KB Home joined North Las Vegas officials and the Latin Chamber of Commerce Thursday for a ribbon‑cutting ceremony at the new Sandstone community in the Tule Springs area. The builder highlighted that the development will provide roughly 1,500 homes across about 300 acres, with prices starting in the low $300,000s.
Affordable options for first‑time buyers and growing families
“This has been multiple years in the making,” said Jim McDade, division president for KB Home. He explained that the first phase will feature a model‑home park with 14 show homes, showcasing a mix of one‑ and two‑story townhomes and single‑family homes. “The majority of what we’re selling is under $400,000,” McDade added, emphasizing the company’s philosophy of affordability and value without gimmicks.
North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes‑Brown praised the project, noting that it gives young families more options for homeownership. “It’s very important to bring a quality product at an affordable price for that young family or those looking for their first home,” she said.
Four neighborhoods, diverse housing styles
The Sandstone community will be organized into four neighborhoods, each offering a blend of townhomes and single‑family homes. By providing a range of layouts, KB Home aims to meet the needs of both first‑time buyers and those looking to move up from their initial home.
Timeline and next steps
Sales are already open, and McDade said the builder expects to begin delivering homes to buyers in January. The development’s location near the 215 Beltway and North Fifth Street positions it for convenient access to major thoroughfares, schools, and local amenities.
Impact on the local housing market
With Nevada’s housing market continuing to see demand outpace supply, the addition of 1,500 affordable units is a notable boost for North Las Vegas. The project aligns with the city’s broader efforts to expand homeownership opportunities for residents, particularly young families seeking a stable, affordable place to raise children.
KB Home’s commitment to pricing homes in the low $300,000s reflects a broader industry trend toward value‑driven development, aiming to counter rising construction costs while still delivering quality construction and modern amenities.
Community response
Local residents and business owners expressed optimism about the new development, citing potential job creation during construction and the long‑term economic benefits of increased homeownership rates. The partnership with the Latin Chamber of Commerce also underscores the builder’s intent to engage with diverse community stakeholders.
As the Sandstone community moves toward its first deliveries, North Las Vegas officials anticipate that the project will help address the city’s affordable‑housing shortage and support the growth of stable, family‑focused neighborhoods.
