Melani is one of Tuscany's larger collections, with homes from 3,758 to 4,876 square feet. Among its few homes that are completed and ready for move-in is a 4,876 square foot home priced at $489,990.

"This home, which is our Residence 4876, was recently reduced from $631,775 and is among the best values in Southern Nevada for a home this size," Soucie said. "It is on an oversized golf course lot and includes about $25,000 in upgrades like cabinetry, counter tops and the stair railings."

In addition to Melani's homes available are sites both on and off the Tuscany golf course with views of the fairways, water features and Las Vegas Strip.

Most of the neighborhood's oversized home sites measure 6,000 square feet or larger.

Three floor plans available at Melani include three to five bedrooms, three-car garages and options for covered patios.

Residence 3758, named for its size, is a three-bedroom home with three baths, family room, den or optional fourth bedroom and a bonus room or optional fifth bedroom.

Residence 4730 includes five bedrooms, 31/2 baths, great room, loft, or optional sixth bedroom and library.

Residence 4876 includes four bedrooms, four baths, game room, den, or optional fifth bedroom and retreat in the master bedroom.

"The kitchens are especially spacious and are all open to a living room or great room," Soucie said. "They all have large gourmet islands and Residence 4730 has dual islands, which is perfect for those who enjoy entertaining."

Residents receive access to Tuscany's recreation center, playgrounds, walking paths and common areas in addition to receiving 50 channels of cable television. Prices start in the mid-$300,000s.
