American West Lexington 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.

“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.”

Lexington features four floor plans ranging from 1,216 to 2,188 square feet with up to four bedrooms. Prices start at $178.500.

The homes at Lexington are designed with desert living and energy efficiency in mind.

“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®.”

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.

“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.”

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.

Highlands Ranch 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.

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.

Great News! Home sales are up and more and more people are discovering the advantages of owning a new American West home. “Our home sales are five times what they were this same time last year and we’ve seen an increase in the number of prospective buyers visiting our communities,” said American West President Larry Canarelli. Larry attributes the increases to the economy, first-time homebuyer incentives and the quality of homes and customer service offered by American West. 

“It’s a great time for homebuyers especially first-time buyers who want the stability and guarantees of new construction,” said Canarelli. “While buying a foreclosure home may have initially seemed like a great deal, many homebuyers realize that even if they’re able to work with a bank, which can be very hard to do, they’re taking a risk. Foreclosed homes have no guarantees, no warranties and may have hidden problems or defects. With a new American West home, buyers get our first-class customer service, warranties and a home customized to their tastes and lifestyle.” 

To help homebuyers get into a new American West home, we are offering a “Stimulus Package” incentive for a limited time to help pay homebuyers’ mortgages. A portion of the monthly mortgage payment will be paid for up to two years for qualified homebuyers. 

At Lexington, our community located in Highlands Ranch, monthly payments start at $767 due to the “Stimulus Package”. Homebuyers are taking advantage of these low monthly payments. Lexington currently has over 40 homes under construction. 

“Our homebuyers are amazed by the price per square foot and quality we offer in one of the most popular areas of southern Nevada,” said Kevin Amico, American West sales consultant. “Lexington is currently located in the heart of the southwest, adjacent to Southern Highlands. It offers easy access to the 215 Beltway, the Blue Diamond corridor, restaurants, shopping and recreational opportunities including golf and biking.” 

Lexington features four new home designs ranging from 1,216 to 2,188 square feet with up to four bedrooms. Prices start at $188,500.

 American West is currently selling at 9 communities located throughout the Las Vegas valley. The new home designs range from 1,216 to 4,770 square feet. 

“Our buyers have the opportunity to pick their home site, the color of their home, the landscaping, how the home is actually plotted on the site and what custom features they want to include. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to get exactly what you want,” said Amico.
