Between them and Lennar, they're probably the two largest builders in the US. You're not going to see a radical difference between them and Ryan Homes

ETA: HHHunt is not the largest builder. DR Horton is

Good to know. Thank you for confirming

I work in both Ryan and HH, but in the past it was more Ryan while I was in the Charlottesville area. I’ve been in thousands of Ryan homes and have seen all sorts of quality issues, ranging from fit and finish to major structural issues.

HH, I haven’t been in enough to make a decision either way, but the quality seems to be about on par with Ryan, maybe slightly better.

I wouldn’t purchase either if I were planning on staying in the home for more than a few years.

Uh what? Absolutely not. I'm a real estate agent who has been involved in a lot of new construction and Hunt is probably one of the best builders in the area especially for the price. I've been consistently impressed with the quality of their builds. I was so impressed we built our home with them. Drawing a comparison between them and Ryan is not accurate at all.

They also are not one of the largest builders in the US what the hell are you talking about

I'm an agent that have had quite a few people build with HHHunt over the years. They build a very very solid product especially for the price and I have been impressed with them on all of the builds my buyers went through as well as our own. We built with Hunt and live in River Mill. So if there is anyone more qualified to speak to your specific questions about their build quality in this particular neighborhood I can't think of who they might be.

HH Hunt is a good builder. Like all builders they have some annoying practices but in general they are a solid company. I had clients recently build with them in Hanover and Chesterfield and have shown their homes in Rivers Mill. I don’t want to bash any other builders specifically but they are far superior to some of the other builders mentioned in this thread.

We built with HH Hunt three years ago. Very satisfied for the price point. Honestly it'll depend on your project manager though. Ours was amazing and really took his job seriously. The couple minor issues we have had have been resolved quickly.

They’re wrong in regards to size, HHHunt is not a big national builder. They don’t even have a stock ticker. I can’t speak to quality comparisons.

I was gonna say...I've never heard a single person say they're one of the largest builders nationally. Pretty sure that belongs DR Horton and a few others.

Hhhunt was the 74th biggest home builder in us in 2019. Duno what this guy is talkin bout

Yeah you guys can downvote my answer. I was thinking of DR Horton

Howdy, potential new neighbor! We built with HHHunt in River Mill in 2019 and have had a great experience! I could tell you some horror stories about some of the other builders in this neighborhood, but HHunt was great and we love our home!

Thank you! Do you have kids in elementary or middle school and if so do you like the schools?

We do not, but there are tons of kids in the neighborhood. There’s a Facebook group called River Mill Homeowners where there are more qualified folks to speak about the school system.

That looks like a nice neighborhood. I like the amenities. Some of those houses were upwards of 900k in the fall which blew my mind, so I hope it’s solid builder.

Lots of other big neighborhoods have used that builder— Charter Colony, Rutland, etc.

I do feel like those kids would be the first on the chopping block for a future high school rezone, but I’m no expert.

It’s nice they built that back road. VCC area seems to be making a monumental shift in change of the development like the mall. For the good.

Do you mind sharing in what capacity you worked with those builders? Just depending on the area, may or may not be a top priority to OP.

Worked with them on the building side, not as a buyer. Pretty middle of the road for tract homes.

That's invite only and they verify whether or not you're either in the community or are under contract with a builder.

> Some of those houses were upwards of 900k in the fall which blew my mind, so I hope it’s solid builder.

Those are for Lifestyle/Legault/some other builder I can't remember the name of off that do million dollar homes. It's in a different section north of the main community.

Ah, ok. Makes sense. They do look nice.
