We just love it here and couldn’t be happier!  Our only regret is that we didn’t move here sooner!  This community is filled with wonderful people who want to keep busy, have fun and make new friends. What’s not to love?
Gary and Linda AdkinsTownhomes at Redbrook

“

Location, a beautiful neighborhood situated among the trees and plenty of access to local trails for walking, Abundant space between homes affording privacy and enhanced by homes placement on the lot. Whitman left plenty of native vegetation and kept the woodsy feel to the site.
Chuck & Cindy GillisStanding Rock at The Pinehills

“

Our Whitman home here in The Pinehills was built with superior craftmanship and integrity, and we enjoy it every day from the glorious sunlight peeking in with 20+ windows, top notch building materials, and a home with a thoughtful layout design.
Andrea & David SmithThe Townhomes at Symington Woods at The Pinehills

“

After touring the Pinehills and meeting the Whitman Homes people, we decided without hesitation to build again. It was the right decision! The communication with all members of the Whitman Homes team kept us fully informed and aware of what had been done in our building project and what decisions we needed to make in the selections process. The home, now complete, is exactly how we envisioned and rather that being a stressful experience was a successful experience!

We have previously built a custom home. Working with Whitman Homes has been the best experience for us. We built while living internationally. It was a pleasure working with the Whitman staff. The personal service and attention to detail made this process exceptional.
Bob and Pat ChamberlainPlymouth, MA

“

Whitman Homes offered us the opportunity to build a custom home designed by architect Bart O’Brien. The staff is professional and always looking for ways to help with decisions. Whitman Homes accommodated our numerous change orders with ease while maintaining a remarkable attention to detail in our home. Our expectation were exceeded. We built a home and friendship with Whitman Homes. Thanks Again!
