The two-story homes are priced from the $160,000s. Home shoppers have their choice of three floor plans with as many as five bedrooms, 2½ baths and two-car garages.

All KB homes in Glengarry have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star and NV Energy's Energy Plus certification. Features like programmable thermostats, radiant-barrier roof lining, low-emissivity windows and efficient heating and cooling systems help keep household utility bills low, according to company officials.

KB Home includes its energy performance guide in all of its new homes. Similar to a mpg sticker on cars, the epg provides homebuyers with estimated monthly electric and gas costs for their new home as designed.

From the Las Vegas Beltway south, exit Eastern Avenue heading south, pass Sunridge Heights Drive, turn right on Sun City Anthem Parkway, right on Bicentennial Parkway and then left on Anthem Highlands Drive to the sales center ahead on the right.
