What Is Sandstone, KB Home's New Community in North Las Vegas?
North Las Vegas keeps landing big new-construction news, and the latest is KB Home's largest local project in ten years. Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the builder opened its Sandstone community for sale this month, with plans for more than 1,500 homes on land it picked up in late 2024. If you're weighing new construction versus resale in North Las Vegas, here's what's actually happening.
What is Sandstone, and where is it located?
Sandstone is KB Home's newest master-planned community, situated north of the 215 Beltway-North Fifth Street interchange in North Las Vegas. The site spans nearly 300 acres -- property records show KB acquired more than 200 acres of it for about $91 million in late 2024, according to prior Review-Journal reporting.
How much do homes in Sandstone start at?
The first phase is open for sale with prices starting in the $300,000-range. KB's Las Vegas division president, Jim McDade, described the project as an opportunity for attainable homeownership in a highly desirable setting.
What's planned for the community?
Plans call for more than 1,500 homes -- a mix of one- and two-story single-family houses and two-story townhouses -- plus parks, trails, and basketball and pickleball courts. KB has called Sandstone its largest Southern Nevada project in a decade.

Sandstone is arriving at an interesting moment for Southern Nevada builders. Across the valley, the median purchase price of a newly built home was around $535,000 in July, according to Home Builders Research. Builders logged 735 net new home sales that month -- up 28% from June, but still down 7% from July 2025. Through July, builders had closed 4,750 home sales for the year, down 20% from the same stretch in 2025, and pulled 4,776 permits, down 25%. So Sandstone represents a sizable bet on North Las Vegas even as overall new-home activity has cooled from last year's pace.
Is new construction in North Las Vegas worth considering right now?
When North Las Vegas buyers ask us about new-build communities like this one, the first questions are almost always the same: how does the base price compare to a similar resale home nearby, and how long will it actually take from contract to closing. New-construction timelines can run several months longer than a resale purchase, which matters if you're on a tight moving deadline. We also walk buyers through builder incentives, lot premiums, and HOA structure before they sign, since those line items can move the real all-in price well past the advertised starting number. For buyers working with a tighter budget, we also looked at whether you can still buy a home under $400K in North Las Vegas.
