Beautiful homes from the low-$200,000s now available with easy access to downtown and abundant outdoor recreation

KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its Vista Point community in southeast Austin. This 89-acre new home community offers amazing views of the city skyline and excellent nearby opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.

Vista Point is conveniently located at the intersection of William Cannon and McKinney Falls Parkways, with quick access to IH-35, Highway 183, as well as the SH-130 toll road. The neighborhood offers an easy commute to some of the area’s major employers, as well as Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and the nearby communities of Bastrop and Kyle.

KB homeowners will be able to take advantage of the community’s beautiful amenities, including parkland, a playscape and a full-sized basketball court. Additionally, there are numerous outdoor recreation opportunities available at nearby McKinney Falls State Park which boasts camping, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, fishing and wildlife observation in its nearly 750 acres of parkland.

Families who call Vista Point home are also only minutes away from shopping and dining at Southpark Meadows and South Congress or the “SoCo District” near downtown Austin. Children living in Vista Point will attend Del Valle ISD public schools.

Priced from the low-$200,000s, the 344 KB homes to be built in Vista Point will range in size from 1,582 to 3,125 square feet, with open layouts, spacious outdoor living areas, and up to six bedrooms and four baths. In addition, with KB Home's unique homebuilding approach, homebuyers in Vista Point are able to personalize their home to their individual preferences by selecting their lot and floor plan, along with numerous choices in customizing their décor elements, such as flooring, paint colors, and kitchen options.

As with all new KB homes, the homes at Vista Point will be ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they are some of the most energy-efficient available today and have the potential to save homeowners money on their utility costs when compared to typical new or resale homes.
