Put Down Roots in One of Northeast Ohio’s Most Livable Corners

As the 20th largest county in Ohio, Portage County has a population of over 164,000 and blends natural beauty and community spirit. Residents describe the area as having a friendly, small-town vibe with access to modern conveniences.

The Estates at Marsh Landing
If you'd love a custom home without the work of finding your own lot, The Estates at Marsh Landing may be the answer. Located in Brimfield, right here in Portage County, Marsh Landing is a thoughtfully planned neighborhood where you can build a Hostetler custom home in an established community with easy access to Route 76, Kent State University, and everything Akron and the county seat of Ravenna have to offer.
Build On Your Lot
Already own land in Portage County or have your eye on a parcel? Our On Your Lot program specializes in scattered-site building throughout Stark, Summit, Portage, Medina, and the surrounding areas. We'll walk your property with you, talk through what's possible, and design a home suited to your site—whether it's a wooded acre in Nelson Township or a rural spread in Palmyra.
A Family Builder, Three Generations Strong
We don't build cookie-cutter houses. Every home is designed around the family who will live in it, and every project is guided by five values we've held for decades. That approach has earned us Home Builder of the Year honors (2014, 2016, 2018) and repeat House of the Year awards from the Building Association of Stark & East Central Ohio.
Customer Focus
Decades of experience guiding you toward the best decisions for your home.
Open & Honest Communication
A builder you trust who keeps you in the loop during the entire home building process, from first meeting to move-in.
Accountability
We build your home as if we were building it for our own family.
“The best builder around! They customize your house to make it your own. No cookie-cutter houses. Easy to work with and very attentive to every detail!”
