Sun City Mesquite 55 + Communities - Split Rail Subdivision Homes for Sale

Sun City Mesquite Nevada is an active adult community for 55 + residents. Within the Pulte master community are several subdivisions - and each neighborhood has it's own personality, Split Rail is one of the first 2 completed. The amenities included in the low HOA fee of $120 are one of the reasons that so many people are buying a second home or retirement home in Nevada.

Homes for sale in Split Rail began in June 2007 with the grand opening of Sun City Mesquite 55 + Community - with many homes completed by the end of the year. With several of the highest elevation premium lots, and only 114 home sites, this neighborhood sold out quickly. Both Series 2 and Series 3 floorplans in Sun City were offered on these exclusive lots, resulting in a nice mix of several different kinds of homes with attractive elevations, some gated courtyards and some lovely custom swimming pools.

There are now Sun City Mesquite resale MLS Listings for sale in Split Rail.

The location is a plus, too - just south of the Sun City Pioneer Recreation Center, an easy walk - an easier ride in your golf cart!

Views from these premium lots overlooking Sun City Mesquite and the mountains are some of the best in town - this picture was taken at a Sun City Mesquite Split Rail home for sale at 1160 Clouds Rest Point - right after the sun set from the raised deck by the private custom swimming pool.

Ocotillo Blooms in Sun City Mesquite NV - or are they really alien spiders?

Ocotillo plants are blooming all over Nevada - these two are in Sun City Mesquite and seem to be hiding among the thicker trees and bushes. Pretending to be a cactus. Fooled me - I thought they were cactus, or cacti - until I looked them up on Wikipedia and found out that they are Fouquieria splendens Engelm, which is a plant. Just another plant.

Without the flowers blooming, they look like very large spiders standing on their heads - hence, the rumor that these plants were left here centuries ago by aliens. Why they were left here .... who knows? I am sure that the aliens have a very good reason. I am also sure that we will find out as soon as it is too late to do anything about it.

These plants can survive on only 8 inches of rain per year, which is just about our annual average. This year, we have already had our yearly average - which is why the cactus and imposter plants are blooming so prolifically right now. It really is a glorious show going on right now in Mesquite - and that includes the alien spiders with their crimson blooms.

Ocotillo blooms in Sun City Mesquite NV

Ocotillo blooms in Mesquite NV - not really a cactus, just looks like one.

And this May 31 Day challenge is killing me.

ActiveRainPhotoBloggerContest - Sun City Mesquite Argentine Giant Cactus Blooms

My Pesky Buyers in Salem Oregon found just the right home here in Sun City Mesquite NV and went home to pack and move. Little did Marilyn and Art know that they had a treasure in their new backyard. The Giant Argentine Pipe Cactus is common in the Mesquite desert landscape - it grows well in the desert in Nevada, Arizona and Utah. But their cactus had 46 buds growing as we were getting ready to close escrow. The seller had moved out a few weeks ago, and I kept going over to the house to check on the cactus, and take pictures of the blooms to show the new owners when they arrived.

We had a long winter in Mesquite, with lots of cloudy days and over 7 inches of rain already in 2011. That is almost twice our usual annual average. So when the Mesquite area desert cactus plants finally started to bloom, it was spectacular. Cactus grows well here, as well as many flowering shrubs and trees - including prize winning roses. In the desert. Mesquite is sitting on a huge aquifer, so we have our own water - full of minerals that the plants love.

The day after Art and Mike arrived at their new Sun City home, many of the cactus buds were starting to open. I was with some other buyers that day, and told them about it. The Argentine cactus blooms might only last one day before withering. Joanne and Keith were good sports about my little mission to get a picture of the "Argentine Cactus with The Most Blooms." They didn't seem to mind dropping by the house every couple of hours in between looking at Mesquite homes. Joanne took a couple of pictures, too.

By late afternoon, I thought I had some great shots with 8 to 10 blooms at a time. But Art called me after dinner and said, "you better get up here."

23 of the buds had bloomed, each flower was about 10 inches across, and the sun was about to set. I got this photo right before the sun set that night. And the next morning .... all withered already, completely dried up by the next evening.

Argentine Pipe Cactus Blooms Sun City Mesquite NV

I got my shot of the Argentine Giant Cactus just in time - the best in my collection of desert blooms! Next: the largest and bloomiest Ocotillo in Mesquite - and I already know where it is. :)

Sun City Mesquite Resales - Compare to new homes in this 55 + community

Sun City Mesquite NV Resale Homes For Sale in Pulte Del Webb's Active Adult Community for 55 plus residents. One of the most active new home subdivisions in Mesquite - Sun City has kept their sales up through even our tough market in 2010.

Sun City Mesquite is still the top selling subdivision in Mesquite Nevada and is Pulte Del Webb's top selling 55 + subdivision for active adults in the U.S. A small percentage of their new homes can be sold to buyers who are only 50 years old. The average age of homeowners in Sun City is about 60 years old.

The opening early last year of their Conestoga Golf Course - a public course within Sun City Mesquite and managed by Troon, has created even more interest to second home purchasers and buyers ready to retire and relocate to Mesquite. About half of these homes are purchased as a second home or vacation home for active adults. Full time and part time residents qualify for the VIP rates and preferred tee times at Conestoga Golf Course.

Pulte Del Webb restructured their new base prices in 2009 and eliminated many of the features that were standard - The price adjustment reflected several cost savings experienced by value engineering in each series and floor plans. Upgrades and features are now added on to the base price.

I represent buyers in the purchase of a new home or a resale home.

Sun City Mesquite Homes for Sale

If you are in the market for a new home in a 55+ community in Mesquite - I can help you compare new homes to the Sun City Resales that are now becoming available with a good selection of floor plans. Sun City does not allow homeowners to use For Sale or For Rent signs in the subdivision - there is usually an inventory of about 30 resale homes for sale and new home buyers might not even know about them.

Most of the Sun City Mesquite Resales in Mesquite MLS were purchased with the upgrades and options that are no longer included in the price of the new homes. Many of these homes have been further upgraded with window coverings, 2 or 3 tone paint, appliances, landscaping and even swimming pools.

Sun City Mesquite's Pioneer Recreation Center is centrally located in the subdivision for the use of residents and their guests only. Enjoy the indoor pool and spas 365 days a year - the outdoor pool and spas are open seasonally. Weight room, tennis courts, bocce ball courts and a nine-hole putting green are in place for residents to use all year.

Sun City Mesquite 55 + Active Adult Community Park - Snowy mountain views

Visits to my mother in law in Sun City Mesquite always include a stop at one of the 55+ active adult community fabulous parks or walking trails. My dog, ActiveMikey insists upon it. :) He loves the lawns and barks at the cactus trees. Most of the parks in Sun City are pet friendly with benches and dog waste stations. Not like they have restrooms for dogs - you have to pick it up with a bag and throw it away, but they provide the bags. :)

Yesterday morning we awoke to snow on the mountains surrounding Mesquite, and some Wizard of OZ looking weather on the horizon - yet the golfers were out in the clear but crisp Mesquite weather. 55 degrees.

With over 300 days of sun per year, watching the snow drop on the mountains is a treat.

Sun City Mesquite Pet Friendly Park

Another subdivision in Mesquite with some great park areas and walking paths is Sunset Greens gated golfcourse community on the Casablanca Golf Course. While not designated as a 55 + or active adult community, with townhomes and single family homes, RV or boat parking, walking paths, plus 2 swimming pools Sunset Greens is a good alternative community for a second home or retirement home.
