The American West Difference
American West is quite proud of the fact that we are a local, family owned builder who has been building homes in the Las Vegas valley for 25 years and who plan to continue making the dream of a new home come true for our homeowners for many, many more years to come. Our homeowners insist that there is an “American West difference” that contributes to the enjoyment of their new home and neighborhood. It is unmistakable and definitely sets us apart.
We have learned a lot about our homebuyers and our communities over the years and implement that knowledge into all of our neighborhoods. Like our homebuyers, we care about investment value and want our neighborhoods to mature beautifully.
The American West difference starts with Larry Canarelli, president of American West. He is a builder who cares about Las Vegas and is deeply involved with every step of the building process. As Larry states, “I put my name on every home American West builds. I’m proud of that. Knowing from our homeowners that they’re pleased with their home brings the greatest delight to me as a home builder.”
We combine unmatched value, the best locations, well-planned communities and the newest amenities to create the American West difference. These factors all support why we have won so many awards and why 43% of our homebuyers are repeat customers and referrals. We also include a lot of features in our homes that are considered upgrades elsewhere. We continually study custom homes and include these specific features in our homes. American West is the only homebuilder in Las Vegas that offers a 3-story home with an included elevator.
The American West difference is further enhanced by buyer involvement with their homes. Buyers are given the luxury to plot their home, select their homesite, choose their home’s color scheme, pick their exterior design and choose their front yard landscaping. Our homebuyers are fully involved in the customization process inside and outside their homes because it creates great pride in the community.
From innovative design and superior construction, to homeowner satisfaction, our homes offer exceptional quality and the best value per square foot of any home builder in Southern Nevada. We realize your new 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.
