Rancho Park consists of 45 homes with ranch-style architecture. The ranch-style home is noted for its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and minimal use of exterior and interior decoration. Ranch style homes are attractive because of the lifestyle they promote — the open layouts are ideal for entertaining and relaxed family gatherings. The abundant use of windows and walls of glass bring in light and blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor space.
Ranch-style homes really took off with the post-World War II middle class. By 1950, nine out of 10 new houses were ranch-style homes. However, in comparison to the Las Vegas modern tract home, there are not many ranch-style homes in Las Vegas. The style is not as common as it was manydecades ago, when land was much cheaper and urban sprawl was not as much an issue.
Rancho Park is located off the corner of Alta Drive and Rancho Drive. The small community can only be entered and exited through one street, off Rancho Drive and Rancho Circle. There are only four roads in the neighborhood that create an oblong shape: Parkway Drive, Parkway West, Parkway East, and Parkway North. There are limited custom homes in this community, all on an average of one-third acre lots.
The median sales price in the past six months is $350,000 with an average price per sqft of $128. Unfortunately, at this time, there are no houses in theneighborhood currently on the market. There is, however, one home with a pending offer. Sized at 3,321 square feet and priced $399,900. The home features 6 bedrooms a 5 baths with a lot size of 1/3 acre. But with so few homes in this small sub-division available, make note: If you see something you like, it's best to move fast!
