RV parking is one of the hardest things to find in a Las Vegas home, and one of the most expensive to add — which is exactly why the tour of Richmond American's Darius at Newbridge in southwest Las Vegas draws the reaction it does. Newbridge offers Richmond American's UltraGarage® — an extra-tall, extra-deep garage bay built to swallow an RV, a boat, or a lifted truck — as an option on homes like the Darius. Pair that with a single-story layout and dual owner's suites, and you have a home built for buyers who need real space, not just square footage. Across the roughly 9,600 closings our team at Nevada Real Estate Group has represented, "where do I put the RV?" and "we need a second primary suite" are two of the most common wish-list items that resale homes simply can't answer. This is the home featured in our latest tour.
This guide breaks down the Darius at Newbridge — how the single-story layout and dual suites work, what the UltraGarage RV bay actually is (and what to confirm before you count on it), what to know about pricing, and who the home fits. It draws on Richmond American's published plan materials plus our own experience with southwest Las Vegas buyers, and it's paired with our video tour so you can walk it yourself.
Richmond American's Darius at Newbridge in southwest Las Vegas is a single-story home — about 2,830 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, in the Modern Living Collection. Its standouts are dual owner's suites and Newbridge's available UltraGarage RV bay — an extra-tall garage for an RV or boat. The base plan has a standard 3-car garage, so confirm the UltraGarage option and current pricing with the builder.

What Is Richmond American's Darius at Newbridge?
The Darius is a single-story single-family home at Newbridge, a Richmond American community in southwest Las Vegas near Blue Diamond Road. According to Richmond American, the Darius runs about 2,830 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, all on one level, and it's part of the builder's Modern Living™ Collection of larger ranch-style plans. The main living space centers on a gourmet kitchen with an island and a walk-in pantry, opening to a great room and a covered patio, with a study off the entry.
What makes the Darius unusual is what's around that core. It offers dual owner's suites — a second primary suite with an adjacent living area — and an option for a separate side entrance plus a kitchenette (sink, refrigerator, cabinets), which effectively turns the second suite into a private secondary residence for a parent, adult child, or long-term guest. And at Newbridge, the garage can be optioned up to Richmond American's UltraGarage RV bay. Put together, the Darius is a home for buyers who need flexible living space and serious storage on a single level.

A note on precision: Richmond American configures and prices homes by homesite and updates often, the UltraGarage is an option rather than standard on the base Darius, and gate status wasn't confirmed for Newbridge — so confirm the exact price, garage configuration, dual-suite options, and gate status of a specific Darius homesite with the builder before you write an offer. For the builder overall, see our Richmond American guide.
What Is the UltraGarage, and Is It on This Darius?
The UltraGarage is Richmond American's answer to one of the valley's most persistent buyer needs: a place to keep an RV, a boat, or oversized toys at home. According to Richmond American, the UltraGarage is an attached, extra-tall, extra-deep garage bay — roughly 45 feet deep in its largest form — designed to house a recreational vehicle inside the home rather than in a storage lot or on the street. At Newbridge, it's offered as an option on homes like the Darius.
Here's the honest part, and it matters: the base Darius comes with a standard 3-car garage, and the UltraGarage is an option — so a specific Darius home has the RV bay only if it was built or optioned with it. Before you count on the RV garage, confirm that the exact model or homesite you're touring actually includes the UltraGarage rather than the standard three-car. That's precisely the kind of detail we verify for clients, because "the community offers RV garages" and "this home has one" are two different statements. When the UltraGarage is included, it's a genuinely rare and valuable feature; when it isn't, you're looking at a standard 3-car — still generous, but not an RV bay.
Why Is RV Parking So Hard to Find in Las Vegas?
Because most homes and most HOAs weren't built for it, and adding it after the fact is expensive or impossible. Many Las Vegas HOAs restrict or prohibit parking an RV in the driveway or on the street, which pushes owners to off-site storage that commonly runs $100 to $300 a month — $1,200 to $3,600 a year, indefinitely. Building a detached RV garage or a tall RV port, where zoning and lot size even allow it, can run $30,000 to $90,000 or more, plus permitting. And a covered RV pad still leaves the vehicle exposed to the desert sun that degrades tires, seals, and finishes.
An attached UltraGarage solves all of that at once: the RV lives at home, protected from the heat, with no monthly storage bill and no HOA conflict. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, southwest Las Vegas has grown quickly with buyers who bring exactly these toys — boats for Lake Mead, off-road vehicles for the desert, RVs for the open road — and demand for at-home RV storage far outstrips supply. That scarcity is why an RV-capable home holds value: it competes for a passionate, underserved buyer pool at resale. In our experience, buyers who need RV space know it's their top priority the moment they walk in, and homes that provide it move quickly.
Why Do Dual Owner's Suites Make the Darius So Flexible?
Because a second primary suite solves a problem a spare bedroom can't. On the Darius, the second owner's suite comes with its own adjacent living area, and the plan offers an option for a separate side entrance and a kitchenette — sink, refrigerator, and cabinets. That combination turns the second suite into a semi-independent living space: a parent can have privacy and their own way in and out, an adult child gets a real apartment-like setup, or a long-term guest is fully accommodated.
For a multigenerational household, that's the whole point. According to the Pew Research Center, a record number of Americans live in multigenerational households, and the arrangements that last are the ones where every generation keeps real autonomy. The Darius delivers that on a single level — no stairs for an aging parent, and a suite complete enough to function as its own home. Even for buyers who don't need multigenerational living today, the dual-suite design is a resale asset, because the pool of families who need exactly this layout keeps growing. We walk buyers through how the side-entrance and kitchenette options change the suite before they decide.
What Does the Darius Cost in 2026?
Here's the honest pricing picture. Richmond American lists the Darius as "contact us for pricing," and the community and options drive the final number — so treat the figures below as an illustrative framework for a home this size in southwest Las Vegas, to confirm with the builder, not a quote. The UltraGarage and dual-suite options add to whatever the base runs.
| Line item | Rough figure |
|---|---|
| Est. base (comparable SW LV single-story, this size) | about $560,000–$650,000 |
| Est. price per square foot | about $198–$230/sq ft |
| UltraGarage option (est. add) | confirm with builder |
| FHA 3.5% down (on about $600,000) | about $21,000 |
| 20% down payment (on about $600,000) | about $120,000 |
| Est. Nevada property tax (about 0.5–0.6%/yr) | about $3,000–$3,600/year |
| Buyer closing costs (about 2–3%) | about $12,000–$18,000 |
Because pricing varies with the UltraGarage and dual-suite options, the number to get is the current one straight from Richmond American — we'll pull it for you. What we can say is that Nevada's tax profile helps carry a home this size. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation and the Clark County Assessor, Nevada's low effective property-tax rate — roughly 0.5% to 0.6% of value — plus the state's no personal income tax keep the monthly cost below an equivalent home in the coastal markets many buyers relocate from. On a $600,000 basis, that tax profile can save a relocating household roughly $3,000 to $6,000 a year, and the UltraGarage saves the $1,200-to-$3,600 annual RV storage bill on top.
Who Is the Darius Built For?
Buyers who need real space on a single level. The most common is the RV, boat, or toy owner who wants at-home storage and is tired of paying for a lot — the UltraGarage is built for them. Nearly as common are multigenerational families who need the dual owner's suites for a parent or adult child, and single-level buyers — downsizers or anyone planning to age in place — who want everything on one floor.
What unites them is that a standard two-story, two-car home doesn't fit their life. The Darius is built for buyers who'd rather have RV space and a second suite than an extra upstairs bedroom they don't need. In our experience, these buyers come in knowing exactly what they want — the garage and the second suite are non-negotiables — and the Darius is one of the cleaner ways to get both new in southwest Las Vegas. Our first-time buyer and general buyer resources walk through the whole process, from pre-approval to keys.
How Does Richmond American's Home Gallery Work?
Richmond American builds to order and centers personalization on its design center. According to Richmond American, buyers of select to-be-built homes personalize finishes and options at the Home Gallery™ — the Las Vegas Home Gallery is at 7770 S. Dean Martin Drive. You choose flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and available structural options there, so the base price is a starting point and your selections add to it, similar to other build-to-order builders.
For a Darius buyer, that model is a real advantage with a caveat. The advantage: you can direct your budget to what matters — the UltraGarage, the dual-suite kitchenette, durable flooring — rather than a fixed package. The caveat: options add up, so a fully-selected Darius with the RV garage and a second-suite kitchenette can land well above base. The discipline is to set a Home Gallery budget before you fall in love with upgrades, and to know which options (like the UltraGarage) carry the most value. In our experience, the design center is where new-construction budgets quietly balloon — so we walk clients through a realistic options figure before they sign.
How Energy Efficient Is the Darius?
More than most resale homes, and Richmond American gives you a number to prove it. According to Richmond American, the Darius carries a projected HERS® index around 58. The HERS (Home Energy Rating System) scale is the industry standard: a lower score means a more efficient home, a standard new home scores around 100, and a typical existing resale home scores around 130. A Darius near 58 is meaningfully more efficient than both.
In Las Vegas's cooling-heavy climate, that efficiency has real monthly value. A tighter, better-insulated envelope and efficient systems can cut cooling bills substantially versus an older resale home of the same size — often hundreds of dollars a year. When you compare the Darius to a resale home at a similar price, factor in that lower operating cost plus the full builder warranty. A new home that scores 58 on HERS versus a resale near 130 can save enough on energy over a few years to offset a meaningful share of the price difference — before you count the value of not replacing a roof or HVAC.
Where Is Newbridge in Southwest Las Vegas?
Newbridge sits in the southwest valley near Blue Diamond Road, one of Las Vegas's fastest-growing corridors. According to Richmond American, the community offers single-story and two-story plans in an area with quick access to the 215 Beltway, which connects southwest residents to Summerlin, the airport, and the Strip without fighting surface streets. The southwest is prized for its newer infrastructure, mountain views toward Red Rock, and proximity to both outdoor recreation and the valley's growing retail and dining.
For a Darius buyer specifically, the location does real work. The RV and boat owners the home is built for want easy freeway access to get their toys out of town — to Lake Mead, the desert trails, or the open road — and the southwest's 215 access delivers that. Families weigh the area's newer schools, and single-level buyers appreciate the flat, walkable streets of a newer master-planned corridor. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the southwest and Enterprise areas have absorbed a large share of the valley's growth, which keeps demand — and resale liquidity — strong. Confirm the exact HOA rules for Newbridge before relying on them, especially any that govern RV parking and use, and see our Las Vegas city guide for the broader market. If a fully gated community matters, our guard-gated communities overview is a useful comparison.
How Does Buying the RV Garage Compare to Storing an RV Off-Site?
For an RV owner, the UltraGarage isn't just a convenience — it's a financial decision worth running the numbers on. Off-site RV storage in the Las Vegas valley commonly runs $100 to $300 a month, or $1,200 to $3,600 a year, and it never stops — over ten years of ownership that's $12,000 to $36,000 with nothing to show for it, plus the hassle of driving across town every time you want to use the vehicle. Covered or enclosed storage costs even more. Building a detached RV garage at an existing home, where zoning and lot size allow, commonly runs $30,000 to $90,000 or more plus permitting, and many lots and HOAs simply won't permit it at all.
The UltraGarage folds that solution into the home. Instead of paying $2,000 or $3,000 a year indefinitely, or spending $50,000 to build a structure later, the RV bay is part of the house — protected from the desert sun that can crack tires and seals, steps from your door, and covered by one mortgage. There's a resale angle, too: an at-home RV garage is genuinely scarce, so it competes for a passionate, underserved buyer pool. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Las Vegas metro has posted strong long-run home-price appreciation, and a rare, in-demand feature like an integrated RV bay tends to hold value well. When it's eventually time to sell, the UltraGarage is exactly the kind of feature that makes a listing stand out. And for a multigenerational buyer, the dual-suite design compares favorably to the alternatives our Multi-Gen home guide breaks down, while the two-story Elm at Lexington Chase is worth a look if you want more bedrooms over garage space. We run the buy-versus-store math for every RV buyer before they decide.
What Should Buyers Know About Buying New Construction From Richmond American?
The most important thing is that the on-site sales agent works for Richmond American, not for you. That's their job — but it means the person quoting the Darius's price, the UltraGarage and suite options, the builder's affiliate financing, and the homesite premium is representing the builder's interests. According to the Nevada Real Estate Division, buyers are entitled to their own licensed representation, and on nearly every builder transaction that representation costs the buyer nothing because the builder has already budgeted a co-broke commission into the price.
Where your own agent earns their keep on a home like this is in the details: confirming whether the UltraGarage is on your specific home, verifying the dual-suite options and gate status, negotiating incentives (builders defend base price but move on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits), and keeping the appraisal on track once your Home Gallery selections are locked. In our experience, unrepresented buyers leave the most incentive money on the table — because no one at the table was on their side. Bringing your own agent costs you nothing, and if you'd like to line up financing first, we're happy to help you get a pre-approval.
What Should You Ask Before Buying the Darius?
A build-to-order home with option-driven features adds a few questions a resale purchase doesn't. Before you commit to a Darius homesite, get clear, written answers on the items below.
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the UltraGarage on this home? | The base Darius is a standard 3-car — confirm the RV bay |
| Second-suite side entrance + kitchenette | These options make the second suite semi-independent |
| Current base price + Home Gallery budget | Build-to-order adds your selections to the base |
| Gate status + HOA for Newbridge | Confirm both; RV parking rules matter here |
| HERS score for your specific home | The efficiency number affects your utility bills |
| Builder incentives (rate buydown / credits) | Usually more negotiable than base price |
The UltraGarage question is the one that matters most here, because it's the whole reason many buyers look at the Darius. We confirm exactly which garage and suite configuration a specific home has for every client, so the RV bay you're counting on is actually there before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Richmond American's Darius?
The Darius is a single-story home at Newbridge in southwest Las Vegas — about 2,830 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and dual owner's suites, in Richmond American's Modern Living Collection. Newbridge offers the UltraGarage RV bay as an option. Confirm the current price and configuration with Richmond American.
Does the Darius come with an RV garage?
Not standard. The base Darius has a 3-car garage, and Richmond American's UltraGarage RV bay is an option offered at Newbridge. So a specific Darius has the RV bay only if it was built or optioned with it — confirm the exact garage on your home before you count on RV parking.
What is the UltraGarage?
It's Richmond American's extra-tall, extra-deep attached garage bay — up to roughly 45 feet deep — designed to store an RV, boat, or oversized vehicle inside the home rather than in a storage lot. It solves the RV-parking problem that's hard and expensive to fix in most Las Vegas homes.
What are the dual owner's suites?
The Darius has two primary suites, and the second comes with its own adjacent living area plus an option for a separate side entrance and a kitchenette. That turns the second suite into a semi-independent space for a parent, adult child, or long-term guest — a strong multigenerational layout on a single level.
How energy efficient is the Darius?
Richmond American lists a projected HERS index around 58 for the Darius. Lower is better on the HERS scale, where a standard new home scores about 100 and a typical resale home about 130 — so the Darius is meaningfully more efficient, which lowers utility bills in Las Vegas's cooling-heavy climate.
Should I use my own agent to buy a Richmond American home?
Yes. The on-site agent represents Richmond American. Your own representation typically costs you nothing on a builder purchase and helps you confirm the UltraGarage and suite options, set a Home Gallery budget, verify the HOA, negotiate incentives, and manage the contract. Call us at (702) 637-1759.
Which Sources Inform This Darius Guide?
