National builder debuts beautiful new homes on large homesites in the Bartram Park area

KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its Bartram Creek community in Jacksonville, Fla., where homebuyers will have the opportunity to live in the desirable Bartram Park area and just minutes from major transportation and employment corridors. Four new model homes are now open for the public to tour.

Bartram Creek residents will be able to enjoy their new homes customized to their specifications on large homesites within a charming neighborhood that will feature a community clubhouse, pool, and playground on-site, as well as nearby canoeing and kayaking along the Bartram Canoe Trail.

Located on Racetrack Road, Bartram Creek will feature 168 single-family homes ranging from 1,494 to 4,012 square feet that can accommodate up to six bedrooms and four baths with two- or three-car garages. Pricing begins in the low $200,000s, with no CDD fees, which can be an important consideration for area buyers.

All new KB homes, including those at Bartram Creek, are ENERGY STAR® certified, which helps KB homebuyers lower their energy costs and minimize their impact on the local environment. Each home can be personalized to meet each homebuyer’s lifestyle and budget, from lot location to floor plan and structural options to exterior elevation and many décor choices.
