KB Home Opens Sandstone, a 1,500+ Home Master-Planned Community in North Las Vegas
KB Home, one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, has announced the opening of the first phase of Sandstone, a major new master-planned residential development in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The expansive community spans nearly 300 acres and is planned to include four new residential neighborhoods with more than 1,500 homes within the Villages at Tule Springs.
In addition to new housing, Sandstone is being designed as a community focused on outdoor amenities, connectivity, and access to nature. Plans call for more than 12 acres of on-site parks, an extensive network of trails, and a new trailhead providing access to the nearby Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.
The development represents a significant investment in North Las Vegas and is expected to expand opportunities for homeownership in a growing part of the metropolitan area. The combination of new residential construction, planned community amenities, and proximity to employment, retail, recreation, and transportation infrastructure positions Sandstone as a major addition to the local housing market.
“KB Home’s new Sandstone master plan represents a significant investment in North Las Vegas and our future,” said Scott Black, Mayor Pro Tem of the City of North Las Vegas. “These new homes will help provide more attainable homeownership opportunities for years to come, while creating jobs, supporting local businesses and generating economic activity throughout our city.”
Strategic North Las Vegas Location
Sandstone at Tule Springs benefits from its location near several major transportation routes. Residents will have convenient access to the Las Vegas Beltway, also known as CC-215, as well as Interstates 11 and 15. These major roadways connect the community with key destinations across the Las Vegas region, including Harry Reid International Airport and major employment centers.
The location also provides access to employment opportunities at Nellis and Creech Air Force Bases, two important institutions within the broader Southern Nevada economy.
For everyday needs, residents will be close to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment destinations at Deer Springs Crossing and Deer Springs Town Center. The development’s location is also expected to appeal to residents who value outdoor recreation.
Sandstone is situated near Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, providing access to a nationally recognized natural area with unique geological and fossil resources. Golf enthusiasts can reach Shadow Creek Golf Course and Aliante Golf Club, while those seeking mountain recreation can access hiking, biking, skiing, and snowboarding opportunities at Mount Charleston and Lee Canyon.
Largest New-Home Community in a Decade
For KB Home’s Las Vegas division, Sandstone represents a particularly significant project. The development is described as the largest new-home community the company has developed in the past 10 years and marks the first phase of the broader Sandstone master plan.
“With Sandstone, we’re bringing more than 1,500 new homes to a beautiful North Las Vegas location,” said Jim McDade, President of KB Home’s Las Vegas division. “As the largest new-home community we’ve developed in the past 10 years and the first phase of an exciting new master plan, Sandstone presents an opportunity for attainable homeownership in a highly desirable setting.”
McDade also emphasized KB Home’s approach to value and personalization, noting that the company aims to provide buyers with competitive and transparent pricing while giving them control over the features and finishes included in their homes.
“At KB Home, we focus on creating value through competitive, transparent pricing and giving buyers the ability to personalize their home based on what matters most to them,” McDade said. “We put them in control, so they’re not paying for features they don’t value or compromising on ones they do.”
Homes Designed for Modern Living
The homes planned for Sandstone are designed around contemporary lifestyles, with layouts that emphasize open living spaces, functionality, and storage. Modern kitchens are positioned to overlook spacious great rooms, creating connected areas for cooking, dining, and everyday activities.
Expansive bedroom suites with walk-in closets are another feature of the home designs, while additional storage space is intended to support practical household needs.
Homebuyers will also have the opportunity to personalize their properties through the KB Home Design Studio. The studio allows customers to select from a broad range of interior design options, enabling them to create spaces that reflect their individual tastes and budgets.
This customization approach is intended to give buyers greater flexibility while helping them focus their investment on the features that matter most to their household.
Focus on Energy and Water Efficiency
Energy and water efficiency are also central elements of KB Home’s residential construction approach. Homes at Sandstone are engineered with features designed to reduce energy and water consumption while supporting healthier indoor environments.
The homes are designed to achieve ENERGY STAR® certification, a widely recognized benchmark for energy-efficient residential construction. According to KB Home, fewer than 12% of new homes nationwide meet the standard.
ENERGY STAR-certified homes can provide benefits including improved energy efficiency, enhanced comfort, and potential savings on utility costs compared with homes that do not achieve the certification.
The focus on efficiency adds another dimension to Sandstone’s overall development strategy. Alongside its location, community parks, trails, and access to outdoor recreation, the homes are being designed to address long-term household priorities such as operating costs, comfort, and indoor environmental quality.
As construction progresses, Sandstone is expected to become a substantial new residential destination within North Las Vegas. With nearly 300 acres, four planned communities, more than 1,500 homes, extensive parks and trails, and direct access to surrounding recreational resources, the master plan represents a major expansion of housing options in the Villages at Tule Springs.
The opening of its first phase marks the beginning of a long-term development program for KB Home in the Las Vegas market, combining attainable homeownership opportunities with personalization, energy efficiency, and community-oriented amenities.
