Stanley Martin Homes
The Reston-based Mid-Atlantic regional builder known for energy efficiency and value.
Quality construction and energy savings at a value-conscious middle-market price point.
Who Is Stanley Martin Homes?
Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Stanley Martin Homes has built more than 16,500 homes across the Mid-Atlantic. This is not a national giant like Ryan Homes or Lennar, and it is not a luxury custom builder like Toll Brothers. It sits in the sweet spot in between: a regional builder with a strong reputation for energy-efficient construction, modern floor plans, and genuine value.
Stanley Martin was the first regional builder in the country designated a RESNET Energy Smart Builder, with homes averaging a HERS score near 60, meaning notably better energy efficiency than typical new construction. The company's SMart Selected program prices designer-curated finish packages upfront, so buyers know the full cost before they sign. Floor plans are designed for the Mid-Atlantic lifestyle, including multigenerational options.
