beautifully designed parks, picturesque trails and scenic paseos.
Located within the Villages of Irvine® and just minutes from

by excellent dining and entertainment. The area features abundant
outdoor recreational opportunities, with plenty of parks, public golf
courses and protected open spaces for residents to enjoy year round.
Additionally, Orange County theme parks, including Disneyland®

Interstates 5 and 405 as well as State Routes 133 and 241 for easy

KB Home will host a grand opening celebration at Genoa at Orchard Hills
on Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., during which attendees may tour the
elegantly appointed model homes. Refreshments will be provided.
At Genoa at Orchard Hills, KB Home plans to construct 110 homes in three
distinct two-story floor plans that range in size from 3,550 to 3,950
square feet. These modern KB homes include up to five bedrooms and
four-and-a-half baths and feature desirable design characteristics like
ground floor bedroom suites, sleek gourmet kitchens, elegant master
suites and open lofts. Each new home offers a private yard, ideal for
entertaining. Pricing begins at $1.7 million.
“This new community offers stunning natural beauty, stylish architecture
and breathtaking valley views,” said Steve Ruffner, president of KB
Home’s Coastal division and its Southern California regional general
manager. “The resort-style amenities, parks and scenic trails inspire a
vibrant, active lifestyle, and the luxurious residences offer buyers the
opportunity to create their own personalized sanctuary.”
The KB homes at Genoa at Orchard Hills will include a standard solar
power system and WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, be
built to current ENERGY STAR® certification guidelines and
achieve EPA Indoor airPLUS qualification. This means these KB homes are
designed to be more energy and water efficient and have better indoor
air quality than most typical new and resale homes available in the
area. These energy- and water-saving features are estimated to save
buyers between $1,872 and $1,944 a year in utility costs, depending on
the floor plan. Additionally, buyers will have the opportunity to
increase the number of solar panels on their new home to potentially
further reduce their utility bills.
KB Home will also be offering the KB Smart Home System as a standard
feature at Genoa at Orchard Hills. The KB Smart Home System, which
leverages the power of Google Assistant™, allows KB homeowners to
control the functionality of their smart-home features, automate
routines to their individual preferences and live more comfortably and
efficiently in their new homes.
As part of KB Home’s distinct home building process, buyers may
personalize many aspects of their new home to suit their budget and
preferences. After selecting their lot and floor plan, KB homebuyers may
confer 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 plethora of design choices,
including countertops, cabinets, lighting, appliances and window
coverings.
The Genoa at Orchard Hills model homes and sales center is located at 57
Suede in Irvine, California. From I-5 or I-405, exit Culver Dr. heading
east. Turn left on Furrow, right on Woody Knoll, left on Fallen Branch,
left on Ruby Hill and left on Suede. The sales center is open,
Tuesdays–Sundays, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., and Mondays, 1–6 p.m.
