About Heritage Harbor
Heritage Harbor Homes is a premier builder located exclusively at Heritage Harbor, offering both spec homes and fully custom builds tailored to your lifestyle. Known for standout design, a smooth process, and personalized guidance, they help bring Harbor living to life from the ground up.
Tom Heimsoth is the driving force behind the development of Heritage Harbor. After a successful career as a software entrepreneur, he sought a new challenge. Tom often enjoyed visiting many of the premier resort destinations found in the Midwest. Having lived in the area his whole life, Tom recognized that Chicago area residents had a very limited selection of options for “getting away”.
Southwest Michigan, Wisconsin, and Galena were all becoming increasingly more inaccessible and congested. At the crossing of two rivers and less than 90 minutes from downtown Chicago, Tom saw a historic Illinois town located in an area with the unparalleled natural beauty of Starved Rock Country in a community where life was a lot like it used to be.
He envisioned a place where families and friends could come together to make lasting memories. He saw the magnificent waterfront parcel that would soon become the finest resort community in the Midwest.
"Easy-to-access, beautiful and restful!"

Testimonials
We live in a community. It’s very friendly, open, relaxing and enjoyable. It’s not a lake home and it’s not a cottage. You really have to come experience what it’s all about.
The Morse family
One thing that I really love is that everything that we could possibly need is on the main floor. All the other bedrooms and downstairs are for family and friends to come visit.
Harry & Ann
Through summer, we’re here every weekend. Off season, we’re here at least once a month. We like to eat at the local restaurants, and the kids love the ice cream shop in town.
The Rusteburg Family
The amenities, river, boat club, hiking trails, bike paths and the outdoor living... this was the perfect fit for us. The one thing I noticed immediately was the nature.
The Clancy family
