Build in a Custom Home Community or On Your Own Lot:
Which Option Is Right for You?

One of the first decisions you'll make when building a custom home is choosing where to build. Some homeowners prefer the convenience and amenities of a planned community, while others want the flexibility and privacy of building on their own land. Both options offer unique advantages, and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, priorities, and long-term goals.

Consideration Custom Home Community Custom Home on Your Own Lot
Location Build within an established neighborhood designed for new homes. Build on land you already own or purchase independently.
Community Amenities May include walking trails, green spaces, parks, or other neighborhood amenities. Amenities depend on the property and surrounding area.
Homesite Readiness Utilities, roads, and infrastructure are often already in place. Site preparation, utility connections, and land development may be required.
Neighborhood Environment Consistent streetscapes and a connected community feel. Greater flexibility in surroundings, lot size, and property setting.
Privacy Varies by community and lot configuration. Often provides more privacy and distance from neighboring homes.
Design Flexibility Customization opportunities may be available within community guidelines. Greater flexibility to design around the property's unique features and layout.
Building Process Typically more streamlined thanks to pre-approved homesites and established infrastructure. Additional planning may be needed for site evaluation, permits, and land development.
Convenience Often located near schools, shopping, healthcare, and major transportation routes. Convenience depends on the location you choose.
Outdoor Living Opportunities Outdoor spaces are designed to complement the homesite and community layout. Outdoor living areas can be tailored to maximize acreage, views, and natural surroundings.
Best Fit For Buyers seeking a balance of customization, convenience, and community living. Buyers prioritizing privacy, location flexibility, and a more personalized homesite.

Gerber Homes Reviews

We are very happy with our new home. Quality workmanship and Gerber was very easy to work with. We bought the model home and requested the basement to be partially finished. Gerber worked very hard to get the work done before we closed. 

-Stephen C., Rochester, NY

My husband and I just built our home with Gerber. We did our research on the builders in the area and no one compared to what Gerber had to offer. Leanne and Danille were available for anything and everything we needed throughout the entire process and after our house was completed. We would have been lost without the constant communication with the two of them on what needed to be completed during the entire process. Any question we had it did not matter the time of day they got right back to us. Thank you Gerber for our beautiful home but most importantly thank you to my main two ladies Leanne and Danille for all your hard work throughout the entire process. We appreciate the two of you!
