Couple purchase second Toll Brothers home
The Rodrigues family made a thoughtful decision to move to Summerlin. Chad and Mari, along with children, Kaia, 7, and Finn, 3, had lived in one of the city’s historic neighborhoods closer to the center of town and loved their large ranchstyle home.
Ultimately, Summerlin’s schools and sense of community inspired the family to move to Toll Brothers’ Altura neighborhood in The Paseos village.
“We always knew we wanted to be close to good schools and part of an overall community with a strong sense of belonging, a place populated by other families with children of similar ages and interests,” Chad said. “Summerlin is that place for us.”
Before coming to Las Vegas to open a business eight years ago, the family lived in a Toll Brothers’ home in Denver.
“We had such a good experience with Toll Brothers before, we knew we wanted to find another Toll Brothers home, so that made our search in Summerlin easier,” Chad said. “We chose Altura because of the size of the home and its amazing views..”
