Why build new in Lakeville?
Lakeville has the most new construction in the south metro, with builders especially active on the growing south side of the city. You'll find everything from master-planned amenity communities to wooded acreage lots, all with top-rated Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194, with some communities in District 196) and an easy I-35 commute. It's the widest, deepest new-construction market in the south metro.
Lakeville new construction communities and builders
Lakeville's new construction neighborhoods include Ritter Meadows (a 340-acre community with access to 8 miles of trails in Ritter Park and just minutes from Lake Marion and Casperson Park) and Pheasant Run (multiple semi-custom single-family builders). Other active builders include Robert Thomas Homes, Country Joe Homes, Homes By Tradition, Lennar, D.R. Horton, One Ten Ten, Keyland Homes, Pulte and many more with options spanning townhomes, move-up single-family, and custom builds.
Your Lakeville new construction agent
Because I've sat on the builder's side of these deals, I know how the contracts and upgrade pricing work. Many builders have their own proprietary contracts (not the standard state forms), so I'll review your purchase agreement with you, guide your selections toward choices that are easier to do in the initial build than after closing (as well as hold their value), recommend inspections, and keep you informed every step of the way.

You’re not required to but it’s highly recommended. The builder’s representative does not represent you. Having your own representation often costs you little to nothing and your own agent protects your interests.
