Van Metre Homes Review
Van Metre Homes is a site-built home builder and community developer based in Northern Virginia. Van Metre Homes is part of a group of companies that operate under the “Van Metre”name. There are also branches of the company that handle land purchasing & selling, financing, apartment complexes (including property management), commercial buildings, and custom home design & construction.
Van Metre Homes specializes in developing communities of single family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, all of which are located in their Northern Virginia service area. Depending on the community, floor plans and styles can vary though most of their single family homes feature elements of modern farmhouse architecture. Additionally, many of their single family homes have spacious layouts with covered porches, multiple bedrooms, and 3,000 - 4,500+ square feet of living space.
Depending on the exact community and property, homes are sold fully finished. This means that buyers are purchasing both the land and the house from Van Metre Homes. The home includes fixtures, finishes, and appliances. For individuals on a tight timeline, you can even buy an “immediate delivery” home which is typically scheduled to be finished within the next 60 days.
For individuals looking to build a custom home (either as part of a Van Metre community or own their own property), you will likely work with Van Metre Design + Build. Their custom home arm handles all of the home design and planning for a one-off, custom home. Or for existing homeowners, Van Metre Design + Build also works on home remodel projects.
Strengths:
Have a range of in-house services ranging from community development, multi-family building, commercial building, and even one-off custom home building & remodeling
Sell move-in ready homes or can design a custom home from scratch
Reasons they might not be for you:
You are located outside of their Northern Virginia service area
You are looking for the ability to choose between a range of pre-existing floor plans rather than community-based homes
