Summerlin will host Light up your Holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 9 and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday Dec. 10 at the master-planned community's Ladera neighborhood in The Mesa Village, located off Town Center Drive just south of Tropicana Avenue and west of Hualapai Way.
Ladera neighborhood builders Engle Homes, KB Home and Richmond American Homes all participate in the community's holiday family festival.
The outside event will feature holiday décor, holiday activities and crafts for children, photos with Santa Claus and a gingerbread house raffle. Proceeds from the sale of photos, activities, craft sales and refreshments will benefit the Henderson Allied Community Advocates (HACA), a local nonprofit organization. Founded in 1991, the organization serves more than 1,800 families annually affected by poverty and homelessness.
According to Bonnie Hernandez, director of marketing for KB Home, it was important the event have a charitable benefactor. "As a valley home builder, we recognize and appreciate the many charitable organizations, such as HACA, that serve Las Vegas and make it a better community in which to live, work and build," she said.
Ladera is the first neighborhood in The Mesa Village. The 600-plus-home neighborhood offers 17 different floor plans ranging from 1,642 to 2,804 square feet. Prices start in the low $300,000s.
To date, more than 150 homes have sold in the neighborhood, according to Julie Cleaver, director of planning and design for The Howard Hughes Corp., developer of Summerlin.
"The location, home diversity, architectural style and surrounding amenities make Ladera a popular choice for new home buyers," she said.
The Mesa Village is a nearly 500-acre residential property and features a desert contemporary architectural style. Village and neighborhood entry monuments are accented with stonework and back-lit metal signs.
Streets are lined with desert-appropriate trees and flowering bushes to emphasize shade and color in a setting designed to accentuate the natural landscape of the surrounding desert area of the neighboring Spring Mountains.
