A new builder has joined both The Village of Providence and the Village at Oakland Springs Builders Guild. Ford Classic Homes offers architectural distinction and quality workmanship to every client. The company has been in the home building business for over two decades and, during that time, has built their reputation on commitment to excellence while providing an exceptional home building experience. According to Vice President of Development, Andrew Ford, expanding from Tennessee into the Village developments in Alabama made perfect sense. “Huntsville and Madison are dynamic cities offering buyers great opportunities for job growth, schools, and family life. After visiting the Villages, we saw not just a neighborhood, but a chance to help be part of growing this community and lifestyle.” Sales manager Chesney Ford agrees. “We know that people are drawn to these communities for reasons beyond a new home. They’re drawn to the amenities, the walkability, and having places nearby for social gatherings. That lifestyle aspect is what people are looking for.” Chesney notes that, since 2020, home buyers tend to
spend more time at home so, while people may have wanted a smaller home prior to the pandemic, today’s home buyer tends to want space to spread out. “Expect to see homes that offer defined spaces in addition to large gathering areas. Having room for a defined office space for adults still working from home or a designated study space for children is now a priority. We’re also seeing customers who are finishing out previously unfinished expansion spaces in order to spend more time at home,” says Chesney. “Our goal is to create functional, well thought out plans for every family.” Ford Classic Homes has now broken ground in the Village at Oakland Springs. “While Ford Classic Homes may be new to Alabama,” points out Andrew, “home buyers can rest assured they’re working with experienced builders. We’ve been building luxury homes in Tennessee for over twenty-five years with a strong focus on quality and professionalism.” Bringing with them both in-house architecture and interior design teams, Andrew states “We work to ensure a positive building experience and excellent customer service for every buyer.”
