KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today announced the grand opening of Lotus, its newest community in Orange County. Located in Santa Ana, Lotus’ central location is convenient to Interstate 405 and Highways 22 and 55 for easy commuting throughout Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.

Lotus’ proximity to many of Orange County’s premier job centers and major regional points of interest will appeal to a variety of homebuyers. Santa Ana College is a mere ten minutes away, while UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton and Chapman University are all within a thirty-minute drive. Neighboring Little Saigon features a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Family fun days can be spent relaxing in “Surf City” at the Huntington Beach pier, chasing thrills at world renowned theme parks Disneyland® and Knott’s Berry Farm®, or catching a sporting event at Angels Stadium or the Honda Center. The 607-acre Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley is less than two miles away, and school-age children living at Lotus can enroll in the Garden Grove School District.

Homebuyers at Lotus can choose between two unique three-story floor plans that feature up to four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and 1,905 total square feet. Featuring spacious great rooms, first floor bedrooms, a private gated park with a dog run, and BBQ area, homes at Lotus start in the high-$500,000s.

Like all KB homes, those offered at Lotus will be built to ENERGY STAR® guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, 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 help homeowners save on their monthly utility bills.

As part of KB Home’s unique home buying experience, residents at Lotus will have the opportunity to work with one of KB Home’s design professionals at the KB Home Design Studio to personalize many aspects of their new home by selecting the lot, floor plan, and interior finishes to best fit their lifestyle and budget.

KB Home’s Lotus is now open at 516 S Harbor Blvd. in Santa Ana. The KB Home Design Studio is located at 3911 Portola Parkway in Irvine. Visit www.kbhome.com or call 888-KB-HOMES to learn more.
