In a region rich with history, few companies can say they’ve contributed to the landscape—literally and figuratively—for a full century. CarrHomes, a locally owned homebuilder, proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Founded in 1925 by Edward R. Carr, the Fairfax and Loudoun County homebuilder has been the recipient of multiple design and building awards by the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association

A Century of Trust and Innovation

Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, CarrHomes has built more than 10,000 homes, townhomes, and condominiums throughout the region. With a reputation grounded in craftsmanship, community, and customer satisfaction, they’ve earned a remarkable 99.3% homeowner recommendation rate—a rare feat in any industry, let alone homebuilding.

What sets CarrHomes apart is not just a legacy, but a consistent commitment to building homes that blend timeless architecture with modern lifestyles. Their portfolio spans a range of styles—from traditional Colonial to sleek Contemporary and Arts and Crafts-inspired models. Signature design features include steep-pitched roofs, hand-crafted brick and stone leadwalks, soaring 9-to-11-foot ceilings on every level, and elegant finishes that speak to both beauty and durability.

Built to Last. Built for the Future.

All their luxury homes are eco-friendly and energy-efficient, designed using sustainable materials that reduce environmental impact while enhancing comfort and performance. This forward-thinking approach ensures that while their homes may reflect a classic aesthetic, they’re also thoughtfully built for generations s to come.

Giving Back: A Commitment to Community

Over the past century, CarrHomes has remained a steadfast supporter of affordable housing throughout Northern Virginia. As an active participant in programs to house families in need, they’ve used their resources and expertise to make a lasting difference beyond the neighborhoods they develop.

Local Roots. Enduring Legacy.

As one of the very few locally owned homebuilders to have thrived in the same community since 1925, CarrHomes stands as a testament to staying power, trust, and quality. Their story is one of innovation grounded in tradition, of homes designed not just to impress, but to welcome, endure, and inspire.
