Ryland To Host Grand Opening Today

Posted: Apr. 28, 2012 | 2:05 a.m.

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, Ryland Homes plans to celebrate the grand opening of its new Maravilla Courtyards in Mountain's Edge, a master-planned community in the southwest.

The new-home community features two-story homes with rooftop decks.

"This is a completely unique concept and one we know new-home shoppers will like," said Mara Glaser, sales agent at Maravilla Courtyards. "Each of the three floor plans offered include an option for a rooftop deck. They are incredibly flexible, giving homeowners the option to use them for cooking, entertaining, sunbathing and peaceful relaxation."

During today's event, home shoppers are invited to stop by for a free lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and tours of the model homes. There also will be special activities, including a children's planting station with Star Nursery and entertainment. Event sponsors include Star Nursery, Xyience, Furniture Market, Pizza Hut, Evergreen Recycling and Sweet Glory Cupcakes. Prize drawings will be held for items including a flat-screen television.

Maravilla Courtyards offers three floor plans ranging from 1,852 to 2,157 square feet with prices starting at $154,990. The floor plans include such appointments as rooftop decks, two master suites and three-car parking.

Among the highlights of Maravilla Courtyards' location is its proximity to the newest park opened at Mountain's Edge. The 20-acre Nathaniel Jones Park includes a lighted basketball court, tot lot with shade structure, children's water play area with splash pad, turf areas, walking trails and shade structures. The park incorporates the natural terrain to complement design and to conserve water.

"This beautiful park is so close to Maravilla that some of our guests think the neighborhood has its own 20-acre park." Glaser said. "It is certainly lovely to see from the rooftop decks at our model homes and all of the neighborhoods' rooftop decks will look over either the parks, lights of the city or other natural areas surrounding Mountain's Edge."

Maravilla Courtyards showcases two of its three floor plans as model homes. Plan 2144 includes three bedrooms, 2 baths and a two-car garage with 2,144 square feet of living space.

"This home is extremely flexible," Glaser said. "It can be built with up to five bedrooms or with a dual master bedroom option. The front door also opens midway between the first and second floors, with the great room, dining room and kitchen all located on the second floor."
