Homebuyers who purchase a new KB home at Highmark at IronRidge will have the opportunity to personalize many aspects of their home as part of the builder’s unique homebuilding experience. In addition to choosing their home’s community location, floor plan, and exterior design style, homebuyers can adjust structural features to best suit their needs, such as converting the California room into a conservatory or adding a terrace off the master suite. Homebuyers can then select from a wide range of flooring, cabinets, lighting, and other interior finishes and amenities with the help of a design professional at the KB Home Studio, a retail-like center.

All new KB homes in Orange County, including those at Highmark at IronRidge, will be built to ENERGY STAR 3.0® guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, meaning they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient, and can lower utility bills for KB homeowners, compared to most typical new and resale homes available in the area. KB Home estimates that at current residential electric rates, a 3,224-square-foot, ENERGY STAR® certified KB home at Highmark at IronRidge could yield average energy savings of $1,572 per year, or over $47,000 over thirty years.
