About This Community
Contemporary design is defined by clean lines, open spaces, natural light, and materials chosen to feel just as beautiful years from now as they do on move-in day. Destination Homes brings those elements together with thoughtful details throughout each home, creating spaces that feel refined, comfortable, and easy to live in.
In the kitchen, quartz or granite countertops pair with JennAir appliances, generous cabinetry, and functional storage designed around everyday life. Owner’s suites feature fully tiled showers with frameless glass, while Pella Impervia windows bring natural light into open living spaces throughout the home. From carefully selected finishes to the way rooms connect and flow, each detail contributes to a cohesive contemporary home. Destination Homes offers a variety of contemporary floor plans, homesites, and homes already underway, giving buyers multiple ways to find a home that fits their lifestyle and timeline.

Homeowner Stories
Our forever home is a masterpiece of taste and elegance. Destination Homes took our dreams and made them a reality! Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. The team listened to our needs and made sure everything was perfect and it certainly shows in the pride of craftsmanship. The elegant touches throughout from the hidden pantry to the live edge counter on the basement island are a testament to their thoughtful craftsmanship and design. We couldn't love our home more.
If you are looking for a builder that delivers excellence, quality and integrity, look no further than the team at Destination Homes. You will not be disappointed.

GREAT BUILDER!!!
We just completed our new home with Destination Homes. The entire process was great. DJ is very hands on. The communication was great and he was quick to answer any questions that we had. Building our house for the first time seemed a little overwhelming but DJ walked us through everything and helped us with selecting interior and exterior finishes. I have been in construction for 15+ years and the finishes Destination Homes uses are above and beyond.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Destination Homes!!

Jumped into our first “Forever Home” with Destination. DJ with Destination Homes was awesome and was even pointing out things he wanted to address at the final walk through. The simple things like recessed from the floor cabinets, ball bearing door hinges, and islands with cabinets and storage on both sides were upgrades built into the price that made this house extra special. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision.
