What Inspirada does

Inspirada is a master-planned residential community in Henderson, Nevada, built and sold by KB Home, a publicly traded U.S. homebuilder (NYSE: KBH) operating 49 markets across nine states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Washington) with a nearly 70-year operating history and more than 700,000 cumulative homes delivered. The Inspirada community comprises sub-communities including Gardens at Inspirada (from $489,750) and Landings at Inspirada (from $474,750), offering single-family homes with KB Home's energy- and water-efficiency standards: ENERGY STAR and ENERGY EDGE PLUS certifications, WaterSense fixtures, MERV-13 filtration, and an integrated smart-home stack featuring Google Hello video doorbells, Alarm.com security, Kwikset Home Connect locks, Whirlpool smart appliances, and iDevices energy-monitoring outlets, all managed via a mobile app and the MyKB web portal.

The underlying technical stack combines standardized energy-efficient building systems with a personalization layer delivered through KB Design Studios (e.g., Bellevue, WA) where buyers configure floor plans, exterior elevations, and design options from partner brands (Shaw Floors, Sherwin-Williams, Daltile, Cosentino, Moen, Visual Comfort), with premium upgrades financeable through the home loan. Health-and-sustainability features (MERV-13 air filters, antimicrobial door hardware, low-chemical cabinetry, solar systems in California) and a 10-Year Limited Warranty reinforce the value proposition.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time home sales, with adjacent streams from Design Studio upgrade options and affiliated mortgage financing via KBHS Home Loans, LLC (NMLS 1542802, common ownership), offering conventional, FHA, and specialty loan products. The go-to-market combines on-site community sales offices, direct-to-consumer digital channels (kbhome.com, MyKB, KB Home app), self-guided and live video tours, and a Broker Cooperation program for real estate agents. Primary customer segments are individual homebuyers — first-time buyers, families, and move-up buyers — with secondary outreach through agent channel partners.
