Las Vegas 55 Plus Retirement Communities

One day I decided to see what kind of Las Vegas 55 plus retirement communities were available that met my retirement budget for new homes.  I did not want to live close to Las Vegas for obvious reasons, but yet, I still wanted to make a reasonable drive to sample "metropolitan activities".  I chose to head North since I had heard that I could find what I was searching for in active adult retirement communities.

Since I am retired military, I decided to check out Shea Homes at Ardiente because of its close location to Nellis Air Force Base.  There I could take advantage of the on base commissary for groceries and household goods.  Driving into this luxurious Nevada retirement community, I quickly realized that Ardiente is the perfect location - far enough away from The Strip, yet close enough to get to when needed.  This master-planned retirement community is immaculate and offers all the amenities you would expect from master home builder Shea Homes.

I headed straight for the model homes to take the tour.  I was greeted with a very friendly salesperson who was very astute as to my concerns and what Ardiente could offer in new home buying.  These homes are simply spectacular for 55 plus retirement communities.  They range in size from 1200 to 2400 square feet and start in the low 100K range.  I was impressed that all the homes are "Shea Green Certified", meaning that they are super enviromentally friendly.  Also, as you tour these homes, you are impressed with how they are built - only brand name fixtures are installed and the floor plans come in all sizes and shapes.

Shea Homes at Ardiente is truly impressive; and if you like being close to Las Vegas and avail yourself of gorgeous desert-mountain landscapes, then drive to Ardiente and tour the model homes.
