1976David Weekley Homes designs, builds, and sells new-construction single-family homes and townhomes directly to homebuyers across the United States.
In 2026 David Weekley Homes announced it would begin building four one-story floor plans with basement options in the Echo master-planned community in Erda, Utah, and it prepared to break ground on 129 homesites at Copper Ridge, priced from the low $700,000s, and 61 homesites at Trailmark, priced from the mid $800,000s, inside the 5,300-acre, $1 billion Saddleback community in Peoria, Arizona. It also opened Meadow Brook Farms, an 82-home community on more than 100 acres in north Forsyth County, Georgia, while its age-qualified Encore brand continued adding 55-plus communities in Florida.
The company states it has always avoided heavy land accumulation, citing minimal land exposure, sizable equity, untapped credit lines and a privately held structure free of short-term earnings pressure as buffers through industry cycles. Its 50th-anniversary messaging emphasizes continued people-first growth across its 19 markets.
The company was the first builder in the United States to be awarded the Triple Crown of American Home Building, comprising America's Best Builder, the National Housing Quality Award and National Builder of the Year, and it has earned more than 1,550 awards including more than 880 for product design. It holds a 4.8-out-of-5 independently certified customer rating, and the company reports that more than 90% of customers would recommend it to family and friends.
The builder assigns each homebuyer a Personal Builder with up to four scheduled meetings through construction, supported by New Home Advisors, Design Consultants and post-closing Warranty Service Representatives. Its workplace culture has been recognized 20 times on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list, ranking No. 14 in 2026, and employee ownership through an ESOP was introduced in 2018.
At Saddleback in Peoria, Arizona, David Weekley Homes priced its 129-homesite Copper Ridge collection from the low $700,000s and its 61-homesite Trailmark collection from the mid $800,000s in 2026, indicating community-level, collection-based pricing typical of production homebuilding rather than a national price list. Its site markets Quick Move-in Homes alongside build-to-order homes across 19 markets.
The builder runs an annual National Preferred Partner Survey through which team members rate field and manufacturing partners on quality and customer service, with 117 companies evaluated and 23% designated in 2026, tying supplier performance to its design, choice and service brand promise. Buyers personalize homes through Custom Choices structural options and scheduled Design Consultant selection meetings, separating base pricing from upgrades in the buying process.
