Benefits of New Construction Homes

May 18, 2023

House hunting for pre-owned homes can be challenging, to say the least. Finding a property that meets all your needs can be exhausting, sometimes impossible. In order to get what you want, you may have to budget for expensive renovations. And even then, the home could still lack the modern amenities and features you've been dreaming about.

With a new construction home, you can say goodbye to outdated floor plans, cramped spaces, and those strange design features that make you wonder what the builder was thinking... 

By building your own home, you get to customize every square inch of your home so that it suits your lifestyle. Here are a few of the other advantages you can expect when you trust Overstreet Builders to craft your custom home in the Chicago suburbs.

Modern Designs for Modern Lifestyles

The biggest benefit of new construction homes is that you get to create a space built around your lifestyle. With Overstreet Builders, you start by choosing from over 20-floor plans that can be built on your lot in the Chicagoland area or in our signature neighborhoods.

These sprawling floor plans offer:

  • Spacious open layouts range from just under 2,000 square feet to over 4,400 square feet.
  • Flexible living spaces such as a first-floor master suite, home office, and media room.
  • Luxury features like high-end finishes and fixtures.
  • The option to upgrade and personalize to your heart's content!
Each floor plan is carefully designed to maximize comfort, functionality, and style — but again, it's just a starting point. With Overstreet Builders, you get to customize the design of your home from top to bottom. That's a luxury you just can't get with a pre-owned home.

Customization vs. Cookie-Cutter

Truthfully, not all home builders offer the same level of quality and customization. If you want to avoid a brand-new home that looks just like your neighbor's, you need to work with a home builder that offers a custom experience.

Overstreet builds luxury homes, and that means we don't take shortcuts. Our team will take the time to understand your unique needs and preferences and use these insights to guide the decision-making process from start to finish. Cookie-cutter isn't in our vocabulary.

Whether you want a handcrafted stone fireplace, a chef-inspired kitchen, or a luxurious master suite, we can do it all! 

Energy Efficiency & Low Maintenance Costs

Who doesn't want lower utility bills and a more sustainable lifestyle? With a new construction home, you can have both! We pride ourselves on incorporating the latest energy-efficient construction practices into every home we build. 

Here are just a few of the energy-efficient features you get with an Overstreet Builders home:

  • Low-E windows that reduce heat transfer and improve insulation.
  • High-performance HVAC systems for improved comfort and cost savings.
  • Energy Star appliances that are built to reduce energy consumption.
  • Plumbing fixtures designed to use less water and energy.
  • Construction materials that offer superior insulation and last longer.
  • Smart home technology that allows you to control and monitor your home's energy consumption.
These features not only reduce your utility expenses but also help keep maintenance costs low for years to come.

A Stress-Free Lifestyle

The quirks and maintenance issues that often come with older homes can make life stressful and more expensive than necessary. With a new construction home, you don't have to worry about that because everything is brand new and under warranty. That means when you move in you won't be hit with surprise repairs or unexpected expenses. You can focus on getting settled, rather than worrying about leaky pipes or faulty electrical systems.

Prime Locations with Resort-Style Amenities

The vibrant suburbs of Chicago offer you the best of both worlds — a peaceful, suburban lifestyle just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city. As we mentioned above, the choice is up to you when it comes to where you want to build in the Windy City. We offer a selection of established neighborhoods in desirable areas, or you can find your own lot and we'll work with you to make sure it meets all the zoning requirements.

We understand that location is a major factor for most families looking for a new home, which is why we go out of our way to choose the best areas for our signature neighborhoods. 

There are 3 stunning locations to choose from, Ashwood Park and Hidden Creek in Naperville and Highland Woods in Elgin. Each neighborhood has easy access to shopping, schools, parks, and fantastic amenities like:

  • Fitness centers and outdoor sports courts
  • Community clubhouses
  • Sparkling pools and splash pads for kids
  • Impeccably landscaped green spaces and walking trails
Building a new construction home is one of the best investments you can make for your family. And with our streamlined process, you can be sure that the experience is efficient, stress-free, and stays within your budget and moving timeline.
