According to Naef, the development is in its final phase of sales and development with builders offering competitive pricing and financing programs along with a range of incentives.

Sia Howe, vice president of marketing, said there are advantages and conveniences for new homebuyers in Aliante.

"At The Fields at Aliante, we're offering pricing as low as the $330,000s," Howe said, "with VA $1 down financing and zero closing costs for qualified buyers."

Howe said purchasing a new home within the community can be a much more convenient and cost-effective prospect than buying a resale home or even a bank repo.

"It's a very attractive and convenient alternative as our buyers receive a brand new home that is ready for move-in, packed with quality amenities, and covered by a comprehensive 10-year limited warranty."

Homes within The Fields at Aliante measure from 2,228 to 3,374 square feet and include four to five bedrooms, with some ready for immediate move-in. Along with The Fields at Aliante, Astoria Homes is also building Prominence at Aliante, a private, gated neighborhood of two-story homes from 2,830 to 4,449 square feet and priced from the low $400,000s.
