Desert Oasis II

Located in Las Vegas, NV, the Desert Oasis II is an addition to the pre-existing 75-unit Volunteers of America senior housing project, Desert Oasis. This latest phase, newly constructed on the original 4.87-acre parcel, comprises a modern two-story apartment building housing 43 new rentals, including 31 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom apartments and designated common areas. It also features an accessible elevator for the convenience of residents. An approximately 1,500 square feet recreational clubhouse with amenities such as a fitness center, media room and library, computer center, health and wellness room, laundry room, and leisure spaces boasting a pool table and piano adds vibrancy to the community’s spirit. An addition of an exquisite community garden supplements the charm of the property.

The entire Desert Oasis II development holds an Energy Star rating, demonstrating the project’s commitment to sustainability. Throughout the building is the integration of a variety of energy-efficient and eco-friendly building systems and features. Among these are photovoltaic panels that contribute at least 11% of the project’s electricity, Energy Star-rated windows and appliances, tankless water heaters, and water-conserving toilets. Furthermore, the project adopted green building practices, such as low and no-VOC materials, and extended this environmental consciousness to its outdoor spaces, featuring xeriscape water-conserving desert landscaping.

Every corner of the project demonstrates accessible design and a strict adherence to regulations concerning accessibility and adaptability. Apartments are fitted with grab bars and walk-in showers for the convenience of residents. Aside from its diverse amenities, the clubhouse also includes an examination room. External features such as a dog park, a community garden with raised beds, and the proximity to a walking and biking path further enhance the appeal of the development. Residents also benefit from various on-site supportive services, including health and wellness screenings, doctor visits, food distribution, diverse transportation options, and a range of social and educational activities managed by an on-site coordinator.
