Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in 1978, the company’s values, traditions, and mission have remained constant. The only thing that has changed is the builder’s growth across new markets and its lineup of innovative brands.
It has grown throughout the years from a local to a regional homebuilder to ultimately the country’s largest homebuilder. The builder has delivered more than 570,000 homes since opening its first community. D.R. Horton’s success stems from its diverse offerings, with operating divisions in 78 markets and in 26 states as well as selling homes under its other brand names, which include America’s Builder, Emerald Homes, Express Homes, Freedom Homes, and Pacific Ridge Homes.

Freedom Homes is the newest addition to the D.R. Horton family and will be available in popular retirement destinations like Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas.
Express Homes
Not only will these homes offer reasonably priced home designs, but the builder will also include unique amenities that retirees seek in active adult communities. Not only does D.R. Horton build homes for the 55-plus crowd, it also caters to first-time homebuyers. Its other popular brand, Express Homes, has garnered much success due to the brand’s value and quality home designs that offer plenty of customization options.’
New Construction Active Adult Communities
D.R. Horton is always looking for new sites to develop its brand for homebuyers and offer its latest home designs and amenities. Some of the new construction active adult communities by D.R.
