About us
Welcome to Richmond American! We’re glad you’re here. If you’re shopping for a new construction home, you owe it to yourself to research your options and find your best fit. We’d like to tell you a little more about our companies, so you can feel good about choosing Richmond American as your builder. We would be honored to guide you on your journey to homeownership, as we have for homebuyers across the country since 1977.
Personalization: The big difference
The number one thing to know about the Richmond American companies is that we don’t believe in cookie-cutter homes. No two people or households are alike, and each home should reflect that uniqueness. When you build from the ground up, personalization is key to every part of the Richmond American experience, from the flooring to the faucets. With us, it’s personal™ is our tagline for a reason—it truly sets us apart!

Commitment to community
Giving back to the community was an important pillar of our company, even in the 70s. Founder Larry A. Mizel was quick to lend a hand to local youth, whether it be funding baseball team uniforms or helping young farmers and ranchers attend college.
Throughout the years, building stronger communities became just as important as building quality homes. In 1999, donations were taken to the next level with the formation of the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation. Since inception, the Foundation has given millions to organizations across the country and abroad.
