve in Coronado Ranch, we are thrilled to announce that we will be doing a Sneak Peek. The sales office will be open starting Saturday, April 17<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>The masterful collection of new homes showcases the best of what American West has to offer new homebuyers. We have drawn upon two plus decades of construction excellence and signature features to create the ultimate American West community. </p>
<p>The three brand new American West home designs offer something for everyone. With innovative home designs, attractive amenities and supreme value, it’s easy to see why buyers are excited to make American West Reserve their new home. Prices for the homes start in the $200’s. </p>
<p>“American West is excited to offer this sneak peek of our newest neighborhood, Reserve at Coronado Ranch. This neighborhood is just an extension of the quality homes that we have been building in Southern Nevada for over 25 years,” Larry Canarelli, president of American West, said. “Reserve’s two-story designs will appeal to today’s buyers who are seeking spacious and affordable new homes.” </p>
<p>Plan 2492 features four bedrooms, 2 ½ baths and a study with 2,492 square feet. The first floor is home to a spacious great room, dining area and gourmet kitchen. </p>
<p>“You will never be at a loss for space when it comes to entertaining in this home,” said Kate Jacobs, American West Internet Sales Manager. “The study in this home is an optional fifth bedroom, giving families plenty of room to grow.” </p>
<p>Plan 2769 features four bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, formal dining and living rooms, a family room, dining and upstairs game room. The home measures 2,769 square feet. This home also features the option for a study and an additional bath. </p>
<p>At 3,019 square feet, Plan 3019 is the largest home available at American West Reserve. The two-story home includes four bedrooms, 2 ½ bathrooms, formal dining and living rooms, a family room and a large upstairs game room. </p>
<p>There are a number of options in this home that allows families to customize it to their wants and needs. Homebuyers can opt for a guest suite that essentially gives the homeowner a second master bedroom. They can also choose an additional bedroom in lieu of the upstairs game room. </p>
<p>“The storage in all three of these homes is incredible. The pantries in the gourmet kitchens are enormous and the master bedroom and secondary bedrooms have closets to die for,” said Jacobs. </p>
<p>All homes at American West Reserve are not only ENERGY STAR® certified but also Energy Plus certified. These certifications mean that your new home is 15% more energy efficient than homes that only qualify as ENERGY STAR® and 30% more energy efficient that current National Home Building Standards.   </p>
<p>“Our architects designed Reserve while considering the environment and energy conservation,” Canarelli said. “In addition to including all the energy-efficient features in each home that allow us to achieve both these certifications, home buyers will discover that many highly desired design features are included in each Reserve home that other builders may consider as ‘upgrades.’” We are conscious to provide what today’s buyers really want in their homes. They definitely get more with their money with the purchase of an American West home.” </p>
<p align="left">The exceptional value at American West Reserve stretches far beyond the homes, tree-lined streets and magnificent entries. Services and amenities abound in thriving Coronado Ranch. Area schools are the community’s pride and joy. New facilities provide state-of-the-art resources and a full slate of social and athletic activities. Life at American West Reserve is made even easier thanks to a plethora of handy shopping, dining, recreation and easy 215 Beltway freeway access. </p>
<p>As one of the nation’s most successful privately owned homebuilders, American West has been providing homes for the families of Southern Nevada since 1984. From innovative design and superior construction, to homeowner satisfaction, American West’s homes offer exceptional quality and the best value per square foot of any home builder in Southern Nevada. </p>
<p>To visit American West Reserve, take the 215-Beltway to Rainbow. Exit south on Rainbow. Turn east (left) on Wigwam. Entrance to community is on the right side of the street. Sales office is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all make choices every day about the way we work, live and play, as well as the impact we have on the planet. At American West, every day we choose to build the kind of energy efficient, elegantly designed homes that are the right choice for you and your family.</p>
<p>Your home is the epicenter for your life. American West is committed to making it healthy, energy efficient and comfortable and here is how:</p>
<p><strong>ENERGY CONSERVATION</strong></p>
<p>Your new American West home will be both Energy Star® and <a href="http://www.nvenergy.com/saveenergy/home/rebates/energyplus.cfm" target="_blank">Energy Plus</a> Certified. These certifications mean that your new home is twice as energy efficient than homes that only qualify as Energy Star®. Your new home is built better and uses less energy which results in reduced energy costs.</p>
<p><em>Low-E Windows &amp; Sliding Glass Doors</em><br />
The windows and sliding glass doors in your new home are built with vinyl frame materials and low e-glass coatings that significantly reduce heat transfer. The design and placement of the windows and doors also allow for the utilization of natural light to illuminate your home reducing the need for artificial light.</p>
<p><em>Exterior/Interior Doors</em><br />
The material in your fully insulated fiberglass front entry door helps limit heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.</p>
<p><strong>WATER CONSERVATION</strong></p>
<p><em>Plumbing Fixtures</em><br />
The faucets in your new home help to conserve resources. These faucets employ water-saving 2.2 gallon per minute aerators to help eliminate wasteful excess water flow. Also included in your home are super-efficient water closets which are designed to perform with 1.5 gallons of water per flush. The plumbing fixtures not only help reduce your monthly utility bills, they also help you conserve our precious water for future generations.</p>
<p><em>Quick Recovery H20</em><br />
The high efficiency water heater included in your home was designed to provide more hot water at a lower operating cost than other models.</p>
<p><em>Landscaping</em><br />
You can select from many attractive Water Saving professional landscape designs. The natural materials and efficient designs provide beautiful yards, while reducing wasteful watering and promoting a healthier planet.</p>
<p><strong>EFFICIENT AND HEALTHLY</strong></p>
<p><em>14 S.E.E.R. HVAC</em><br />
Your comfort is assured in your new home with a certified, engineered, climate control system. Your 14 S.E.E.R. HVAC exceeds the National Standard for energy efficiency. This advance system also utilizes ozone layer-friendly, environmentally sound Puron® refrigerant, which helps protect the air you breathe.</p>
<p><em>Thermo-Guard</em><br />
The roof of your new home utilizes a heat transfer inhibitor known as Radiant Barrier Roof Sheathing. The advanced energy saving material minimizes the heat gain in your home in the summer by reflecting heat away from the attic. In the winter, the reflective coating reduces energy usage by redirecting the heat back into the attic.</p>
<p><em>Mold Blocker</em><br />
Your new home is sealed with Pro-Installer® MOLDBlocker™ House wrap. This super-tough, recyclable, woven High Density Polyethylene fabric has micro perforations to allow the walls of your home to exchange air, which helps prevent moisture vapor from being trapped inside.</p>
<p>As a builder, we realize that your home will be a reflection of your family’s personality and values, so it’s with a sense of commitment, honor and pride that we build every American West home. When you buy a home built by American West Development, you can take comfort in knowing you’ve bought the best quality, choice and value in town.</p>
<p>For more information on our homes, visit our website at <a href="http://www.AmericanWestHomes.com">www.AmericanWestHomes.com</a> or call (702) 308-1111.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is LIVESTRONG Day across the nation. The <a href="http://www.livestrong.org/site/c.khLXK1PxHmF/b.2660611/k.BCED/Home.htm" target="_blank">Lance Armstrong Foundation</a> established LIVESTRONG Day as a global day of action to raise awareness about the fight against cancer.  This year alone, nearly 8 million people will die of cancer worldwide. Sixty percent of all cancer is preventable. One-third can be cured if detected early and treated adequately. </p>
<p>The Lance Armstrong Foundation is doing some amazing things and deserves a lot of credit for their efforts and actions. The credo of the Lance Armstrong Foundation is a powerful one and one that we all can take to heart:</p>
<p> We believe in life. Your life.</p>
<p>We believe in living every minute of it with every ounce of your being.</p>
<p>And that you must not let cancer take control of it.</p>
<p>We believe in energy, channeled and fierce.</p>
<p>We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong.</p>
<p>Unity is strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything.</p>
<p> Lance Armstrong has been quoted as saying, “I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days.” A great reminder for all of us. Here’s hoping that your day is a great one!</p>
