In Omaha, a good reputation travels fast. For Charleston Homes, it has been building for nearly 20 years.
The Omaha-based custom homebuilder has earned a People’s Choice honor in the Omaha’s Choice Awards, the Omaha World-Herald’s annual reader-driven program recognizing the regional businesses this city trusts most.
“We are Omaha’s builder. We are dedicated to building and sourcing both labor and materials locally. The majority of our associates have been with Charleston for more than 10 years and have long-established relationships with both the construction and real estate communities,” said Luke Ediger, director of sales.
Why Omaha families choose Charleston Homes for new construction
Charleston Homes has been building custom new homes across the Omaha metro since 2007, with communities in Falcon Pointe, Arbor View in Elkhorn and Highland Pointe in Gretna. The lineup spans ranch-style floor plans and two-story homes across a range of sizes and budgets. The idea behind all of it has never changed: a well-built home at a price that works for real life.
“Whether we are building in the $300s or the $600s, we provide the same building experience and attention to detail, regardless of the price point. Each and every buyer is important to Charleston Homes,” Ediger said.
What to expect when building a new home with Charleston Homes
Building from the ground up can be a daunting process. That is why Charleston Homes keeps model homes open across the region, where buyers can view finishes, explore floor plans and envision how a Charleston Home fits their lifestyle before they commit to anything. There is a real difference between reading an architectural rendering and standing in an actual kitchen.
The most common concerns buyers bring in tend to center on two things: budget and timing. Charleston Homes addresses both directly and honestly.
“When we write a purchase agreement, unless a buyer decides to make changes, the price is the price. We give the buyer a three-week closing window up front. At drywall stage we lock in the exact date, which doesn’t change,” Ediger said.
An Omaha homebuilder invested in the community, not just the sale
The company’s reputation was built up quietly, through buyers who had a good experience and mentioned it to someone getting ready to build. Nearly 20 years of that adds up. The commitment to Omaha runs deep.
“We believe it is important to give back to the Omaha community and actively do so in manners that are not always seen or recognized. We don’t do these things to boast, but do them as a part of what we all believe in,” Ediger said.
The People’s Choice honor reflects that investment. Not a campaign, not a contest entry — just Omaha residents asked which homebuilder they trusted, writing down the same name.
