Family resides in Comfort at Astoria Homes’ ® Southern Hills Community

Looking for a larger home for her family at the right price, Stefanie Van Aken, 31, a married mother of two, knew she and her husband, Kelly, wanted to search for a home to raise their children as well as entertain guests.

"We wanted a home that was inviting to our guests, but kid friendly as well," said Van Aken, who is the marketing director for Ollies Tavern. "I am a previous employee of ASTORIA HOMES, so I am well aware of the quality and comfort that they offer."

Southern Hills by ASTORIA HOMES features everything about a new home that the Van Akens were looking for. Southern Hills' homeowners are treated to the fantastic views of the famous Las Vegas Strip skyline and the Black Mountains.

"We like to have people over for dinner and drinks, I do lunch and playdates with my girlfriends and their children, and my husband and I like to go out to eat at fine restaurants or see a movie," said Van Aken. "The area that we live in makes it so easy to get around and enjoy ourselves."

"Kim was excellent. She was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the home we were purchasing, but the real estate market itself," said Van Aken.

are very glad they made.
