Sunrise Villas 1 thru 9


Some of my favorite townhomes in Vintage Vegas are actually within the geographic boundaries of Las Vegas in 1970, but were all built between 1970 and 1979. There are 9 total communities, which all pretty much look the same, have the same basic floorplans, same lush landscape, and the same community designs.


All of them are along the Eastern Avenue corridor between Desert Inn and Flamingo, with only Sunrise 9 south of Flamingo. Most of the 9 communities are gated, and all have similar pools, spas, tennis court, and lush landscape.
There were 6 basic floor plans. Since they're 4 units to a building, the inner units have front courtyard entries, and tend to be the most popular. All of the units have large patios overlooking the green belts. Sizes range from 2 bedroom, 2 bath, at just under 1300 sf to the largest "la paz" model at 2118 sf. All the floorplans include an iterior "atrium" which lets the sunlight in, and allows for a small garden setting inside the home.

Recent sales range from a low of 225,000 to a high of 315,000. There are currently 22 units for sale in all 9 sunrise villas between 220 and 299k.
They were designed for "active adult living" with only 1 story units, patios instead of backyards and there aren't any playgrounds for children. They're not age restricted, but don't tend to attract families with children. Most of the owners are retired or working middle age. It's a great way to live without having to maintain yards, or exterior paint.
