Exciting Development on the Horizon for North Las Vegas!
North Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement as Richmond American Homes has just made a significant investment in the area! Late last month, the company acquired a 7.7-acre plot of land for an impressive $5.4 million. This prime location, sitting pretty along Ann Road just east of Decatur Boulevard, is perfectly positioned near a bustling retail plaza, which includes the ever-popular Smith’s grocery store. Talk about convenient living!
What’s in Store?
So, what’s the plan for this newly acquired land? Richmond American Homes has set their sights on developing a fantastic 84-unit duplex project. While the Las Vegas housing market has been primarily focused on freestanding single-family homes, there’s a growing appetite for attached units like duplexes. Why? They typically come with lower costs, which makes them more attractive to buyers looking to settle down without breaking the bank.
The Current Housing Market
In Southern Nevada, there’s been a flurry of activity in the housing market. Last month saw around 2,140 previously owned single-family homes changing hands with a median price of $485,000. Meanwhile, 570 condos and townhomes sold for a median of $306,500. It’s evident that buyers are eager to find a place to call home!
Looking back at February, the numbers were equally impressive, with 633 single-family homes sold at a median of $560,000, along with 244 attached units averaging around $385,000. As you can see, there is quite the dynamic shift toward attached living options as more and more people recognize the value they offer.
New Projects Are on the Way
The duplex development is part of a larger trend, as this is one of six new projects recently given the green light by the Las Vegas Planning Commission. The new homes will be nestled within the Villages at Tule Springs, a planned community that can support up to 2,909 residential units on land that was once simply desert. The transformation of this area is sure to make waves in the local real estate scene!
