Sweetgrass Village offers personalized new homes with a variety of planned community amenities and near top-rated schools, priced from the mid $200,000s.

HOUSTON, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., today announced the grand opening of its newest community within the sought-after Sweetgrass Village master plan in Crosby, Texas. These new homes are designed for the way people live today, with popular features like modern kitchens overlooking large great rooms, expansive bedroom suites with walk-in closets, and lofts. Sweetgrass Village's one- and two-story floor plans feature up to five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Planned community amenities include walking paths, pickleball courts, a playground and recreation center with a pool and splash pad. Sweetgrass Village is zoned for the "Recognized" Crosby Independent School District.

What sets KB Home apart is the company's focus on building strong, personal relationships with every customer, so they have a real partner in the homebuying process. Every KB home is uniquely built for each customer, so no two KB homes are the same. Homebuyers have the ability to personalize their new home, from floor plans to exterior styles to where they live in the community. Their home comes to life in the KB Home Design Studio, a one-of-a-kind experience where customers get both expert advice and the opportunity to select from a wide range of design choices that fit their style and their budget. Reflecting the company's commitment to creating an exceptional homebuying experience, KB Home is the #1 customer-ranked national homebuilder based on homebuyer satisfaction surveys from a leading third-party review site.

"We are excited to introduce Houston-area homebuyers to beautiful one- and two-story homes within a highly desirable master plan featuring a wide variety of planned amenities, including walking paths, a children's playground and recreation center with a pool and splash pad," said Brett Dietz, President of KB Home's Houston division. "Families will also appreciate Sweetgrass Village's proximity to top-rated schools and outdoor recreation at Lake Houston and Baytown Nature Center. At KB Home, we're here to help you achieve your dream with a personalized new home built uniquely for you and your life." 

Innovative design plays an essential role in every home KB builds. The company's floor plans inspire contemporary living, with a focus on roomy, light-filled spaces that have easy indoor/outdoor flow. KB homes are engineered to be highly energy and water efficient and include features that support healthier indoor environments. They are also designed to be ENERGY STAR^® certified — a standard that fewer than 12% of new homes nationwide meet — offering greater comfort, well-being and utility cost savings than new homes without certification.

Sweetgrass Village is in a convenient location that offers homebuyers an exceptional lifestyle. The new community is situated off Crosby Cedar Bayou Road, providing easy access to Highway 90, Interstate 10 and the Grand Parkway for a quick commute to major employment centers in downtown Houston, the Port of Houston, and Houston Medical Center. Residents will also enjoy the proximity to a variety of outdoor recreation, including Pirates Bay Waterpark, Baytown Nature Center, Xtreme Off Road Park & Beach and Lake Houston.

The Sweetgrass Village sales office and model homes are open for walk-in visits and private in-person tours by appointment. Homebuyers also have the flexibility to arrange a live video tour with a sales counselor. Pricing begins from the mid $200,000s.
