About Handler Homes

Founded in 1975, Handler Homes is a family-owned Delaware company known for building quality homes with integrity for over 5 decades!

At Handler Homes, we believe buying a new home should feel personal.

As a privately owned Delaware homebuilder, we combine the experience and resources of an established builder with the flexibility, responsiveness and personal attention of a local company. Our focus is simple: create thoughtfully planned communities, build homes people are proud to own, and provide a homebuying experience that feels approachable from the first visit through move-in.

We build a variety of homes for different stages of life, including single-family homes, townhomes, first-floor living designs and active-adult communities. Whether you are purchasing your first home, looking for more space, simplifying your lifestyle or planning your next chapter, Handler Homes offers communities and floor plans designed around the way people live today.

Because we focus on a select number of communities, we are able to stay closely involved in every neighborhood we build. From the initial community plan and streetscape to the homes, amenities and open spaces, we pay attention to the details that help turn a new development into a place that truly feels like home.

Our buyers enjoy the advantages of proven home designs along with opportunities to personalize their new home through available options, finishes and selections. We also offer quick move-in homes for buyers who are ready to make their move sooner.

As a local builder, our reputation is built right here in Delaware. Our team understands the communities we serve, the lifestyles of our buyers and the importance of standing behind the homes we build. Decisions are made locally, and our customers work with people who are personally invested in delivering a positive experience.

At Handler Homes, we offer something different from the large national builders: the confidence of an experienced homebuilder with the personal attention and local commitment of a company that calls Delaware home.

Locally built. Thoughtfully designed. Personally yours.
