KB Home announced the opening of Sandstone at Tule Springs’ first phase on September 4, 2026. The nearly 300-acre master-planned community will include more than 1,500 homes across four collections, making it KB Home’s largest new Southern Nevada project in a decade.

The starting price you’ll see advertised is “from the $300,000s.” That’s true, but it’s only part of the story.

Here’s what buyers should actually know about Sandstone North Las Vegas before heading out to tour the models.

What Is Sandstone at Tule Springs?

Sandstone is a new KB Home master-planned community within the larger Villages at Tule Springs area of North Las Vegas.

The community is near North 5th Street and the CC-215 Beltway, providing access to Interstate 15 and other parts of the Las Vegas Valley. It is also close to shopping and dining around Deer Springs, established communities such as Aliante, and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.

The full plan includes four residential collections:

  • Landings

  • Reserves

  • Meadows

  • Gardens

Landings and Reserves are open now. Meadows and Gardens are expected to open later.

What Do Homes in Sandstone Actually Cost?

This is where I would slow down before getting attached to the advertised “from the $300,000s” price.

Landings starts in the high $300,000s, with homes ranging from approximately 1,572 to 2,469 square feet. Reserves starts in the mid $400,000s, with larger homes ranging from approximately 1,644 to 3,066 square feet. Both collections offer floor plans with as many as five bedrooms.

The advertised starting price is real, but it represents the builder’s base price for the least-expensive available floor plan. It does not necessarily represent what most buyers will pay after making their selections.

A buyer’s final price can increase because of:

  • Homesite or lot premiums

  • Structural options

  • Design-center selections

  • Flooring, cabinets, countertops, and other finishes

  • Exterior elevation choices

  • Appliances

  • Backyard landscaping

  • Window coverings

  • HOA fees

  • Financing and closing costs

That is why I would never compare a new-construction base price directly with the asking price of a resale home without first breaking down what is included in each number.

Why Sandstone’s Pricing Is Interesting

According to Las Vegas REALTORS® housing data reported in September, the median price of an existing single-family home sold in Southern Nevada during August 2026 was $475,000.

That puts Sandstone’s advertised entry-level pricing below the broader Las Vegas Valley resale median.

That does not automatically make Sandstone the less-expensive option.

A resale home may already include landscaping, window coverings, appliances, upgraded flooring, ceiling fans, or a finished backyard. Those are items a new-construction buyer may have to purchase after closing.

What Sandstone does offer is another newer-home option for buyers who want to stay in North Las Vegas without immediately moving into a much higher price bracket.

Buyers can also compare Sandstone with current North Las Vegas homes for sale to see how the total new-construction cost stacks up against nearby resale properties.

What Amenities Are Planned at Sandstone?

Sandstone is planned to include more than 12 acres of parks, trails, and recreational space.

Planned amenities include:

  • Pickleball courts

  • Basketball courts

  • Playgrounds

  • A dog park

  • Ramadas

  • Barbecue and picnic areas

  • Horseshoe pits

  • Walking trails

  • Fitness stations

  • A trailhead connecting toward Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument

That is a stronger amenity package than many smaller North Las Vegas subdivisions offer.

However, Sandstone is still in its early stages. Buyers should ask which amenities are completed and available today, which are under construction, and which are planned for a future phase.

That is an important distinction in any new community. A planned amenity is not the same as one you can use immediately after moving in.

What Are the Homes Like?

The first phase includes two-story homes in Landings and a combination of one- and two-story homes in Reserves.

The floor plans feature many of the elements buyers currently expect from new construction, including:

  • Kitchens that open into the main living area

  • Contemporary floor plans

  • Larger primary suites

  • Walk-in closets

  • Additional storage

  • Energy-efficient construction

  • Opportunities to personalize finishes and upgrades

KB Home allows buyers to select many finishes through its design studio.

That customization is one of the biggest advantages of buying a home before it is completed. It is also one of the easiest ways to move significantly beyond the advertised starting price.

A home that begins in the high $300,000s can end up at a very different final price after adding the homesite, flooring, cabinets, countertops, electrical options, and structural changes.

What Should Buyers Compare Before Purchasing?

Do not compare Sandstone with other communities based only on starting prices or model-home appearances.

Compare the complete purchase:

  • Final purchase price

  • Homesite premium

  • Included standard features

  • Structural options

  • Design-center upgrades

  • HOA fees

  • Estimated property taxes

  • Landscaping costs

  • Appliance costs

  • Builder incentives

  • Financing incentives

  • Estimated completion date

  • Nearby resale competition

  • Future community development

Builder incentives can be worth real money, especially when they include closing-cost assistance or financing incentives.

However, an incentive should be evaluated as part of the complete transaction. A $20,000 incentive does not automatically make a home a better deal if the base price, homesite premium, or upgrades are already higher than comparable alternatives.

The interest rate, loan fees, purchase price, and total cash required at closing all need to be compared together.

New Construction vs. Resale in North Las Vegas

This is the larger decision buyers should make before deciding whether Sandstone is the right community.

New construction may offer:

  • Newer systems and appliances

  • Contemporary floor plans

  • Energy-efficient construction

  • Builder warranties

  • Personalization opportunities

  • Potentially lower maintenance during the first few years

  • Builder financing or closing-cost incentives

Resale homes may offer:

  • Established neighborhoods

  • Mature landscaping

  • Finished backyards

  • Existing window coverings and appliances

  • Upgrades that a previous owner already paid for

  • Potentially larger homesites

  • A clearer picture of the completed neighborhood

  • More negotiating flexibility, depending on the seller and market conditions

Neither option is automatically better.

The better choice depends on what you are receiving for the total price, how soon you need to move, which costs are included, and what matters most to you after closing.

Should You Bring Your Own Realtor to Sandstone?

Yes.

The builder’s sales representative works for the builder. Your real estate agent represents your interests.

That difference matters when comparing:

  • Homesites

  • Floor plans

  • Builder incentives

  • Upgrade costs

  • Financing options

  • Contract terms

  • Completion timelines

  • New construction against nearby resale homes

Something many buyers do not realize is that builder registration policies can vary by community.

If you want your own agent involved, contact that agent before your first visit to the sales office or model homes. Do not assume you can tour by yourself several times and add representation later. Depending on the builder’s registration policy, it may already be too late.

Is Sandstone Worth Considering?

For buyers searching for new homes in North Las Vegas, Sandstone is definitely worth considering.

It is adding more than 1,500 planned homes to the area, with an advertised entry point below the broader Las Vegas Valley resale median. It also gives buyers another option alongside established areas such as Tule Springs, Aliante, and other communities across the north valley.

But the real story is not simply that 1,500 homes are coming.

The real question is whether a particular Sandstone home, after including the homesite, upgrades, HOA, financing, landscaping, and other costs, provides better value than the alternatives available at the same time.

That answer will be different for every buyer.

Final Thoughts

Sandstone is one of the largest new developments North Las Vegas has seen in years, and its first communities are now open.

The most important question is not whether Sandstone “starts in the $300,000s.” It is what the home will actually cost after adding the homesite, upgrades, HOA fees, landscaping, financing, and everything else that affects the final number.

If you are considering Sandstone, Tule Springs, Aliante, or another North Las Vegas community, contact me before visiting the builder.

I can help you compare new construction with resale homes, evaluate the available incentives, review the complete cost, and make sure you understand what you are agreeing to before you make a decision.

Prices, floor plans, incentives, amenities, completion dates, and availability are subject to change. Buyers should confirm current information directly with me, their Realtor, or the builder before making a purchase decision.
