Residents of Edgemont will enjoy several planned amenities such as a

an outdoor patio, basketball court and tot lot. Nearby Gateway Town
Center and Crystal Casino feature several shopping, dining and
entertainment options, and the local tamale specialist, Tamalería La
Doña, is a short drive away. Sports fans will revel in the community’s
proximity to the Coliseum, StubHub Center and the coming Inglewood
Stadium. Golf enthusiasts can tee-off at nearby Compton Par 3 Golf
Course.
KB Home will host a grand opening at Edgemont on Saturday, September 29
from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., during which attendees may tour the two
elegantly appointed model homes.
“We are happy to partner with KB Home as they bring attainable new
homeownership opportunities to the City of Compton,” said Council Member
Isaac Galvan for the City of Compton. “These new homes represent
meaningful growth and redevelopment in an area where homebuyers want to
live and call home.”
Representing the first significant residential construction project in
Compton since 2008, Edgemont will be comprised of 62 two-story new homes
in a gated enclave available in four distinct floor plans. Ranging in
size from 1,500 to 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms and
two-and-a-half baths, the KB homes at Edgemont feature desirable design
characteristics such as beautiful master suites, spacious great rooms
and dedicated laundry rooms. Pricing begins in the low-$470,000s.
“The KB homes at Edgemont represent a unique opportunity to purchase a
new home in a vibrant, centrally located Los Angeles metro area
neighborhood,” said Glen Longarini, president of KB Home’s Los
Angeles/Ventura division. “We expect the community’s private amenities
and proximity to Inglewood Stadium, the future home of the Los Angeles
Rams and Chargers, will be especially attractive to home shoppers.”
The KB homes at Edgemont will be built to current ENERGY STAR®
guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, meaning
they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient than most
typical new and resale homes available in the area. These energy- and
water-saving features are estimated to save homebuyers over $900 a year
in utility costs, depending on the floor plan.
As part of KB Home’s distinct homebuilding process, buyers may
personalize many aspects of their new home to suit their budget and
preferences. After selecting their lot and floor plan, KB homebuyers may
work with expert design consultants who guide them through every aspect
of the process at the KB Home Design Studio, a retail-like showroom
where they may select from a plethora of design and décor choices,
including countertops, cabinets, lighting, appliances and window
coverings.
The Edgemont sales office is located at 1111 South Thorson Avenue in
Compton. To reach the community from the 710 South, exit onto Rosecrans
Avenue and turn right. Turn right onto South Thorson Avenue; the sales
office will be on your left. The sales office is open every day from
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information about Edgemont or KB Home’s
