KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of Buttercup Villas, a new community offering attractive homes in the heart of Cedar Park, a family-friendly area with convenient highway access to major employers in the tech corridor.

Buttercup Villas is ideally situated in a desirable, established neighborhood location with close proximity to Lakeline Boulevard to the west, and Highway 183 and Toll Road 183A to the east. This easy access to major highways provides residents a short commute to the area’s technology hub, featuring several prominent employers, including Apple, Dell, Freescale, AMD, Samsung and National Instruments, and also to premium shopping at Lakeline® Mall and 1890 Ranch Shopping Center.

This KB neighborhood offers homebuyers their choice of floor plans in a new customizable design collection called The Villas™ that range in size from 1,564 to 2,191 square feet, accommodating up to five bedrooms and four bathrooms. These detached condominiums include two-car garages, a fenced, private rear yard for every homesite, and a small front yard that will be maintained by the homeowners association. Once completed, the community will be home to 54 families.

Buttercup Villas includes pocket parks in the neighborhood for families to gather and get to know one another, and more outdoor recreation is within walking distance at the Buttercup Creek Natural Area and Twin Lakes Park. The community is also located within Destination Bell Boulevard, a major revitalization project in Cedar Park supporting the growth of local and new businesses. Families with school-age children in Buttercup Villas will be served by the highly desirable Leander Independent School District.

All KB homes, including those at Buttercup Villas, are ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they are designed to be more energy-efficient than most typical new and resale homes available in the area. The water- and energy-saving features built into every new KB home can also help homeowners save money on their monthly utility bills.

KB Home’s Buttercup Villas community is located at 404 Buttercup Creek Boulevard, Cedar Park, TX 78613. Visit www.kbhome.com or call 888-KB-HOMES to learn more.
