By Home Furnishings Business in Case Goods on November 2008 Martha Stewart spent part of Sunday in La Quinta, Calif., where she has teamed with Los Angeles-based KB Home on a new housing development designed for adults 55 and over.

At an event for about 100 guests, including area residents, local politicians and media, Stewart, 67, judged a cupcake-decorating contest and talked about the new neighborhood that is set to open in the fall of 2009. It’s one of 11 communities that have been built or planned with KB Home. The development will be made up of one-story, ranch-style homes ranging in size from 1,300 square feet to 1,800 square feet in a gated community with an expansive clubhouse.

“I’m very excited about our newest Martha Stewart community with KB Home created especially for mature adults who lead active lives,” said Martha Stewart. “As in all of our communities, these homes will be affordable and beautifully designed with an eye to practical details. In addition, the clubhouse activities and meeting areas will help cultivate friendship and camaraderie among residents.”
