Build with Robert Thomas Homes
Robert Thomas Homes builds exceptional homes in beautiful communities.
Beautiful communities where you want to live.
Our neighborhoods across the Twin Cities are designed to preserve the beauty of nature, where trails weave through green spaces and water features abound. Tree-lined sidewalks encourage front-porch living, and our communities often feature community pools, exercise facilities, and places to gather with your neighbors.
There is a reason, well several actually, why Robert Thomas wins awards. The communities they build are unlike any other and they are great at what they do!

We strive to create beautiful and comfortable spaces. Our collections of home plans are tailored to a variety of lifestyles, lot sizes, and budgets.

Yards are professionally landscaped and include automatic irrigation systems, and all our exteriors feature architecturally-detailed siding and trim on all four sides of the home.
Many of our plans are available with optional features including bonus rooms, resource centers, drop zones, sunrooms and screen porches. All options are pre-priced to provide the best value to our clients. Even an indoor sport court can be incorporated into several of our home plans, in case you want to be the hub of activity in your new neighborhood. Available premium upgrades include home automation, audio, and security packages.

Robert Thomas Homes is a Designated Green Path builder, which means that every Robert Thomas home is built with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. Many of those innovations are hidden beneath the siding and drywall of our homes, and that’s why all our homes are independently tested and rated by a third-party professional trained in advanced building sciences.
Homes tested receive a Home Performance Report detailing the energy saving features included and are scored using the Home Energy Rating System (HERS). The lower the score, the more efficient the home.
