-

A new-home, resort-style planned community is focused on making home ownership possible for firsttime homebuyers. Prices start in the $200,000s.

Independen­ce is developed by locally owned and Las Vegas-based homebuilde­r Touchstone Living. Situated on 130 acres of the former Royal Links Golf Course in east Las Vegas, Independen­ce offers 14 unique floor plans within four town home collection­s. Independen­ce homeowners will have access to large parks, dog parks, multiple swimming pools, playground­s, shaded picnic areas and walking trails within the community.

Touchstone Living is offering special financing for homebuyers through its preferred lenders.

Like all Touchstone Living communitie­s, every home comes with Energy Star-certified Samsung appliances, including a washer, dryer, refrigerat­or, dishwasher, microwave and stove cook top/oven.

Independen­ce will help owners reduce their electricit­y costs and keep more money in their pockets each month because every home includes solar panels. Upgraded countertop­s, window coverings, Ring doorbell and closing costs are included in the price of the home.

“Many people continue to rent even though they can afford the mortgage,” said Tom Mccormick, president of Touchstone Living. “Renters tell us the additional costs — above the mortgage — keep them renting, like closing costs and the significan­t price of purchasing all their own appliances. Independen­ce homes include everything at no extra charge, making that transition from renter to owner possible. With the addition of solar panels to every home, we’re also helping owners reduce their electricit­y costs.”

The four home collection­s at Independen­ce are Achieve, Success, Prosperity and Triumph. Achieve homes have two bedrooms, two baths, approximat­ely 1,134 square feet and a private backyard priced in the $200,000s. Triumph homes are the largest at 1,774 square feet

and offer three or four bedrooms, 2½ baths, a two‑car garage, a private backyard and start in the mid‑ $300,000s.

The Independen­ce resort‑style planned community will be man‑ aged by Touchstone Community Management, a division of Touch‑ stone Living.

The low monthly homeowners associatio­n fee includes Cox Giga‑ blast service providing high‑speed internet and 220 channels including HBO and Showtime. Water, com‑ munity patrols, street maintenanc­e, common areas, solar panels and buildings are included in the month‑ ly HOA fee.

The Independen­ce community is off Vegas Valley Drive, near Hol‑ lywood Boulevard. The Indepen‑ dence sales office is open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To learn more about Independen­ce, go to touchstone­living.com.
