Avalon West, an apartment community that will be built in two phases, officially opened its doors on July 22, 2016.
The complex is located at 240 Desert Pass Street along a relatively new street connecting the Remcon Circle area to Resler Drive. The residential component is located on the eastern side of the street while future commercial/retail uses will be located on the western side.

The first phase of Avalon West includes 262 units ranging in size from 567 to 1,355 square feet. Floor plans include one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
Individual units include amenities such as granite countertops, fiber optic TV and internet wiring, and washer and dryer connections.

No word on tenants or the type of retail expected at the development, which can be seen from Interstate 10 and is located just south of the Cinemark Theater between Resler Drive and North Mesa Street.
West Side commuters driving south on Resler Drive towards I-10 will most likely have noticed a new street and traffic signal just before the freeway connector, the new Desert Pass Street that leads into the development.
