Where You Live

Southern Oregon is suddenly getting the attention it has always deserved—its unsurpassed natural beauty, endless outdoor recreation, and small-town heritage is coming into its own. If you’ve been dreaming of a home in the ‘Heart of the Rogue’, Adair has a plan for you! We are actively building custom homes throughout Southern Oregon, and yours could be next.

Have you visited Puget Sound lately? It’s an area with unparalleled potential. A new tech haven for remote workers—close enough for a quick trip into Seattle, but just far enough away to replace views of buildings with the bright green of pine trees and lush garden plantings. The communities surrounding Seattle offer a host of benefits—from an array of after-work amenities to the reduced cost of living. Consider that within thirty minutes of Seattle, your lifestyle could be up to 30% less expensive than living in Seattle, and 60% less expensive than living in Palo Alto!

Adair Homes is proud to present over twenty new floor plans exclusive to our Eastern Idaho customers. These homes have been expertly designed to accommodate the needs, wants, and desires of our customers building in the Eastern Idaho region. Living close to the grader of the Tetons, National Parks, and world-renown fly fishing calls for homes with exacting features. Each of these new plans include optional basements and four exteriors to choose from.

If you’re building your new home in Southern Oregon, you’re looking forward to some good things. Some very good things.

Whether you are looking to spend more time in nature, advance your career, or start a family (or even a combination of all three!), Washington state is one of the best places in the country to consider living.

It touts several opportunities for outdoor recreation, incredibly beautiful scenery, and bodies of water all over the state. There are also ample employment opportunities, both in some of the major cities in the state and in the smaller towns. Statewide, residents have a strong local focus in their support of farmers markets and mom-and-pop shops. 

Washington is also very invested in its education systems and environmental stewardship. In fact, it is continuously named one of the greenest states with one of the best education systems in the country.

In addition to these many benefits, there’s one more: Central Washington has plenty of land to build on. So, if you are interested in breaking ground in Central Washington but aren’t quite sure where you would like to settle down, here are the top four cities you should consider.

The Mid Columbia Valley is a magical place to live. Full of meandering walking trails through lush greenery, picturesque waterfalls, and opportunities for year round outdoor recreation—it’s clear why they’ve dubbed this area the Pacific Northwest Wonderland. It’s well worth a pinch just to know it’s real. Clearly, living here isn’t the question. The question is: which Adair Homes plan should you choose to build?

From the most northern town of Astoria to the most southern area of Brookings-Harbor, the entire Oregon coast is filled with beautiful sights of the ocean and diverse landscapes. It’s no wonder why more than a million tourists visit the 363-mile stretch every year! 

Visiting the coastal towns provides endless opportunities for relaxation, yet deciding on the best place to build your forever home takes some consideration. Oregon is becoming one of the most popular states to live in for current residents interested in escaping the city as well as those relocating out of state—and there are plenty of good reasons.

In this blog post, we discuss the best towns to build your home along the coast of Oregon. By the time you are finished reading, we hope you have a better understanding of which town you would like to live in.

The East Valley of Arizona is perfect for those interested in building a custom home in the larger urban setting of Tempe or in one of the city’s many quieter suburbs. Either way, the East Valley provides access for those interested in all the excitement of a city as well as the beauty of the outdoors, which Arizona has a lot of.

Southern Arizona boasts a variety of living experiences, including eclectic downtowns, outdoor adventures, a thriving arts scene, world-renowned colleges and universities, and more. Families, singles, and retirees alike can benefit from the various locations and year-round warm temperatures from nearly 300 days of sunshine a year. 

Whether you’re moving to the area to begin a new job in a big city such as Tucson or interested in the quieter suburbs in the surrounding area, southern Arizona has a lot to offer. While the following list is not exhaustive, some of the best suburbs include: 

• Green Valley
• Dove Mountain 
• Catalina Foothills
• Sahuarita
• Oro Valley

These suburbs are close enough to enjoy all that Tucson’s urban living offers: the culture, food, and energy. But they are removed enough to avoid the undesirable aspects, such as traffic, busyness, and student life at the University of Arizona. 

If you’re in the market to build a new home, these suburbs have a lot to offer in terms of property settings. To help you decide where you would like to settle, let's take a closer look at some of the best areas to find land in southern Arizona.

The north valley of Arizona is equally perfect for those interested in building a home in the big city of Phoenix or in a quieter, more serene location near Tonto National Forest. The north valley is a beautiful, rapidly growing region of the state and is often referred to as the Valley of the Sun due to the warm temperatures and 300 days of sunshine per year. 

Whether you’re moving to the area to begin a new job in Phoenix’s thriving metropolis, start a business in one of the smaller villages, or enjoy your retirement years in the warm, sunny climate, the north valley is a unique region of the country that has a lot to offer. 

While the area does not have an official separate status, the north valley typically refers to the urban villages north of Phoenix, which include Paradise Valley, North Mountain, Deer Valley, Desert View, and North Gateway. If you’re in the market to build a new home, these villages have a lot to offer in terms of property settings. 

To help you decide, let's take a closer look at some of the best areas to find land in the north valley of Arizona.
