KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its Autumn Overlook community in Ellicott City, where homebuyers have the opportunity to buy beautiful new homes in a neighborhood that offers convenient access to major transportation and employment centers, including Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

Autumn Overlook is close to Routes 100 and 29, making daily commutes easier for residents, who will also enjoy quick access to the variety of shopping, entertainment and transportation options that historic downtown Ellicott City offers.

With pricing beginning in the mid-$700,000s, KB Home plans to construct a total of 20 one- and two-story single-family homes at Autumn Overlook, with flexible floor plans that range from 2,732 to 3,266 square feet, and can accommodate up to six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Through KB Home’s unique homebuying experience, each home can be personalized – from lot location to floor plan, structural options to exterior elevation, and many décor choices – to meet a homebuyer’s lifestyle and budget. The new KB Home neighborhood features large wooded homesites and desirable community amenities, including a pool, clubhouse, children’s playground and access to the tennis courts in Taylor Village.

To celebrate the occasion, KB Home will be hosting a grand opening event on Saturday, May 16, 2015, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Guests will be able to tour new model homes and enjoy food and beverages.

Like all KB homes, those available at Autumn Overlook are ENERGY STAR® certified and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures as standard, meaning they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient than most other typical new and resale homes. The water- and energy-saving features built into every new KB home can also help homeowners save money on their monthly utility bills.
