More Livability. More Sustainability. More Value.

At Gentry Homes, we understand only some find their dream home in a traditional new home community.

Perhaps you're looking for:

  • Multiple acres in your rural oasis
  • A tear-down site in a mature neighborhood close to your place of work
  • A divided lot near your grandkids or aging parents

Dream homes and locations are as unique as the people who build them.
