New construction homes in Sacramento
Your own representation when you buy a brand-new home, from choosing the builder to negotiating incentives to the final walkthrough.
New construction in Sacramento: what you get
New construction homes in Sacramento are concentrated in two places. In North Natomas, near Interstate 5 and about 15 minutes from Sacramento International Airport, Lennar is building several neighborhoods at Northlake. In Delta Shores, in the south of the city near Interstate 5, DR Horton, KB Home and Signature Homes are building next to a large shopping center.
Both give you a brand-new home inside city limits, with a shorter drive downtown than most suburbs.
