At Cornerstone Homes, we know that location and convenience is important to our homeowners. That’s why we pick the BEST locations to build our communities for you. Enhancing your lifestyle is our top priority!    

Every Cornerstone community is tucked away yet central and accessible to everything you want and places you need to frequent.   If you are like most people, you want convenience.   Well, we make sure you don’t have to drive far for important amenities such as grocery stores, shops, restaurants and outdoor recreation areas.  We like our small town atmosphere, but also like being close to larger cities to give a little more spice to your life. 

And finally, don't forget safety. Our communities are welcoming and safe places to be outdoors and commune with neighbors and close to top-notch health care if the need should arise.  It is the type of place where you want to live.

“We drove in here and I said -- 'this is it'. Literally drove in and I said ‘Sometimes it’s like college, you get this feeling like you walk on the campus and said this is it.”’  Roberta Zelenko, homeowner at Chickahominy Falls.
