Montaretto Estates is a gated community of 95 single-story homes ranging in size from 1,231 to 2,413 square feet.

A variety of design elements of the KB homes at Montaretto Estates can be tailored to best fit each home buyer's individual tastes and budget at the KB Home Design Studio. Pricing starts in the mid-$200,000s.

Like all KB homes, those offered at Montaretto Estates will be built to ENERGY STAR® guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, meaning they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient than most other typical new and resale homes.
