KB Home (NYSE: KBH) Tuesday announced that Homestead, a new neighborhood of one-story ranch homes in commuter-friendly Maricopa, Arizona is now open for sales.
Situated in the established Homestead master-planned community between W. Smith Enke Road and Honeycutt Road, Homestead is convenient to State Route 347 and Interstate 10.
KB Home will be building 84 one-story homes and offering five floor plans on expansive home sites. With up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and ranging in size from 1,400 to 2,300 square feet, the KB homes at Homestead feature spacious master bedrooms with large walk-in closets, covered patios, and optional three-car garages, detached garages or detached garages with a workshop. Pricing begins in the $190,000s.
Residents of Homestead can enjoy the planned community amenities, including parks, playgrounds, green belts, open space, volleyball and basketball courts, and softball and baseball fields. Additionally, the new community is just minutes away from Copper Sky Park, which offers 98 acres of nearly endless opportunities for fitness, fun and leisure. The City of Maricopa Park includes softball and baseball fields, tennis and basketball courts, a skate park, interactive playgrounds, shaded ramadas with BBQ grills and picnic tables, a special event amphitheater, dog park and a stocked lake for fishing enthusiasts.
“At Homestead, KB homebuyers can take advantage of the exceptionally large home sites, distinctive floor plans, and wide array of design choices,” said Rob McGibney, regional president of KB Home’s Southwest markets. “Additionally, we expect the community’s planned amenities and proximity to myriad recreational opportunities will be particularly attractive to home buyers who maintain an active lifestyle.”
The KB homes at Homestead will be built to current ENERGY STAR® guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, meaning they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient than most typical new and resale homes available in the area. These energy- and water-saving features are estimated to save KB home buyers between $864 to $1,140 a year in utility costs, depending on floor plan.
