WHO
WE ARE

Building a home at this stage of life isn’t just a construction decision; it’s a deeply personal one. It’s about choosing a home that supports how you live today, while giving you confidence for what comes next.

At Community Home Builders, we create thoughtfully designed, single-level homes and intimate communities for people who value comfort, simplicity, and peace of mind. Every home we build reflects a careful balance of refined design, practical livability, and intentional detail so life feels easier, not more complicated. Living on your terms.

We are proud to partner with Epcon Communities, a nationally recognized leader in single-level living and the creator of the Signature Courtyard Home concept. Their proven approach to design centered around private outdoor courtyards, abundant natural light, and effortless indoor-outdoor living has set the standard for how active adults want to live today. Through this partnership, we bring Epcon’s time-tested designs and national expertise together with our local knowledge, craftsmanship, and personal attention.

Our approach is guided, not overwhelming. We listen closely, ask the right questions, and help you make confident decisions without pressure or excess. From early conversations through move-in day, our process is designed to feel clear, calm, and well-supported because you deserve to enjoy the journey as much as the home itself.

While our homes are crafted with precision and care, what truly defines us is how we build relationships. We believe trust is earned through transparency, communication, and follow-through. That’s why our clients feel informed, respected, and confident at every step.

We’re proud to be a boutique builder by design. It allows us to remain hands-on, attentive, and personally invested in every home and every homeowner. The result is not just a beautifully built home, but a place that feels considered, comfortable, and uniquely yours.
