D.R. Horton is building with affordable active adult living in mind

D.R. Horton, Inc. is rolling out a new type of home that's meant for active adults seeking affordable living.

Freedom Homes is a new brand that's initially rolling out in Florida, Texas and Arizona.

“We are excited to offer Freedom Homes as an affordable alternative for active adults seeking a carefree low-maintenance lifestyle in an age-restricted community," said chairman Donald Horton. "We strive to be the leading builder in each of our operating markets across our broad geographic footprint, and the addition of Freedom Homes to our diverse family of brands will allow us to continue to expand our industry-leading market share.”

D.R. Horton expects to have Freedom Homes communities open in at least 8 markets by the end of fiscal 2016 and in approximately one-third of D.R. Horton’s 78 operating markets by the end of fiscal 2017.
