Lake Las Vegas, a quiet community a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip, has homes at all price points. Recently, we toured Blue Heron, a builder known for contemporary designs that blend indoor and outdoor living.
Blue Heron: Innovators in Design
Blue Heron builds homes that bring the outdoors into daily living. Their signature sliding glass pocket doors open the living areas to the outside. The construction is top notch, with quality materials and finishes. The design also brings in more natural light and ventilation, and the homes are built to last.
A Tour of Lake Las Vegas
In Henderson, Lake Las Vegas feels worlds away from the city's bright lights, despite being only 20-30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and Harry Reid Airport. This community offers a diverse range of housing options, from contemporary luxury homes and Mediterranean estates to more modest starter homes and condos. There's even a 55+ adult community, ensuring there's something for everyone.
The area features a town center with dining and shopping options, the Hilton Hotel, and two golf courses, one public and one private. Residents have tree-lined streets, green space, and the lake itself, which makes Lake Las Vegas a quiet place to live with the excitement of Las Vegas just a short drive away.
The Valaris Community
Our tour focused on Blue Heron's Valaris community and the Trace plan model home. This two-story home, though our clients were interested in a single-story, highlighted Blue Heron's luxurious features that are available in every home. The home has tall ceilings, a private dock, and a primary bedroom with a fireplace, custom closet, and a wet bar. The media room and bar/lounge area were particularly impressive, offering flexible spaces for entertainment and relaxation.
The integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is a hallmark of Blue Heron's design philosophy. The living areas open up to an outdoor entertaining space, so the move between inside and out feels natural.
Picking the Home
During our visit, we explored various lots within the community. The lots on the waterway were particularly desirable for their views and proximity to the lake. Our clients favored the single-story Zenna plan, appreciating its closeness to the water and it checked all the boxes with being a single story. The Zenna plan allowed for modifications such as a multi-generational suite, a bar area, and a media room, which gave them what they needed.
We had the chance to use 3D walkthroughs to visualize the floor plan changes in real-time, which helped them make decisions. Clients can see their home take shape before construction even begins.
Wrapping Up
Lake Las Vegas and Blue Heron homes offer tranquility, luxury, and modern living. The setting, the contemporary design, and the nearby Las Vegas Strip give people plenty of reasons to like it.
