"While other builders are offering hard-to-understand sales and complicated financing packages, the Centex Opportunity Knocks event couldn't be easier. Starting September, buyers can purchase a professionally decorated Centex Home in North Las Vegas with pricing that is just too good to ignore," said Sheri Gunny, sales manager for the Centex Homes Las Vegas Division.

Only 11 model homes are available, so interested buyers are encouraged to act now.

There are four Centex neighborhoods included in this special event.

The Ardiente at Pecos Road and Tropical Parkway is Centex Homes' age-qualifed community for people 55 and older, featuring resort-style living in an intimate, guard-gated community.
