KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, and one of the most active in Northern California, today announced that new KB homes are now available at the builder’s Avalon community in North Stockton. At Avalon, homebuyers will have the choice of five one- and two-story floor plans and be within minutes of the area’s major highways, wine country and abundant outdoor activities.

KB Home plans to construct a total of 63 one- and two-story homes at Avalon. The five floor plans range from 1,996 to 3,105 square feet, with up to six bedrooms and four baths, with some featuring an option for a three-car garage. The community is also attractively priced, as the new customizable homes begin in the low $300,000s. Each KB home can be personalized to meet a homebuyer’s lifestyle and budget, from lot location to floor plan and structural options to exterior elevation and many décor choices.

Situated in California’s picturesque Central Valley near the banks of the San Joaquin River and Sierra foothills, KB Home’s new Avalon community is located in the highly-desirable Lodi School District and within walking distance to neighborhood schools. Just off of Highway 99, Avalon is ideal for residents who want to take advantage of all the area has to offer. Additionally, the location is a short commute to neighboring downtown Sacramento and affords easy access to the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE Train), which provides a direct link to San Francisco Bay area and Silicon Valley employment centers, as well as entertainment and shopping attractions.

The Central Valley is renowned for its lively festivals, annual events and a thriving waterfront. The area presents a gateway to the Sierra Mountains, the surrounding Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta as well as the Lodi and Amador County wine country. Homeowners at Avalon can spend the day shopping the Miracle Mile’s unique boutiques, hitting the slopes, or cruising the California Delta.

All KB homes at Avalon 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.

Modern and energy-efficient KB homes are now available at Avalon. For more information, visit www.kbhome.com or call 888-KB-HOMES.
