Community Profile

#1 Builder for Best Overall Customer Experience
2017-2018 & 2020!

Each Olson community starts with a simple question. How can we give homeowners the best quality of life possible? The answer starts with where we build. Committed to seeing the potential of the urban landscape, we re-entitle, rezone, and develop underutilized parcels, building energy-efficient homes that are close to jobs, key transportation links, and numerous recreational and entertainment options. Since most of our communities are in mature neighborhoods, they require minimal infrastructure, helping to keep construction costs low, taxes reasonable, and home prices attainable. Each Olson community name includes the word “walk” because our vision is for homeowners to be able to exit their front door and walk to shopping, restaurants, cafes, and schools, engaging with their neighbors and becoming part of the fabric of their cities.

Would have loved to have options to put organization in the closets. I purchased an upgrade for the furnace and don’t know if it was installed as I didn’t get any paperwork on the product that was installed

Overall [name removed] has been excellent, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the process allowing us to feel comfortable to reach out with questions and clarifications about the home. All requests thus far have been answered quickly with professional work completed by your sub-contractors. Only Excel has been somewhat disappointing from a communication stand point with their product thus far meeting expectations.

I loved my experience buying a home at HB Walk ! Karen was phenomenal from the moment I first came in to tour the models. She was friendly and inviting. Once I decided to purchase a home , she was always willing to help and always ensuring my experience buying a home was the best it could be. She pushed to let me pick my finished even though we were right at the deadline/past for a few items. She is so kind and really made the home buying process fun and enjoyable. Also Mike, who did the open wall walk through was amazing. The fact you believe so well in your craftsmanship that we can walk through and see how everything is being built is wonderful. Mike talked me through each aspect of the home and what everything he and his team were doing. I’ve never experienced having a construction manager taking time out of their busy day to walk a new home owner through their home and explaining piece by piece what everything was. This made me so confident in buying a home with HB Walk All and all my experience was amazing and I cannot say enough good things about the entire process.
