and ranging in size from approximately 1,400 to 2,300 square feet, the
KB homes at Sapphire Dunes feature desirable design characteristics like
spacious great rooms, dens and elegant master suites. Pricing begins

Residents of Sapphire Dunes can enjoy the community’s proximity to
several area parks which feature picnic facilities, green space and play
areas. Nearby Lancaster National Soccer Center boasts 35 sports fields

plethora of shopping and dining as well as entertainment options at

“This attractive new neighborhood gives homebuyers the opportunity to
own a personalized home in an established area of Lancaster,” said Glen
Longarini, president of KB Home’s Los Angeles/Ventura division. “The
community’s convenience to multiple parks, shopping, dining,
entertainment and outdoor recreation offers residents plenty of ways to
enjoy their free time.”

The KB homes at Sapphire Dunes will be built to current ENERGY STAR®
certification 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
homebuyers between $1,728 and $2,100 a year in utility costs, depending
on floor plan.

KB Home’s distinct home building process allows buyers to personalize
many aspects of their new home to suit their budget and style. After
selecting their lot and floor plan, KB homebuyers can work with expert
design consultants who will guide them through every aspect of the
process at the KB Home Design Studio, a retail-like showroom where they
may select from a variety of design choices, including countertops,
cabinets, lighting, appliances and window coverings.
