Building a new construction home in Ohio has evolved from a premium choice into a strategic financial move. For the first time in decades, the price gap between new and existing homes is narrowing, and in some high-demand Ohio markets, a new build is actually more affordable than a comparable resale home.
Explore our diverse range of new home designs in Ohio, featuring the Focus, Heritage, Americana, Presidential Series, and Modern Townhomes. From more affordable entry-level to larger square footage homes, every Maronda home is meticulously crafted to meet your family’s unique needs in Ohio’s fastest-growing communities.
Our most elemental home series. Looking for an affordable entry point into the Ohio housing market? The Focus Series offers modern, single-family homes in both single-story and two-story layouts. By excluding basements, we keep these homes the most cost-effective option for first-time buyers.
Our most standard home series. The Heritage Series provides reliable, high-quality construction for Ohio families. Similar to the Focus Series, these one- and two-story homes are built without basements to maximize affordability while maintaining Maronda’s strict craftsmanship standards. It’s the perfect balance of “standard” features and modern architectural design.
Our most popular home series. A favorite for families moving to the “Silicon Heartland,” the Americana Series offers a significant step up in space and versatility.
Basement Advantage: All Americana homes in our Northern Ohio Divisions feature a standard unfinished basement, complete with rough-ins for future upgrades or self-renovations.
Flexible Layouts: Choose from spacious one- or two-story floor plans with a larger footprint than our Heritage series, designed to grow with your family.
The pinnacle of our home series. For those seeking the highest value and premium features, the Presidential Series represents the best of Ohio real estate. These elite homes offer:
High-End Specs: Two- to three-story layouts with 9-foot ceilings, decorative crown molding, and staggered kitchen cabinets.
Master Suite Retreat: Enjoy a spa-like soaking tub and upgraded baseboards.
Curb Appeal: Premium exterior options including brick-to-grade rear elevations.
The Presidential Name: Spotted easily on our site, these plans are named after past U.S. Presidents (e.g., The Washington, The Truman).
Looking for low-maintenance living without sacrificing space? We offer innovative townhome designs in select Ohio communities like Reynoldsburg and Columbus. Typically part of our Heritage or Americana series, these townhomes offer:
Spacious Layouts: Two-car garages, multiple bedrooms, and open-concept floor plans.
Hassle-Free Living: Perfect for busy professionals or those looking to downsize while maintaining the elegance and sophistication of a single-family home.
Finding your dream new home starts with understanding your options. At Maronda Homes, we believe in providing a clear, transparent look at the starting prices for our base model homes in Ohio. These prices are a great starting point for your budget, providing a foundation from which you can customize your future home with the features and finishes that matter most to you and your family. We build a variety of homes designed for families, retirees, and first-time buyers who want modern living at a price point that works for them. In our Ohio communities, we have homes starting from the upper $200k’s.
Maronda Homes has developments with new construction homes in Columbus, and new construction homes in Cincinnati.
The “starting-at” price is the base cost of a specific home model before any upgrades, lot premiums, or optional features are added. It includes the standard floorplan, our quality construction materials, and the included features that come with every Maronda home. This price is an essential first step in planning your budget and helps you compare our homes to others in the Ohio market.
When comparing builders in Pittsburgh, looking at the base model starting price helps you:
• Understand the entry-level investment for each floor plan.
• Compare options across different neighborhoods.
• Decide which homes fit your budget and lifestyle needs.
• Get a clear picture before exploring upgrades and customizations.
In a surprising market twist, yes, in many cases. Current builder incentives (like mortgage rate buydowns and special interest rates) often make the monthly payments on a new build lower than those on an existing home. Additionally, median resale prices in hot markets like Columbus and Marysville have spiked due to bidding wars, while new build prices have stabilized with more predictable “locked-in” costs.

Ohio offers unique regional incentives that most other states lack:
With the Intel semiconductor plant in Licking County now a major driver of the state’s economy, property values in a 30-mile radius (Pataskala, New Albany, Sunbury) are appreciating rapidly. Building a new home in these high-growth corridors allows you to capture immediate equity.
You are building for today’s reality, not 1985’s:
It take approximately 6 – 12 months to build your new home in Ohio with Maronda Homes. Just like pricing and tax rates, build times also vary per region and community. Variables such as the community’s development or homesite status, the permitting process, or even the weather play a role in the construction timeframe. Please note general time frames vary per community and depend on city utilities, permitting, and septic. For any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to an online sales rep.
