We found Richmond American and started looking at homes in the northern area of Las Vegas. Out of all the builders we sat down with, their representative was really understanding of our fixed income situation since we're retired. We felt like they were really trying to work with us. They also offered the VA loan program, which was a plus. In our search, we found that no one else compared to Richmond American."

After looking at several different communities, the McClains decided that Moreno Valley was a perfect place to call home. "We knew we wanted to live in the north, and we liked the fact that this community is not directly off a busy street," Paul McClain said.

The couple chose the Soledad, a two-story home with three bedrooms, two baths and 1,150 square feet. The home is priced from the $230,000s.

To visit Moreno Valley and tour the model homes, take the Las Vegas Beltway to Durango and go north. Turn right on Deer Springs and follow past Grand Montecito Parkway.
