KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today announced its latest Central California community, Belluno, in north Stockton.
Belluno is situated close to Interstate 5 and Highway 99, providing easy access to downtown Stockton, Sacramento, the Bay Area, and the Sierra Mountains.
Belluno is convenient to major regional employment centers, the downtown Stockton waterfront, and the Altamont Commuter Express train (ACE). Residents can also enjoy its proximity to several attractions, including popular shopping and dining destinations, Oak Grove Regional Park, Elkhorn Golf Club, and local schools. A gated neighborhood, Belluno’s development plans include a private swimming pool.
At Belluno, KB Home plans to construct a total of 91 two-story residences, available in three home designs that range in size from 1,790 to 2,229 square feet and can accommodate up to five bedrooms, three baths, and a two-car garage. Open floor plans, ample storage spaces, and dedicated laundry rooms are characteristic of all the homes at Belluno. Pricing starts from the mid-$300,000s.
All new KB homes in California, including those at Belluno, are 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.
A tool that helps to illustrate a new KB home’s energy efficiency is the home builder’s proprietary Energy Performance Guide®, or EPG®. The EPG estimates typical gas and electric costs for KB homes, similar to an MPG sticker’s estimating fuel economy for a car. For example, as shown on its EPG, a new 2,229-square-foot KB home at Belluno could save a buyer about $129 a month compared to a typical resale home the same size. The savings would add up to over $1,500 in one year and over $46,000 over a 30-year period.
