Why Buy New?

Imagine starting with a clean slate. When you buy new you can enjoy a clean, never-been-lived-in home, often for the same cost as a resale property. Select the community, homesite and floor plan that works for your lifestyle. Buying a new home also eliminates the cost and hassle that comes with remodeling. Richmond American allows you to select from hundreds of design options, from the backsplash tile to the door knobs. A professional design consultant is available to help you coordinate your choices throughout the home. Finally, new homes often come with a limited warranty to protect you against problems in the future.

Tips for Choosing a Homebuilder in Jacksonville

Selecting new homebuilders in Jacksonville (or anywhere in the country) is an important decision. Qualifications to look for include financial stability and a reliable track record. Another important factor to consider is the personalized options a builder offers. Many companies that advertise “options” really only offer a handful of stock cabinet, countertop and flooring choices. When researching new homebuilders, consider the following questions:

• Does the builder have a strong financial position?
• How long has the builder been in business?
• Are the neighborhoods developed to give each home a distinct look?
• Can you personalize your home with selections from hundreds of upgrades?
• Do they allow you to build from the ground up?

Choosing the Right Jacksonville Community for You

Finding the right community for your new home involves many factors. Start the process by creating a list of what features matter most to you. Do you prefer to be closer to downtown Jacksonville or the beach? Have you always dreamed of living in a golf course community? Are school districts your number one priority? Defining the community attributes that appeal most to you will help narrow down the choices.

Take the time to visit the communities or areas when you've narrowed down the options. Exploring nearby shopping, dining and outdoor access options can help you determine which neighborhood you would most like to call home. Richmond American builds new homes in many areas of Jacksonville, including the following counties:

• Nassau County
• Duval County
• Chantilly
• Clay County
• St. Johns County
