It knows its audience - buyers in the mid- $200,000 range - and cultivates them with pricing, features and services they want. It listens and is responsive to homeowners’ most frequent requests.

It is a multiple award winner for its use of sustainable, e-conscious and efficient building materials and energy-saving appliances as builder-standards, and has earned the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award every year since 2010. Each KBH home comes with a 10-year limited warranty for peace of mind and the roofing materials are warrantied for 25-years. All windows and glass doors come with hurricane shutters and zoned irrigation systems to keep their yards green.
The Coves of Estero Bay is a gated community of 211 single family homes with a large community pool, sun deck and cabana clubhouse. There is no CDD and low HOA fees keep down the cost of living where everyone else vacations. There are nine floorplans from which to choose and are designed around the great room concept which creates a greater sense of space and openness in the main living areas. The smallest plan, the 1310, exemplifies how to live large in 1310 square feet and still have a three- bedroom, 2-bath home. This quick-move-in home is available and ready for immediate occupancy, and represents the opportunity to own a new residence at inventory home pricing below its original list price. KBH is a volume builder that prides itself on offering a host of built-to-order features to add dream home highlights to its basic plans. Since all selections for the quick-move-in 1310 are already in place, its buyer will get the benefit of almost $25,000 worth of options for a discounted price. It has high ceilings throughout with a higher pitched volume ceiling in the great room. Impact-resistant, neutral colored wood-plank look vinyl flooring is used in all the main living areas. The home’s white cabinetry is recessed-panel with crown molding and gives the island kitchen a fresh, contemporary look. An optional line of Whirlpool appliances completes the kitchen. The covered patio adds easy outdoor living space and the home’s optional stone veneer distinguished its front elevation. The quick-move-in 1310 is listed for $270,400.
