When purchasing a home, new construction is the way to go. Lowder New Homes has been a sought-after home builder in Central and Eastern Alabama for almost 70 years. Here, our team talks about why we’ve been listed among the top homebuilders in the country by Builder Magazine and the National Home Builders Association. We also discuss why Alabama is a wonderful place to live and the benefits of buying one of our new construction homes.

Experienced Home Builders With a Trusted Reputation

In 1956, our founder, Ed Lowder, had a vision to build quality houses and communities people would be proud to call home. Over the last 70 years, we have earned a reputation for community building, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction. Today, our team of professional home builders remains committed to our founder’s original vision. This dedication and steadfast urge for quality, beauty, comfort, and lasting value has contributed to our success.

We build stunning homes in desirable neighborhoods, and our homes use products and materials from top names in the industry to withstand the test of time. Additionally, every home we build undergoes an independent third-party inspection, as we want our houses to meet the highest safety and quality standards. With our written warranties, full-service Warranty Department, and 24-hour response line, you’ll get the best possible service, even after you buy your home.

The lasting durability and beauty of our homes make them a joy-filled place for generations. It’s these reasons that 100% of our customers gave us 5/5 stars and recommended us to their friends and family in 2023. It’s also what led Builder Magazine and the National Association of Homebuilders to recognize us as one of the Top 100 Builders in the United States.

Why Alabama Is a Great Place to Live

As a local and family-owned company, we understand how important it is to find the right place for your family to live. We know buying new real estate can be overwhelming, especially in a new city or state. However, there are many reasons Alabama is a great state to call home.

White Sandy Beaches

Alabama has around 60 miles of beautiful beaches and views along its Southern border with the Gulf of Mexico. These beaches provide a relaxing place to hike, kayak, camp, or fish. Living in Alabama gives you easy access to a tropical oasis.

Affordable Cost of Living

In Alabama, the median sale price of homes is $290,400. It also has a lower average cost of living than most other states. You’ll spend less money on groceries, utilities, and transportation, giving you more money to invest in your career, family, and other goals.

Picturesque Landscapes

Alabama is more than just white sandy beaches. It’s also full of mountain ranges, coastlines, farmlands, and charming towns. A simple afternoon drive in the fall allows you to experience the color-changing leaves, soaring mountaintops, and beautiful valleys.

Sunny Weather All-Year Round

On average, Alabama has 213 days of sun a year. With mild winters and warm summers, you can enjoy outdoor activities almost every day.

Sports

If you love sports, you’ll love Alabama! College football is huge here. From the Crimson Tide to the Auburn Tigers, we cheer on our favorite teams year-round.

Growing Job Market

Industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and aerospace are booming. Cities like Huntsville and other manufacturing towns provide numerous job opportunities. Statewide, companies are increasing their production of aerospace components, cars, and other goods.

Southern Hospitality

Alabama is known for its warm community and welcoming atmosphere. Local events and neighborhood gatherings are staples. You’ll find friendly residents in every corner of our state.

Benefits of Choosing Our New Construction Homes

Life in Alabama wouldn’t be complete without a new home that has the customizations you want. While we are one of the largest homebuilders in Alabama, we also tailor the homebuying and building experience to each of our customers. We offer more floor plan options and customizable features than other builders. Our team will even help you choose the best floor plan for your new construction home.

Choosing a newly constructed home offers several benefits over older homes, such as:

A Sense of Newness 

A brand-new home means brand new everything—appliances, lights, wiring, flooring. Anything and everything inside your home is in pristine condition. You’ll be the first one to walk through the door, and your house will be a blank slate that you can work on making one-of-a-kind.

Low Maintenance

Because everything is brand new in your home, you won’t have any immediate projects or expensive repairs. Instead of spending time and money on leaky roofs and old carpets, you can focus on friends, and family and getting to know the neighborhood.

Energy Efficiency 

At Lowder New Homes, we integrate energy efficiency and environmental friendliness into all our homes. We surpass standard building codes to reduce your utility costs and conserve energy. Our energy-efficient solutions include:

  • High-density exterior wall insulation and fiberglass attic insulation
  • Energy Star® heating and cooling systems
