The Latitude community in Summerlin, Nevada is a finalist in the Best 55+ For-Sale Community On the Boards category. The Vertical Duplex Homes in the Latitude community is a finalist in the Best 55+ Attached Home On the Boards category.  This contemporary styled-urban village targets adults 55+ that want to capitalize on Summerlin masterplan’s active lifestyle and proximity to outstanding entertainment, dining, shopping and employment.

Homes offer spectacular views of the Vegas strip and mountains. The home styles include vertical duplex homes, stacked four-plex homes, and motorcourt duplex homes. The stacking of units in a duplex building is a new concept to this market and was developed to appeal to move-down buyers. Each unit lives like a single-family home since there are no shared or common walls but at townhome densities. The homes have private elevators, expansive decks for indoor/outdoor living and two-car garages. Some units feature a golf cart garage space. Lower units have a ground-level bonus space that can be a guest suite, home office or hobby space.
