KB Home Launches Townsend Development in Santee

Located at the intersection of Mission Gorge Road and Aubrey Glen Drive, the development offers three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layouts. The site plan includes communal open spaces, picnic areas, and a playground, positioning the neighborhood within reach of both the urban amenities of downtown San Diego and the recreational trails of Mission Trails Regional Park.

Steve Ruffner, regional general manager of the company’s Coastal division, noted that the project emphasizes individual customization. Buyers can select interior finishes and floor plans at the company's design studio, a strategy intended to minimize costs by allowing residents to opt out of features they do not value. Beyond aesthetics, the construction prioritizes resilience; every unit is ENERGY STAR certified and built to meet the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety’s highest wildfire mitigation standards, including fire-resistant roofing and noncombustible exterior materials.
