National Homeownership Month: Four Stories, One Dream Realized

National Homeownership Month is a time to celebrate more than homes — it’s a time to celebrate the people, milestones, and dreams that transform a home into something truly meaningful. At Tri Pointe Homes® Nevada, every homeowner has a unique story, and this month we’re proud to spotlight four families who found more than a new address—they found the perfect place to build their future with a little help from the amazing staff at Tri Pointe Homes!

For Christina Fitch and Trevor Larsen, their new home at Carlisle Ridge in Summerlin represents a fresh start and a beautiful new chapter. After years marked by loss, resilience, and unexpected change, the couple blended their lives, their businesses, and their families. Together, they are raising six children, ranging in age from 8 to 19, and they say their beautiful new home is the perfect spot to create their new life together.

When they walked into Carlisle Ridge on a whim one Saturday, it was love at first sight. They fell in love with the home’s thoughtful design, abundant natural light, and spacious floorplan that gives every member of their blended family room to grow. More than a financial investment, they view their new home as investing in their future together. They also praise the Tri Pointe Homes team for making the process welcoming, supportive, and stress-free from start to finish.

Amber and Chris Serrano know Summerlin well. After 26 years in the community, they had long admired Tri Pointe Homes neighborhoods and hoped one day to call one home. They missed opportunities at previous neighborhoods, but when Carlisle Peak opened, they acted quickly.

The couple immediately fell in love with Plan 1 and purchased a move-in ready home because of its exceptional homesite and stunning valley views from the front courtyard. Amber, a Realtor, appreciated the quality finishes already included in the home, while Chris, who owns a shipping business, loved the convenience of being able to move in right away. They credit the Tri Pointe Homes team, especially New Home Advisor Amy, for helping make the process seamless and enjoyable.

For Tyler and Janelle Pleasant, both school teachers, the decision to purchase at Edgewood was instantaneous. The first time they visited the neighborhood, a newly available home had just come back on the market. Knowing interest would be high, they made their decision on the spot.

The former military veteran and fellow educator quickly recognized they had found something special. Their favorite feature is the private courtyard around which the home is designed, creating a peaceful retreat with beautiful views of La Madre Peaks. They enjoy morning walks through nearby parks and love being just minutes from the shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities of Summerlin. Their experience was so positive that they say they would purchase another Tri Pointe Homes home without hesitation. As they put it, “Tri Pointe Homes builds more than a house—they build a home.”

Hope Morrison’s journey began nearly 1,700 miles away in Chicago. Drawn by Southern Nevada’s sunshine and outdoor lifestyle, she purchased a Plan 1 at Alpine Ridge in the Northwest Valley before making her move west.

Throughout construction, the Tri Pointe Homes team kept her connected every step of the way. Weekly photos and video updates allowed her to follow progress from afar, while the Design Studio team helped her make selections perfectly suited to desert living and her lifestyle. Today, Hope enjoys relaxing in her private courtyard while taking in the serenity of the surrounding mountains. She praises the home’s quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and responsive customer care, even after closing.

During National Homeownership Month, these stories remind us that homeownership is about far more than square footage. It’s about creating a place where friends and families come together, dreams take shape, and new chapters begin. At Tri Pointe Homes Nevada, helping homeowners achieve those dreams is what inspires us every day.
