KB Home Announces the Grand Opening of Ridgeline in Lakeside

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

KB Home KBH, one of the nation's largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its Ridgeline community in San Diego County. Located in Lakeside on a beautiful hilltop with outstanding mountain views, Ridgeline is convenient to San Diego's employment centers and plentiful outdoor attractions.

Ridgeline is close to Interstate 8, Highways 52 and 67, and a station for the San Diego Trolley, which offers a fun way to travel throughout San Diego. KB homeowners will also be able to take advantage of the community's exclusive amenities, including parks, children's play yards, and barbecue areas. Additionally, there are numerous outdoor recreation opportunities available at nearby New Santee Town Center Community Park, the Santee Aquatics Center, Mission Trails Regional Park and San Diego's beautiful beaches.

The 52 attractively designed homes planned at Ridgeline will range in size from 1,836 to 2,076 square feet, with up to five bedrooms and three baths, and feature open layouts and spacious outdoor living areas. In addition, with KB Home's unique homebuilding approach, homebuyers at Ridgeline are able to personalize their home to their individual preferences by selecting the lot and floor plan of their choice and then customizing décor elements, such as flooring and paint colors. Pricing begins in the low-$500,000s.

As with all new KB homes, the homes at Ridgeline will be ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they are some of the most energy-efficient available today and have the potential to save homeowners money on their utility costs when compared to typical new or resale homes.

For example, at current residential electric rates, KB Home estimates that a KB homeowner living in a 2,076 square foot home at Ridgeline could save more than $1,800 annually in energy costs compared to a typical, similarly-sized resale home. Solar power systems are also available at Ridgeline to help homeowners further reduce their energy consumption.

Additionally, all KB homes include a number of water-saving features to help reduce use and save money. The standard water-efficient features included in every KB home, such as WaterSense® labeled faucets, toilets, and showerheads, can save up to an estimated 30,000 gallons of water and $300 in utility bills annually when compared to a home that lacks these features.

KB Home's Ridgeline is now open at 13210 Cuyamaca Vista Drive in Lakeside. To learn more about Ridgeline, visit www.kbhome.com or call 888-KB-HOMES.
