Pardee Homes keeps family in neighborhood

SPECIAL TO REAL ESTATE

For Kerry and Alison Christoffersen, the Sunrise Mountain area has been home for more than two decades. And when the couple and their four children began looking for a new home, they found exactly what they wanted at Pardee Homes' Crestline at Sunrise Highlands.

"Our previous house had been our home for more than 20 years and was where we welcomed each of our four children," Alison Christoffersen said. "But it was time for something new and more in line with our current needs."

    • They found just what they were looking for at the Residence Four at Crestline.

    "We really liked the layout of the home and the fact that it has five bedrooms -- one for each child," Kerry Christoffersen said. "But what has made us happiest is our experience with Pardee -- from our sales agent to the customer service representatives. This home-buying experience has been very positive for us, and in sharp contrast to what we experienced with our previous home."

    The Christoffersens' four children include daughters Kayla, 17, and Keaton, 14, both students at nearby Las Vegas High School, son Kaden, 9 and daughter Kennedy, 7, both students at nearby Iverson Elementary School.

    "This has been a great move for all of us with new schools, a beautiful new community and yet our familiar Sunrise Mountain home," Alison said.

    Prices start from the low $300,000s at Crestline, which features four floor plans that range from 1,979 square feet to 3,369 square feet with up to seven bedrooms and six baths.

    Crestline Plan Four, selected by the Christoffersens, measures 3,084 square feet with a three-car garage, living and dining rooms, bonus room or optional fifth bedroom, upstairs laundry room and optional game room or optional sixth bedroom and fourth bath. The Plan FourXC provides the flexibility of up to seven bedrooms.

    Another floor plan at Crestline is the two-story Plan Three, which measures 2,631 square feet with a bedroom and full bath on the first floor, upstairs laundry room, bonus room or optional bedroom five with fourth bath or optional super bonus room. The home can also be built with an optional sixth bedroom or optional room and balcony off of the master bedroom suite.

    Also offered at Crestline is the single-story Plan Two, which measures 1,979 square feet with three bedrooms and dining room that can be built as an optional den or optional fourth bedroom, breakfast nook, large great room and master bedroom suite.

    To reach Crestline at Sunrise Highlands from U.S. Highway 95, exit at Charleston Boulevard and head east to Hollywood Boulevard. Turn right on Hollywood and then left on Sahara Avenue to the models. The sales center and model homes are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday.

    Whistle-blower wrote on October 25, 2008 04:16 AM: I forgot one thing. The property that Pardee built this beautiful community on use to be an illegal dump site. When they closed the Landfill, trucks full of PCE and other carcinogens, dumped their dry cleaning chemicals into lagoons on that site. Look it up. Review Journal. Keith Rogers. 1998. The article is called "Lagoons presence still a mystery". Ask Pardee why they didn't mention that before you spent your life savings to become a "Human Guinea Pig." URS, the Engineering company that signed off on the soil that your house is built on, came from Washington State. They couldn't get anyone local to pass the soil. Methane Vents were buried. They are under those houses. Do some research. Ask me for more East Side Votech had the same issues. They remediated them. Sunrise Highlands is littered with them. They buried them and built anyway. Engineer from URS told me so.

    It's alot easier if you head East on Sahara or Vegas Valley. Charleston is a lot further to the North. The reason that they want you to take Charleston, is to avoid the following Landmarks...
    The Sewer Plant. The Electric Plant. The Recycle Center. The Quarry. These eyesores aren't part of their "sales pitch." Take Vegas Valley for the optimum flavor of this "optimum experience." Follow Vegas Valley until you hit the sign that says "Road Closed." That is the gate that leads to the most Toxic Waste Site in the History of the United States. It's an unlined landfill and it leaks. Every day for the last few decades, Leachate permeates the soil that use to contain this "toxic juice." Then it travels under the Sunrise Highlands until it hits the Las Vegas Wash. Thats that little bridge that you'll cross before you get to the Sewer Treatment Center.
    It'll start stinking right about then.
    The only way that this Toxicity can make it out of your new neighborhood, is by the gusher of Toilet Water that is released by the Treatment Facility. Tht's at Hollywood and Desert Inn. Hang a right. Now it really stinks.

    When you get to that closed gate at the entrance of the Sunrise Landfill, Look to your left. You have arrived.
    Your beautiful neighborhood is being used as an experiment by Clark County Officials. You and your Kiddo's are being exposed to some of the most deadly chemicals and heavy metals this Planet has ever known. WHY?
    Ask Harry Reid. Ask Rory Reid. This Industrial Disaster should have never been approved. The Landfill Leaks. Period. Anyone who lives next to it will be exposed. Look up Fallon. Look how Nevada responded to that disaster.
    Do some research.
