Welcome Home To SW Las Vegas Communities: Maravilla at Mountain's Edge

Hmmm sounds good to me desert landscaping and no grass.... The sound of desert when winter is on the way sounds great to me!

Renee, this style home is called 'neo traditional' and in Florida, the homes are mostly low country style with porches across the front and built with Hardy board to look like wood siding. The design was started in Seaside, a town in the Panhandle, designed by an architect from Miami and spread to Celebration, Disney's town in Kissimmee near Disney World. Baldwin Park in Orlando copycatted Celebration. We have a little bit of neo traditional here in Jacksonville, but not an entire town concept like Celebration or Baldwin Park where there are downtown streets, shops, etc. The lots are small and there are parks and green areas in front of the homes. They are beautiful and look like the old fashioned home towns of our dreams and yesteryear. The architecture is pre-WWII. Yours is probably Mediterranean architecture? But it's very refreshing not to see a garage on a narrow house/lot. Also, the garages often have garage apartments and in Celebration and Baldwin Park they can be rented out - they have a separate address.

Renee, The community sounds really nice.  There a couple little pockets here that have that alley way parking.  It is an older style of years gone by from back east. desert scape sounds good!   Good luck with that and thanks for joining my group, it will be interesting to see it grow.  I hope you have a nice evening!

Hi Renee!  You never cease to amaze me!  Your presentations are so thorough and eye-appealing.  What a great community--like others, the desert landscape is very appealing--especially when you're used to 'micro-managing' a lawn to keep it green and tidy! :-)

Maravilla sounds like one more place that Tom and Lars could get out of the cold from; you have lots of charming areas.

Renee, I like not having to look at the garage from the front of the home. These homes in Maravilla are very appealing to the eye. Thanks for sharing!
