Lennar Enters Des Moines Market with the Start of Sales at Five New Communities

EmitenTrust.com DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, today announced its entry into the Des Moines market with the Start of Sales at five new communities across Central Iowa: Cross Creek, Deer Run, Southbridge, Spring Creek Ridge North and Woodbury. The launch marks Lennar's first-ever homebuilding operation in Iowa and introduces a new pathway to homeownership for Des Moines-area buyers, with three brand-new home designs priced from the $300,000s to the low $400,000s.

Model homes at all five communities open to the public in October 2026, with appointments currently available for prospective homebuyers. The five communities represent the foundation of Lennar's new Iowa division, which will continue to grow across the region.

"Des Moines is one of the most compelling housing markets in the country right now — a growing economy, a strong job base and families who want a quality new home at an attainable price point," said Seth Moulton, Division President of Lennar's Iowa Division. "Opening five communities at once says everything about how committed we are to this market. We're not dipping a toe in. We're here to build."

Spanning the Des Moines metro, the five communities give buyers a real choice of where to live, with five professionally decorated model homes showcasing three all-new Lennar home designs.

Each design offers an open-concept main level, a flexible layout built around how families actually live, and a range of exterior styles. Homes range from 1,592 to 2,262 square feet with three to four bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half bathrooms.

Every Lennar home in Des Moines is built with the company's signature Everything's Included® promise, where the features buyers want most come standard and are included in the price of the home. That approach is the heart of what Lennar will bring to Des Moines. The company's Iowa communities are designed to make homeownership accessible with move-in ready homes and floorplans built for real life and real budgets. For first-time buyers, it is a chance to find a home that fits their finances without compromising on quality.

Lennar Mortgage, the company's in-house lending division, has also entered the Des Moines-area market, offering buyers competitive financing alongside the homebuying process.
