KB Home opened its new Talavera neighborhood for information in the Mountain's Edge master plan in the southwestern valley.

Talavera will feature KB's signature Built to Order, Energy Star and Energy Plus certified new homes with a new twist. All homes built will be solar ready. This means that all new homes built at Talavera can easily be retrofitted to include solar-power systems and/or solar thermal water-heating systems with minimal disruption to the completed home. If the owners decide they would like to add either of these things to their new home after it is completed, KB Home will refer them to a licensed third-party provider.

The KB homes available at Talavera are designed to help homeowners save money on monthly expenses by earning both the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star as well as NV Energy's Energy Plus certification, even without adding solar power. Features like programmable thermostats, radiant roof barrier, low-e windows and efficient heating and cooling systems help keep household utility bills low.

To better illustrate the advantages of such a home, KB Home now includes its Energy Performance Guide in all of its new homes. Similar to mpg stickers on cars, the EPG provides KB homebuyers with estimated monthly electric and gas costs for their new home as designed, as well as valuable information on the home's relative energy efficiency when compared to a typical new home or resale home.

Home shoppers have their choice of nine floor plans ranging in size from 1,373 to 2,568 square feet with two to five bedrooms, two to three baths and two-car garages.

The one- and two-story homes are designed to be open and airy with great rooms opening up to outdoor living areas with optional covered patios. Flexible den or loft spaces can be converted to an additional bedroom.

Those visiting Talavera this weekend will have their pick of homesites and secure introductory pricing from the $130,000s.

The sales center is located at 7079 Glencoe Harbor Ave. From the southern Las Vegas Beltway, exit Buffalo Drive and head south. Continue about 5 miles and turn left on Cactus, right on Shades Park Street to the sales office on the right. From Interstate 15, exit Blue Diamond Road and head west about 5 miles. Turn left on Buffalo, left on Cactus, and right on Shades Park Street to the sales office.
