Be a good neighbor.
We believe in being good neighbors so much we made it the name of the company. For us, this phrase goes far beyond the ‘cup of sugar’ you might associate with being a good neighbor. This ethos is at the heart of everything we do and everyone we work with.
OUR STORY
Good Neighbor Homes
It starts when a love for people and community meets an unexpected renovation project. From that simple and unusual beginning, Good Neighbor Homes has grown into the successful development & property management company it is today.
The development work is rooted in urban design and planning while the management group is people-focused and fills a niche of quality service at a great price.
