Village Homes

What Village Homes does

Village Homes is a privately held custom homebuilder founded in 1996 in Fort Worth, Texas by Michael Dike and Jim Harris. The company designs and constructs single-family homes and townhomes inspired by pre-World War II architecture, serving individual retail homebuyers in the Greater Fort Worth / west Tarrant County market across multiple master-planned communities including Walsh, The Lakes at Parks of Aledo, The River District, Trinity Grove, and TCU Colonial Park. Village Homes generates revenue through one-time sales of newly constructed residential properties, with stated prices ranging from approximately $440,000 to $1.49 million, and reports having built more than 1,500 homes since inception.

The business operates on a project-based B2C model: homes are designed and built to buyer specifications, marketed through on-site model homes, and distributed in part via realtor partnerships. The company employs between 11 and 50 people, indicative of a small regional builder rather than a national production homebuilder. As of October 2025, the company announced its intent to file for Chapter 11 reorganization following the failure of a 2024 contract to sell 100 lots and related intellectual property, signaling near-term financial and operational stress despite continued community and product investment.
