Tule Springs just changed. A whole new neighborhood is selling on its edge, and the entry price starts under $300,000.
KB Home cut the ribbon on Sandstone on Oct. 22. Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown and members of the Latin Chamber of Commerce joined the builder at North 5th Street and the 215 Beltway.
What Just Opened in Tule Springs
Sandstone is the first phase of a master plan inside the Villages at Tule Springs. It spans nearly 300 acres, with four communities and more than 1,500 new homes.
KB Home calls it the largest new-home community it has developed in the past 10 years. A 14-home model park is open, and sales are already underway.
Division president Jim McDade put the pitch plainly. "So the majority of what we're selling is under $400,000," McDade said at the opening.
That number lands hard in Tule Springs. Resale single-family homes sold at a median of $470,000 in September, according to reporting on the opening.
The Four Price Ladders, and the One Most Buyers Will Miss
The headline price is from the $300,000s. The actual floor is lower, and it sits in the townhomes, not the single-family homes.
| Community | Home type | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| Meadows | Two-story townhomes | $299,990 |
| Gardens | Two-story single-family, 1,425 to 2,061 square feet | $339,990 |
| Landings | Two-story single-family, 1,572 to 2,469 square feet | $391,990 |
| Reserves | One- and two-story single-family, 1,644 to 3,066 square feet | $454,990 |
KB Home notes a homesite premium may also apply. Read the starting price as the floor, not the final number.
The land around the homes is part of the deal too. Plans call for more than 12 acres of parks and trails, plus pickleball and basketball courts, horseshoe pits, ramadas, playgrounds and a dog park.
A new trailhead connects the community to Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. Homes are designed to be ENERGY STAR certified, a standard KB Home says fewer than 12% of new homes nationwide meet.
How to Tour It Before the First Keys Land in January
KB Home expects to begin delivering the first homes in January. That makes this the window to walk the models before the first neighbors move in.
- Start at the model park. Tour the 14 model homes first, then compare the four communities side by side on price, size and lot.
- Ask about the premium. Get the homesite premium and the full price in writing for the exact lot you want, not just the starting price.
- Use the location. Sandstone sits by the 215 Beltway, with access to Interstates 11 and 15, and major employers including Nellis and Creech Air Force Bases.
- Check the sales hours. KB Home lists its Sandstone sales offices open Monday 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
McDade framed the whole project in one line. "Sandstone presents an opportunity for attainable homeownership in a highly desirable setting," he said in the opening announcement.
Tule Springs now has to prove it, one closing at a time. The models are open, the prices are posted, and January is close.
