KB Home Reviews in San Diego, CA

The home buying experience was so easy and pleasant thanks to Malissa. She was available at all times an even responded on her days off! She went above and beyond to help out in any way, and reached out to her resources to assist as needed. Scott and team were excellent as well, very responsive to our concerns and quick to get items resolved. Very professional too.

I wish KB homes would include a single basin sink with goose neck faucet in the kitchen and quartz countertops to be included in all homes versus being an upgrade, otherwise all else is fine. The sales team & maintenance team on site are all great and very responsive to any requests.

The sales team was amazing and helped us every step of the way. There were a handful of quality issues, such as missing medicine cabinets and countertops having a rough residue on them. But overall, very happy with how things are getting resolved

The staff at park circle are superb. From Angelina to Jim the supervisor and when I had to escalate the quality issues Rudy the regional supervisor. Everyone has been wonderful. Unfortunately I’ve been in the house two months but only been able to live in the house full time less than three weeks due to several quality control issues. They are resolving and I would definitely recommend KB homes.

Great home buying experience. However since moving in m, I’ve noticed little kinks here and there.

Big furnitures and appliances can be difficult to set in place because of the 3 storey set up. The stack washer and dryer I bought is hefty in size and the room for it was challenging for the installation. The hookups are placed behind the stacked washer and dryer. It could have been easier if the hookups were placed on the side of the little room. If you will be doing the move yourself, have fun! It is doable of course. Other than that, my family and I love it here. It is a relaxing and comfortable place to be specially coming home from work.

Nicole was the highlight of our home buying experience. She put forth all the effort to ensure our family would be taken care of through the home buying process. Home quality is up to standard with only minor issues that have been getting resolved in a timely manner. I would recommend KB for new home buyers.

Very friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. It was great to have the piece of mind of an experience company building our first home.

The process was pretty good, fairly streamlined.

Some slight issues here and there after moving in but KB has been extremely responsive. Thanks to Thom, Dave, Jesus, and all the people at KB for a wonderful home.

So first time home owner on my own. They delivered the home a few weeks ahead of schedule, but all fixes that needed attention took weeks to correct. I did have quite a few issues, but when I reported it, managers took care of it right away and were pleasantly attentive. Definitely a value for any one purchasing with KB. I would recommend that upgrades be done after closing . Costs are quite high for what you get with their design center. Over all, very pleased with my choice to purchase here. This review is after 2 months of occupancy. Used KB to finance and homeowners insurance.

Only problem I had was there were alot of work debris left over from construction. But once addressed the issue was promptly taken care of. I was also not getting communication from the loan guy that was assigned to me. At first would not return calls until the next day or very later that day and would sometimes not know what to the answer was, even with simple questions. Def5did not have a great experience with that. (The current loan officer).

Over all, the customer service of Kb has been great. We have had a few issues moving in, but KB has been extremely responsive and has resolved everything in a timely matter.

Overall the process has been pretty good. The team delivered on a specific date that facilitated an out of state move which was critical. Even though Liberty and Cadence are both KB home developments, there appears to be an unofficial class system with Cadence appearing to have more benefits. The response to the final punch list appears to be a little delayed relative to earlier interactions with the team. May be due to availability of contractors and not related to KB management of the process.

Tentative to the customers needs throughout the building process and post move in requests.

Overall, the home was constructed well. That said, greater focus on small details would have made it better. One example is the placement of the water pipes underneath the master bath sink. The placement takes usable space away from the interior of the cabinet. On the positive side, Rory and CJ have been great in quickly responding to issues.

My husband and I felt our second home buying experience went smoothly with the exception of delays which at times couldn’t be helped. We enjoyed the sales office personnel and the ladies were both very helpful and prompt. The complaint that we have is that several things ( crooked drawers, crooked appliances, crooked fences) were installed poorly the first time then the tradesmen had to come back to install correctly a second time. A better eye for detail needs to be embraced so that there isn’t poor workmanship passed on to the owner and more work later for KBHomes.

It is a trusted builder to work with and they will do their best to help you move in and providing a very good customer services

The home buying experience is stressful time but they stayed on schedule the entire time and I closed earlier than expected. There was little choice of selection of finishes unless you wanted to upgrade….for the price they should have offered more options included in price. Just moved in so my issues are being taken care of slowly. Everyone has been courteous and helpful.

Nicole and Angelina helped us get through the buying process. They provided a lot of information, resources, and followed up consistently to make sure we got all the things we were asking for

Home looks beautiful. Staff is great and some things were out of their hands but the overall experience has been good.

We bought our house from KB Home in Valley Center, CA. I asked a sales rep not to rush closing the deal as I wanted to avoid any mistakes. She made us feel that we had no choice, but to buy one of "the last two" houses left, while a half of the community was still being built. Then she neglected to offer us to customize our house in their KB Studio. The house, which she offered was completely built out and we had no choice, but to agree to buy it as it was without any customization. The funny thing is that they are still showing and building those houses. Was she lying to us in the first place trying to close the deal by the end of the month? Had she completely ignored her customer's wishes? She could have offered us another house, which they were still building and let us customize it to our taste. After the deal was closed, we noticed that the house had not gutters installed. She told us that the gutters were the optional feature and should had been ordered at the KB studio before the house was sold. The problem was she never even mentioned their KB studio to us. What a catch 22 situation! :) As for the house, I think this a very solid house for its price. The quality is good, but if you want something better, just make sure you ask for KB Studio design session to be arranged. Otherwise, you will end up with the most inexpensive options. The rest of the team on site was quite responsive to our needs and requests, when we had a couple of small issues after we moved in. So, overall, it is a good house for its price, but we were robbed of the joy of buying our dream house by a KB sales rep. ... More

We found KB Cadence when it was a dirt lot. We were urged to put down our earnest deposit and sell our current home to secure a spot for the new home that would be complete in 6 months. Great! However, the 6 months turned into 1 year and 6 months. In that time I had to move three times because no one could provide an accurate completion date. So much so that we stopped getting an idea of when the house would be done altogether. Agonizing and displacing. It would have been nice to have clear, consistent and (at the very least) transparent communication/expectation setting with accurate lead times way before they started taking deposits (my neighbors all share the same sentiments). Once the home was done it was such a relief. However, I wouldn’t buy in this manner again. Sue and Rory were very kind and friendly through the whole process and understand they were put in a difficult spot. Overall the home and location are beautiful and we believe our home was built with quality materials. The neighborhood is wonderful and it feels like home. However, some of the design is poor - like having your neighbors A/C unit in your backyard and a landscape drain that doesn’t drain, rather it floods instead. ... More

I think new homes these days are never going to be great quality, just because of the rushed deadlines. The best you can hope for is a builder who takes accountability and will fix things (even if it does take a while).

Kb did a nice job on the house but three weeks later I still cannot get a few minor items repaired
