KB Home has announced the grand opening of a new community within Sweetgrass Village, a master-planned development off Crosby Cedar Bayou Road. Homes in the project start in the mid-$200,000s, a price point that has become increasingly rare inside the 610 Loop in Houston. The Crosby development will feature one- and two-story homes with up to five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, as well as planned amenities like walking trails, pickleball courts, a playground, and a recreation center with a pool and splash pad.

Why it matters

As Houston's housing market continues to push outward, this new affordable community in Crosby offers an option for buyers looking for more attainable home prices. With the city's overall inventory rising and buyer activity slowing due to higher interest rates and costs, developments like Sweetgrass Village provide an opportunity for those priced out of the central Houston market.

The details

The Sweetgrass Village community is zoned to Crosby Independent School District and sits near major transportation corridors like Highway 90, Interstate 10, and the Grand Parkway, connecting residents to downtown Houston, the Port of Houston, and the Texas Medical Center. KB Home says buyers will be able to customize floor plans and design elements through its in-house design studio process, and the homes are designed to meet ENERGY STAR certification standards for improved energy efficiency and lower utility costs.
