High volume, a walking trail, and a low published HOA.
Kira Heights is a D.R. Horton Tradition Series℠ community in Waynesboro built around modern floor plans, a picturesque walking trail, and a straightforward amenity story—not a full recreation campus.
Jake keeps it for the combination of published price band, move-in-ready volume, and roughly $25/month HOA figures appearing on active listings. Confirm every number live.

A little history—and what's happening now
A little context for the place you're considering.
How Kira Heights took shape Read the story +
- Builder
A D.R. Horton Tradition Series community
Kira Heights is marketed by D.R. Horton in Waynesboro with Tradition Series℠ plans. Plan names, included features, and incentives belong to the builder and can change.
- Amenities
A trail-first recreation story
Builder and listing marketing consistently highlight a walking / nature trail. No pool or clubhouse has been verified for this guide. Association amenity lists on some listings simply say Trails.
- HOA
A low published dues figure
Active listing examples show about $25 per month HOA. Confirm what dues cover, any special assessments, and the current budget before treating that figure as fixed.
- Inventory
High move-in-ready volume
Third-party indexes recently showed a large quick-move-in count alongside to-be-built options. Volume is not a guarantee that a particular home remains available.
Published base-price ranges have recently appeared around $392,990–$455,790 on NewHomeSource (viewed November 2026). Options and premiums can push totals higher.
Walk the trail yourself and confirm guest rules, lighting, and any unfinished segments.
Downtown Waynesboro and the South River corridor are nearby city destinations for dining and recreation beyond the trail.
Summercrest Avenue and city access
Sales context is 564 Summercrest Avenue, Waynesboro 22980. Use the sales-office map pin, then walk the trail and streets under construction or already delivered.
Downtown Waynesboro and the South River corridor are nearby city destinations, not on-site HOA facilities beyond the trail.
Dated price bands—not a live inventory feed
NewHomeSource recently showed Kira Heights base prices around $392,990–$455,790 (viewed November 2026), with a large quick-move-in count. An August 18, 2026 third-party scrape showed roughly $392,990–$452,990.
Those ranges describe published base pricing at different moments. Options, lot premiums, and incentives can move a buyer above or below any band. They are not valuations.

Ask Jake for current homes. This page does not invent listings. He can pull active builder and MLS options with clear attribution and help compare Kira Heights with Creekwood Village and Evershire.
Walking trail—and honesty about what else is missing
Builder marketing and listing amenity fields consistently highlight a walking / nature trail. No pool or clubhouse has been verified for this guide.
When buyers want a fuller recreation package or a wider product mix, Jake often compares Creekwood Village's townhome-to-single-family range—or points to downtown Waynesboro and regional trails—rather than inventing amenities Kira Heights does not claim.
Photos are Waynesboro river / downtown context. No clearly licensed Kira Heights street photographs were found. The hero is the South River in downtown Waynesboro; the gallery includes downtown Main Street and a USFWS South River photo—captioned as city and regional context, not Kira Heights streets or the community trail.

Waynesboro City schools—confirm the address

City streets, downtown, and the interstate network
