About Highland Homes

Highland Homes was founded in 1985 by brother and sister team Rod Sanders and Jean Ann Brock. With Rod’s keen business knowledge and Jean Ann’s innovative approach to sales, marketing and architecture, 13 homes were sold in the first month of operation during one of the toughest real estate markets the nation has seen to date. Highland quickly grew to become one of the leading single-family homebuilders in the United States. Today, we build over 3,500 homes a year in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas. Rod and Jean Ann’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has earned Highland many industry awards, including consistent high rankings by J.D. Power and Associates, winning the People’s Choice Builder of the Year award ten times and winning several architectural design awards. Though these accolades are wonderful, our top honor comes through repeat customers and referrals from homeowners and real estate professionals across Texas. At Highland, we consider our talented team of associates an extension of our family, and were ranked #6 by Texas Monthly’s 50 Best Companies to Work for in Texas, as well as a certified Best Place to Work. Today, Highland Homes is 100% employee-owned and still dedicated to providing the best possible homebuilding and home-buying experience. You can be certain that Highland Homes remains committed to our mission statement of “delivering homes we are proud of” and ensuring each Highland homeowner realizes their American Dream.

We’re currently renting a home in Conroe, Texas, and have really come to appreciate its white painted brick, high ceilings, and open floor plan. As we began searching for our retirement home in the Texas Hill Country, we visited Lakeside at Tessera and toured a model home. From the moment we walked in, we loved the views and instantly felt at home. When we learned the model was for sale, it felt like the perfect opportunity—and we decided to purchase it. Interestingly, we later discovered that our rental home is also a Highland home with a very similar floor plan. That connection made us ...
