KB Home Announces the Grand Opening of Its Sweetgrass Community in Dacono

DACONO, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

KB Home KBH, one of the nation's largest and most recognized homebuilders, is welcoming home shoppers at its newest Colorado community, a distinctive collection of spacious and flexible single-family homes called Sweetgrass. Situated midway between Denver and Fort Collins, Sweetgrass features a charming, rural atmosphere with beautiful views of the Front Range and close proximity to I-25 and the E-470 corridor, enabling convenient travel throughout the area.

With Thornton and Denver to the south, Longmont and Boulder to the west, and Loveland and Fort Collins to the north, Sweetgrass offers quick commutes to surrounding employment centers and the region's abundant recreational attractions. Residents at Sweetgrass can enjoy golfing, motorsports, fishing, and other exciting outdoor and water activities nearby, as well as shopping and dining at several of the area's premier retail complexes.

“With Dacono's striking natural scenery, direct highway access to the mountains as well as urban destinations, and dynamic local economy, we believe home shoppers will find Sweetgrass a wonderful place to call home,” said Matt Mandino, president of KB Home's Colorado division. “We invite homebuyers to explore the brand new home designs we are introducing for the very first time at Sweetgrass and discover all the benefits of living in this vibrant new neighborhood.”

There are 12 flexible floor plans ranging in size from 1,565 to 3,462 square feet available at KB Home's Sweetgrass. Homebuyers have their choice of five ranch-style single-story homes and seven two-story homes, which can be personalized to include two to six bedrooms, two to four-and-a-half baths, and two- or three-car garages. Pricing includes a partial basement and begins in the high $200,000s.

Homebuyers at Sweetgrass will be able to tailor their chosen floor plan to suit their individual preferences through KB Home's unique homebuilding process. Standard and additional choices offered at Sweetgrass include structural modifications like converting a floor plan's designated flex space into a study, home office, or media center, décor details like flooring and cabinetry, and functional features like central vacuuming and whole-home audio systems.

As with all new KB homes, the homes built at Sweetgrass 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, especially when compared to other new or resale homes.

To help KB homeowners better manage their energy usage, KB Home now includes an innovative Wiser™ home management system in all of its new homes, including those at Sweetgrass, at no additional cost. The system allows homeowners to track their home's energy consumption, in real-time, from practically anywhere. Armed with the knowledge of their home's energy expenditures, homeowners can seek to maximize their home's energy efficiency by reducing or shifting energy use during peak times.

Also standard in all new KB homes is a built-in USB outlet located in the kitchen, so smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices can be charged directly into the wall. When charging is complete, the USB outlet effectively “shuts down” to reduce wasted electric costs.

KB Home is celebrating the grand opening of Sweetgrass Friday, May 30 at 3162 Sweetgrass Parkway, Dacono, CO, 80514. For more information, visit www.kbhome.com or call the community directly at 303-323-1196.
