KB Home has opened its newest community, Seaton Hollow, in North Jacksonville, Florida, offering one‑ and two‑story homes with up to five bedrooms and three baths. The homes start in the low $300,000s and are built under the company’s “Built‑to‑Order” model, allowing buyers to customize floor plans, exterior styles, and interior finishes through the Design Studio.
Seaton Hollow is ENERGY STAR®‑certified and carries no community‑development‑district fees, positioning it as a cost‑conscious option for families in a competitive market. The community sits near major interstates I‑95 and I‑295, Naval Station Mayport, and Jacksonville International Airport, and is close to River City Marketplace and downtown Jacksonville employers.
The opening is part of KB Home’s broader Southeast strategy, which has seen the builder acquire new divisions in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The company’s Q3 2025 earnings showed a $1.61 EPS beat of $0.11 over the $1.50 consensus, driven by strong demand for its BTO homes and disciplined cost control, even as revenue fell 7.4% year‑over‑year to $1.62 billion. Management lowered its fiscal 2025 housing revenue guidance to $6.1‑$6.2 billion from $6.3‑$6.5 billion, reflecting concerns about cost inflation and a softer demand environment.
KB Home’s focus on the Built‑to‑Order model and ENERGY STAR certification aligns with its strategy to deliver personalized, energy‑efficient homes while maintaining margins. The company’s recent share repurchases of $188 million and liquidity of $1.2 billion underscore its confidence in sustaining growth despite market headwinds.
The Seaton Hollow launch demonstrates KB Home’s commitment to expanding in high‑demand areas while offering affordability and sustainability, reinforcing its competitive position in the Southeast housing market.
