KB Home entered the Atlanta market by closing its first land purchase in the region, acquiring 110 homesites. The company plans to open its first Atlanta-area community, Whitley Meadows, in early 2027. The new Atlanta division will be overseen by Bill Schmidt, who joined KB Home in 2025 and will manage land acquisition, construction, sales, and customer service. Schmidt brings more than 35 years of homebuilding experience, including over 25 years in the Atlanta market. Whitley Meadows will be located in Bethlehem, Georgia, in Gwinnett County, offering single-family homes from 2,000 to 3,100 square feet. Amenities will include a pool, cabana, playground, and walking trails, with zoning to highly rated schools and access to State Route 316 and Interstate 85.
"KB Home has entered the Atlanta market and closed its first land purchase in the region, the homebuilder announced Thursday. The Los Angeles-based public builder said it has acquired 110 homesites and plans to open its first Atlanta-area community, Whitley Meadows, in early 2027. The move adds a top-five housing market to KB Home's footprint as large builders continue to chase population and job growth in the Southeast."
"Bill Schmidt, who joined KB Home in 2025 as division president, will oversee the new Atlanta division, including land acquisition, construction, sales and customer service. He has more than 35 years of homebuilding experience, including over 25 years working in the Atlanta market for national and local builders, according to the company announcement. KB Home said Schmidt has helped shape its Atlanta strategy and position the division for future growth since joining the company."
"Whitley Meadows, KB's first community under the Atlanta division, will consist of single-family homes in Bethlehem, Georgia, in Gwinnett County. Plans call for homes ranging from 2,000 to 3,100 square feet, with amenities including a pool, cabana, playground and walking trails. The community will be zoned to what the builder described as highly rated schools and will offer access to State Route 316 and Interstate 85 for commuters."
"Atlanta has been a focus market for public builders in recent years as buyers migrate from higher-cost metros and demand remains resilient for new homes. KB Home's entry adds another national operator to a field that already includes the likes of D.R. Horton, Lennar and PulteGroup. KB Home now operates in 49 markets and has built more than 700,000 homes in its nearly 70-year history."
