Perry Homes is one of the most recognizable builders in Legacy by Hillwood — but name recognition alone doesn’t tell the full story.
If you’re considering building or buying a Perry Homes new construction home in Legacy, this guide walks through what buyers should actually understand before signing a contract — from floor plans and build quality to timing, pricing, and where buyers can get caught off guard.
I regularly walk homes at the framing and pre-drywall stage in Legacy, including Perry Homes, to help buyers understand how their home is really built — not just how the model looks.
Perry Homes in Legacy by Hillwood – Overview
Perry Homes offers a range of one- and two-story floor plans in Legacy by Hillwood, typically known for:
- Larger footprints
- Brick exteriors
- Traditional layouts with modern finishes
- Strong brand presence in Texas
Legacy is a master-planned community, which means Perry Homes must follow architectural and design guidelines set by Hillwood — this helps keep the neighborhood cohesive, but also impacts timelines and options.
Floor Plans & Layouts Buyers Ask About
While floor plan availability changes, Perry Homes in Legacy often attracts buyers looking for:
- Open living areas
- Dedicated home offices
- Larger kitchens with oversized islands
- First-floor primary suites (in many plans)
Important: What you see in a model does not automatically come standard. Structural options, ceiling heights, and electrical layouts should always be reviewed carefully.
What Buyers Often Miss with Perry Homes
This is where experience matters.
Some common things buyers don’t realize:
- Certain upgrades are easier (and cheaper) before drywall
- Electrical and low-voltage planning matters early
- Lot orientation affects heat, light, and backyard usability
- Inventory homes may skip steps buyers assume were done
This is why I walk Perry Homes during construction, not just at completion.
Inventory vs Build-to-Order with Perry Homes
Depending on timing, buyers in Legacy may choose:
- Build-to-order (more choices, longer timeline)
- Inventory homes (faster, fewer changes)
Inventory homes can be a great option — if you understand what was already decided before drywall and what cannot be changed.
I help buyers evaluate inventory homes by walking the structure and reviewing what’s behind the walls, not just finishes.
How Perry Homes Fits into the Legacy Community
Legacy by Hillwood is known for:
- Trails and green spaces
- Amenity centers
- Proximity to League City, Friendswood, and I-45
- Multiple builders at different price points
Perry Homes is often compared to builders like David Weekley, Coventry, and Highland within Legacy — each with different strengths depending on buyer priorities.
