Builder Magazine Ranks Highland Homes in Top 100

Highland Homes was recently recognized by Builder Magazine as one of the nation’s top home builders. The central Florida home builder ranked 73rd on the magazine’s Top 100 builders list, moving up 11 spots from the 84th place on last year’s list.

The consistent rankings in the top 100 showcase Highland Homes commitment to quality and longevity.

Highland Homes’ most recent growth is in the Blackwater Creek community, located on Galloway Road just a half mile from Knights-Griffin in the Lakeland area. Highland Homes will build three-, four- and five-bedroom homes of 1,800 square feet and up in the gated community. With homes priced from the low to mid $100,000s, Blackwater Creek is convenient to Lakeland Square Mall and I-4, yet it offers a quiet, secluded atmosphere.

Highland Homes is also building in the nearby Stonewood community, and the Stonewood model will serve as the sales center for Blackwater Creek. The 2,400-square-foot Winston II floorplan, offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms, is representative of the homes available in Blackwater Creek.

Highland Homes is also expanding into its sixth Central Florida county, Manatee County, where they will build homes in South Oak in Ellenton. Located near the Ellenton Prime Outlets, South Oak will extend affordable options and Highland Homes’ signature quality and value to a new group of Florida new home buyers. The three- to five-bedroom homes, with up to almost 2,700 square feet, are priced from the $100,000s.
