My Snow Thoughts on Bellwood at Sundale at Aries: a flexible single story that works from 2 to 3 bedrooms, with a wider resale market than a 55-and-up community. My one downfall: no half bath. From $494,990.

My Snow Thoughts on Tifton Walk at Sundale at Aries: a great starting price at $503,900, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, 1,920 square feet and excellent backyard coverage. The only thing missing: an office.

I toured Lennar's Next Gen homes at Piazza Paradiso in Lake Las Vegas. Here's every plan, from the Paul to my all-time number one, the Rocco, plus the Vera and the Sage across the street.

The Paul Next Gen at Piazza Paradiso in Lake Las Vegas is your open-floor-plan Next Gen home, with two separate entries and a covered porch area. My Snow Thoughts on Lennar's plan.

The Justin Next Gen at Piazza Paradiso in Lake Las Vegas has everything the Paul has, plus a courtyard space. My Snow Thoughts on Lennar's 4,270-square-foot Next Gen plan.

My all-time number one at Piazza Paradiso in Lake Las Vegas: Lennar's Rocco Next Gen, with a junior suite, a super loft, a bar upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, including the Next Gen suite.

My Snow Thoughts on Lake Las Vegas: a small-town feel inside a major city, and why I believe the next 10 years are when it really comes into its own.

My take on the Stella floor plan at Oasis Canyon in Aries, Henderson: a 2,210 sq. ft. Pulte single-story with Strip or mountain views, from $569,990.

Westlight by Pulte is officially open in Lake Las Vegas. Same townhome plans you've seen across the valley, but with Strip and mountain views, rooftop decks and the Village right there. My full Snow Thoughts.

Snow's favorite of the three at Cactus Bloom: the Rowan by Richmond American, way up at the top of Summerlin, with a luxurious entry, a slider straight to an exceptional backyard and great flow.

Snow's second pick at Cactus Bloom: the Robert by Richmond American, with the bedrooms in one section, a beautiful game room or theater and a great flow from the primary suite to the backyard.

The Rocco by Richmond American at Cactus Bloom, way up at the top of Summerlin: a single-story plan with a courtyard entrance, a private study and a kitchen that backs to the covered patio.
