About Us

WE ENRICH LIVES BY BUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM.

2010 marks the 25th anniversary of Meritage Homes. Since 1985, we’ve been designing and building innovative communities of new homes with unmatched pride, craftsmanship, dedication, and care. Our commitment to quality is apparent in the more than 65,000 homes that we’ve built. Based on the homes we’ve closed, their enduring value has helped us become the ninth largest homebuilder in the country.

Meritage has been named Texas Builder of the Year five times. We’ve also been recognized among Forbes’ Platinum 400 Best Big Companies of America and the Fortune 1000 Largest Corporations of America. So yes, our size and diversity speaks volumes about our strength and experience. But it’s our local approach that makes us different.
In every market, our dedicated employees are committed to building quality homes in great communities, providing the best possible experience for our customers. Our true success is measured by each new home we build and every family we serve.

A name with substance
What does “Meritage” mean? It’s a coined term combining merit and heritage. Merit speaks to our balance of design and value, attention to detail, and consideration for our customers’ home-buying experiences. Heritage represents our respect for integrity, lasting values, long-term relationships, and for home as the place where traditions are established and memories are made. Our name embodies our core purpose: to enrich lives by building the American dream.

Setting the green standard
As of January 1, 2010, Meritage Homes is the only large national builder to be Energy Star qualified in every home. We’ve been a green homebuilder for many years, but we now incorporate even more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly features in all the homes we build. That’s Meritage Green. As a standard, we include green elements that provide our buyers more value while respecting the planet’s resources at the same time.

Dream homes for every lifestyle
No matter what your dreams may be, we offer an exceptional selection of homes to help you fulfill them. Meritage Homes offers award-winning architectural design and exceptional value. Monterey Homes builds our finest luxury homes in prestigious locations. And our Active Adult Living communities are amenity-rich neighborhoods for those entering a new, exciting chapter of life. What’s your idea of living?

Right home, right place, right price
We continually improve our home designs to meet changing needs and lifestyles. And we’re selective about location, building only in communities that can enhance your quality of life. Combining local experience with national buying power, we deliver homes at an uncommon value. Compare us to others. We think you’ll agree that where style and value come together, Meritage Homes stands apart.

With 162 communities in 12 metropolitan areas across the U.S., we’re still growing. You can find our homes in Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Tucson, Las Vegas, Denver, Orlando, and the East Bay/Central Valley area and Inland Empire of California.
