When choosing a KB Home community, start with a list of priorities (aside from the home itself) to help determine the best fit for your lifestyle. Location and proximity to work, schools, shopping and major transportation corridors are important. The inclusion of on-site amenities, like parks, trails and pools can also be significant if you want outdoor activities in your immediate surroundings.

The ideal neighborhood should feel right from day one, and complement your daily routine — from work commutes to family education and weekend recreation.
