Las Vegas Home Buyers Looking for Outdoor Living Elegance
In Las Vegas, outdoor living is an important part of home life. Luxury homeowners don’t just want a pool with a diving board, however. They are looking for the latest in landscape and pool design that helps to give their outdoor area a sleek look that makes it an outdoor room and important part of the whole home’s décor. Such details at water slides and infinity edges are becoming more and more popular in new landscape and pool design.
Outdoor spaces are becoming even more important to prospective home buyers. From pool features to landscaping to outdoor kitchens, they want it all.
Vegas Home Buyers Looking for Something Different
Not only do they want something different in their pool design, but they want all of the amenities that go with an outdoor room, such as outdoor kitchens. They want the home to open up to the landscaped room to make it an important part of the whole home’s design. Glass panel walls, fire pits, putting greens, covered dining areas, and more all come together to give these outdoor areas that special touch that sets them apart for buyers.
They not only want a simple outdoor kitchen, they want pizza ovens, outdoor bars, and other details that often make the outdoor kitchens better than the ones indoors.
Robyn Yates of Windermere Real Estate says, “It’s really not just about the backyard, but creating that indoor-outdoor feel in all areas of the house. The look is very youthful and sexy. Everyone wants this lifestyle — young buyers, retired people.”
Pools That Make a Statement
Water features are being added to pool areas, as pools are not just for swimming anymore. Homeowners want them to make a statement. From waterfalls to lazy rivers to water slides to solar heating to diode lights to salt water, these pools are created to be an extension of the home and to create not only an entertainment space, but a destination right in their own home.
Travertine tiles and porcelain tiles are the most common choices these days, especially large 12×18 tiles. These materials make the transition from indoors to outdoors much smoother.
Change in Backyard Space
Grass is not a necessity to have a nice backyard, especially in Las Vegas. Due to our weather, many people are choosing a more desert landscaping look to ensure that they are more environmentally friendly and that it is easier to care for. From cactus to other desert plants, adding green may not be in the normal way, but it is in a way that makes the most of our natural landscape and temperatures.
Why the lush detailing? Las Vegas is known for being stylish and elegant and homeowners now want it in their homes, too. They want an indoor-outdoor home that will allow them to take advantage of the wonderful weather that is offered year around.
