"We purchased our Lancaster Home at Candlelight Place two years ago, and we love it. We love our neighbors and can't recommend Lancaster Homes and the Candlelight Place neighborhood enough."

"I recently built a home with Lancaster and closed on it in April. They were easy and fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process from start to finish. The house is beautiful, the neighborhood is peaceful and pretty, and the neighbors are a very social and diverse group. I truly felt like I was finally coming home. " - Leslie

"I just wanted to send a giant thank you to you and your wife for getting me in the Town Home in Kemah. I am so glad I made that call a couple months ago and ya’ll worked with me on the price. Beyond that you have been first class and above and beyond during the whole process touching things up, the carpet and lastly the garage door opener, too many things to list but I very very much appreciate it all. I love the place and how you did the whole community up." - Michael L.

"We purchased a spec house through Lancaster Homes about 5 months ago. We couldn't be happier about the decision, which is mainly attributed to the Franz family. They have been so helpful in the process. You can tell that it is more than just a business transaction to them. They truly care about the work they do and strive to make their customers happy. Here are some examples of their great service: Chris has stood by his product and fixed any small needed repairs that we found after moving in. You can always count on a timely response to any questions or concerns. We had a small emergency not long after moving in and my husband was unavailable. I called Chris in the middle of dinner with his family and he came running. In my moment of panic, that meant the world to me! Chris even took the time to recommend some contractors for a project my parents wanted to complete at their house; and of course, of all the contractors my parents interviewed the one that Chris recommended gave the best service and had a more thorough scope of work than all the rest. That gives me peace of mind that those are the type of contractors that worked on my house. I also love the added value of the Energy Star building specs. Even in the middle of the Houston summer we have not had an electric bill over $100. I think many other builders are accommodating until closing/move-in, but then after the deal is done are more worried about servicing the next potential buyer. That is not the case here; they are trying to build a community, not just sell houses. Candlelight Place is quiet and off the beaten path even though it is in the middle town. After moving from the Galleria area, we were shocked at how much quieter it is. The neighbors are also very friendly – coupled with the lack of vehicle traffic, it allows the neighbors to be out with their families in the evening and you actually get to know your neighbors. It has really taken a lot stress out of a hectic process knowing that we have had the blessing of working with honest business people building a quality product." - Cara & Chris K.

"We closed on our Lancaster Home in Candlelight Place in February and couldn't be happier. Lancaster was great to work with from the very beginning to build exactly the house that we were looking for. This was our first time building a house, and Lancaster walked us through each step with patience and valuable advice. In the end, we got a beautiful, well-built, and very energy efficient house with all of the custom features that we wanted. More importantly, we ended up in one of the best neighborhoods in Houston. Candlelight place is very conveniently located, and downtown is 15 minutes away. The neighborhood is zoned to an excellent elementary school (Oak Forest), and because it is tucked away, it is safe for kids to play in the street and front yards. We also love our neighbors, who have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome. We got exactly the neighborhood we were looking for without having to move far out into the suburbs. Long story short, we can't recommend Lancaster Homes and the Candlelight Place neighborhood enough. Pros: Builder is very easy to work with, extremely trustworthy and stands by their word, maintains great and prompt communication, uses quality materials and good building practices, and offers excellent guidance as needed throughout the building process. Neighborhood is safe, convenient, welcoming, and zoned to a great elementary school. Cons: None " - Tom

"I recently built a home with Lancaster and closed on it in April. They were easy and fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process from start to finish. The house is beautiful, the neighborhood is peaceful and pretty, and the neighbors are a very social and diverse group. I truly felt like I was finally coming home. Pros: The house was appropriately priced. The Lancaster team kept me constantly informed and helped me make decisions when I had no idea what to do. I don't think you can beat the kind of service they provide. Cons: I can't think of a single downside to building with Lancaster." - Leslie

"We purchased our Lancaster Home at Candlelight Place two years ago, and we love it. First, the builder was great to work with. Second, we have a spacious, energy efficient home that has everything we want (including a back yard). Third, the neighborhood is filled with fun and friendly people. Fourth, we are zoned for Oak Forest Elementary school, which is a top rated school. Finally, we feel safe here. Unlike our previous neighborhood (the Heights) we are not worried about leaving our car parked outside and we feel comfortable taking walks in the evening. I work downtown and I didn't want to move out to the suburbs where I would have an hour long commute, but I didn't want to stay in the Heights because we had our cars broken into 3 times in under 1 year. So I was happy to find Candlelight Place. The neighborhood feels like a safe suburb but my commute to work is less than 25 minutes during rush hour! Pros:Reasonable price, quality building craftsmanshihp, friendly neighborhood, short commute, good schools, close to a nice parke, large grocery store down the road." - Georgianna
