We were thrilled to see the excitement from all the Realtors touring our new models. The feedback from the Realtors was great. We received numerous comments in regards to the gourmet kitchens with center islands and huge pantries, spacious secondary bedrooms, luxurious master suites with enormous closets, and the large casual and formal living areas. Realtors were also thrilled to see that we kept with the standard that is offered at all our American West communities and that is pool-sized backyards.

“Home shoppers have a chance to see the spacious designs, quality construction and beautifully-appointed architectural details that set American West homes apart,” said American West President Larry Canarelli. “We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and custom features.”

Every American West home includes standard features and amenities that other home builders consider upgrades.

“The new homes at Reserve have granite counter tops, gourmet kitchens with large dining islands, spacious master bedrooms with enormous closets and large secondary bedrooms. All our homes also are built to Energy Star® and Energy Plus standards. That means they are more energy efficient than homes with just the well-known Energy Star® rating,” said Canarelli.

All home sites at Reserve at Coronado Ranch are pool-size. Homebuyers have the option of plotting their home on the site they choose with the color scheme, exterior design and landscaping that they want. “We allow our homeowners to customize their home the way they want it,” said Canarelli. “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.”

Coronado Ranch is one of Las Vegas’s fastest-growing, most popular communities. It offers incredible convenience located just near the 215 Beltway; minutes from recreational activities such as golf, hiking and cycling; and seconds from enviable shopping and dining.

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.

“There are a number of exciting options in this home. Homebuyers can opt for a guest suite that essentially gives the homeowner a second master bedroom with an attached bathroom. They also can choose an additional bedroom in lieu of the upstairs game room. It’s a very flexible floor plan that allows our homebuyers to customize the bedrooms and accommodate families of all sizes and needs,” said Jacobs.

“All three homes offer incredible storage. The pantries are enormous and the master bedroom and secondary bedrooms have closets to die for,” said Jacobs. “You will find that the areas of the home you use most have more than enough room to allow your family to grow.”

“As we enter 2010, home shoppers are continuing to discover that they can get more for their money when buying a brand-new home from American West,” Canarelli said. “American West offers more included features than other builders for some of the best prices per square foot in Las Vegas. We anticipate 2010 to be a great year as more and more homebuyers discover that their dream of owning an American West home can come true.”

The difference in an American West neighborhood is unmistakable. The pride of ownership in the homes is overwhelming. “I have been dreaming of owning an American West home since 2002”, said Andrea Jordan, American West homebuyer. “For seven years I have wanted to be the owner of an American West home and now my dream is coming true. This is huge for my family, it will be the home we grow old in. This is the best Christmas ever for my family.”

“We’ve listened to our buyers and met their demands for the newest and best amenities offered in new homes,” Canarelli said.  “Incorporating our buyers’ needs and dreams into all of our homes… That’s the key to American West’s unprecedented success. We build to meet the needs of Las Vegas families.  We combine unmatched value, outstanding locations, our trademark huge homes, and the newest amenities to create an unparalleled new home package.”

American West is currently selling at 9 communities located throughout the Las Vegas valley. Home designs range from 1,216 to 4,770 square feet with prices starting as low as $188,500. The builder’s 2010 collection of homes will continue the tradition of architectural excellence, quality construction, innovative floorplans, pool sized backyards and superior customer service. 

“Each American West community is a little different and appeals to different types of buyers. First-time home buyers, growing families, empty nesters and those seeking luxury residences are all discovering homes that meet their personal needs at American West neighborhoods,” Canarelli said.

“Today’s home buyers are seeking homes constructed by quality builders with established track records, who stand behind their homes. We are a privately owned business that has been building in the Las Vegas Valley for over 25 years with thousands of happy homeowners. American West Homes is the only builder in the nation who has won the ACE Award for construction excellence twice. We look forward to continue providing quality homes and to exceed the expectations of our buyers in 2010,” he said.

“We’re offering amenities that no other builder in our price range can offer,” said Canarelli.  “For example, our included elevators take our split-level homes to a whole new dimension. Because of their cost, they are usually limited to very expensive custom homes but we include them in the base price of our homes.”  Included elevators can be found in homes offered at Kensington, Silverado Springs, Windsor and Woodbridge.

The homes built by American West are certified as not only Energy Star® but also Energy Plus. American West was the first builder in Las Vegas to receive both these certifications. With the Energy Plus certification, American West homes are twice as energy efficient as a home that only qualifies as Energy Star®.

All of American West’s energy-efficient features are included in their homes. These features include: Carrier® 14-SEER natural gas heat and electric central air-conditioning with Puron®, the environmentally sound refrigerant; R13 insulation in exterior walls and R30 in ceilings;  energy-efficient radiant-heat barrier roof sheathing; PROInstaller E2S Complete Weatherproofing System; fully-insulated, fiberglass, front-entry door; vinyl-framed, dual-paned, Low-E windows and sliding glass doors; 50-gallon, quick-recovery, natural-gas water heater; and water-conserving Moen faucets and showerheads.

“It’s an impressive list of energy-conserving products. These products are in addition to the building practices and products we already utilize to meet Energy Star standards and they come at no extra cost to the homebuyer,” said Canarelli.

As a home builder for over 25 years, Canarelli cited buyers’ appreciation of their homes as a great source of satisfaction.

 “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,” Canarelli said. “My dream has always been to provide beautiful, affordable homes that all families could live in. That dream turned into a reality and can be seen throughout the 70 neighborhorhoods that American West has built throughout the Las Vegas valley.”

Creating attractive communities and sound investments for homeowners is no new venture for American West. “By using foresight, we only build in the best areas,” said Canarelli.  “For example, we’re adjacent to the master-planned areas yet we’re able to give the buyer much more house for the money.  Factoring in all the new schools, parks, shopping and dining, buyers get every bit the livability of master-planned communities without the high monthly fees,” he said.

Canarelli refers to L.I.D. fees.  “We think it’s proper for a developer to pay the infrastructure fees up front, rather than passing them onto the homeowner through expensive monthly L.I.D. fees.”

 The company is in the process of developing a planned community in the southwest, Highlands Ranch.  Upon completion, it will include over 2,000 homes and will be home to three schools and two parks. The builder is currently selling at 5 neighborhoods – Lexington, Fairmont, Kensington, Newcastle and Windsor. These neighborhoods feature two-story and split-level home designs ranging from 1,216 to 4,770 square feet with up to six bedrooms.

Another planned community in the southwest part of the valley is Coronado Ranch, the jewel of the southwest. American West is currently selling at Kingsbridge, Promontory and Woodbridge. The two-story and split-level home designs range from 1,486 to 4,770 square feet with up to six bedrooms. Due to the demand of this area, the builder will be starting a new community, The Reserve, after the first of the year.

The planned community of Silverado Ranch in the south, adjacent to Green Valley was pioneered by the builder and currently features Silverado Springs with two-story and split-level home designs ranging from 2,363 to 3,790 square feet with up to 5 bedrooms.
