KB Home Announces the Grand Opening of Stonecrest at The Cove in San Jacinto

SAN JACINTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

KB Home KBH, one of the nation's largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its Stonecrest at The Cove community in San Jacinto. With its picturesque natural setting and sweeping mountain views, Stonecrest offers homebuyers a great opportunity to own a new home in a desirable master-planned community near major transportation and employment corridors.

Residents at Stonecrest can take advantage of the community's proximity to I-215, I-10 and Highway 74 for convenient travel to popular destinations like Mt. San Jacinto College, Hemet Valley Mall and Diamond Valley Lake, as well as Palm Springs resorts in the Coachella Valley and Beaumont.

Priced from the low-$200,000s, the one- and two-story KB homes at Stonecrest range in size from 1,628 to 2,528 square feet, and can include as many as six bedrooms, three baths, and two-car garages. With four distinctive floor plans available, homes at Stonecrest can be personalized to suit each homebuyer's unique style and taste. The community's generous homesites will also provide homeowners the ability to enjoy expansive outdoor living areas.

As with all new KB homes, the residences at Stonecrest 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 2,338 square foot home at Stonecrest could save more than $2,000 annually in energy costs compared to a typical, similarly-sized resale home.

All KB homes, including those at Stonecrest, also incorporate a number of water-saving features, such as WaterSense® labeled faucets, toilets, and showerheads, that 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.
