About Us
About Us
For over 30 years, Arbor Homes has been a leading new home construction builder having built more than 21,000 new homes in Central Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Founded in 1994, President Curtis Rector started Arbor Homes with a commitment to build great neighborhoods and deliver quality homes at affordable prices, allowing families to celebrate life’s best moments.
In 2004, Arbor founded its sister company, Silverthorne Homes, to offer an alternative option for home buyers seeking an elevated, move-up home with high-end features. Arbor Homes joined Clayton Properties Group in 2018 to continue to make the dream of homeownership a reality by delivering quality homes at a great value.
Arbor Homes expanded its footprint by acquiring Louisville-based Elite Homes, opening the door to the Louisville and Southern Indiana markets. In 2021, Arbor continued its growth into Ohio, building in both the Columbus and Cincinnati/Dayton areas. The company also introduced two new strategic product lines—Destination, offering low-maintenance living, and Arrival, designed to provide an attainable path to homeownership for a broader range of buyers.
