KB Home announced the grand opening of Ridgecrest, a newsingle-family home community situated in the quaint city of Kent. The new commuter friendly location offers a distinguished collection of affordably priced two-story designs that are walking distance to schools and parks. KB Home stands out from other homebuilders as the company gives homebuyers exceptional choice and control. KB Home starts by offering a wide variety of homes at an affordable price. From there, the builder gives buyers the ability to personalize their homes from homesites and floor plans to design features. All homes built meet or surpass ENERGY STAR certification standards, meaning the homes have substantially lower monthly utility costs when compared to typical used homes. The KB Home team works hand in hand with homeowners every step of the way so they have a real partner in the process. Ridgecrest is conveniently located just minutes to Highway 167 and Interstate 5, providing an easy commute to employment centers in Bellevue, Tacoma and downtown Seattle as well as access to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The community's six floor plans offer up to five bedrooms and three baths, and range in size from approximately 1,550 to 2,750 square feet. These new homes feature desirable design characteristics like gourmet kitchens overlooking expansive great rooms and master bedroom suites with walk-in closets. Residents can enjoy outdoor recreation at nearby Lake Meridian and Clark Lake Park and a variety of activities at Arbor Heights 360 Park, which is within walking distance of the community. Shopping and dining are also close at Kent Station and the nearby accesso ShoWare Center offers sporting events and concerts.
