Story CountyCustom home builder in Huxley, Iowa
Huxley sits about halfway between Des Moines and Ames, which suits families splitting the difference on commutes.
Building in Huxley
Huxley, Slater and the Ballard district corridor attract clients who work in one metro and want to live closer to the other, or who simply want a smaller town with new construction available.
Story County ground here is largely agricultural and flat to gently rolling. Site work is usually predictable; the interesting questions are utilities, drainage tile, and whether the lot can support the lower level you want.
The drive up Highway 69 and I-35 makes this practical for builds we run out of the metro, and we do a steady share of work along this corridor.
What we handle for Huxley builds
- Lot review before you buy — grade, soils, drainage, setbacks and covenants
- Plans drawn to your site and any architectural review requirements
- A line-item budget with named allowances, not a per-square-foot guess
- Permits, inspections and the full Story County process
- Construction, finish work and a one-year workmanship warranty

Send us the address or the plat before you sign. A twenty-minute review of grade, drainage and covenants routinely saves five figures in site work — and tells you whether the walkout you want is even possible.
