Homebuyer Spotlight—The Westfalls’ Riverside Homebuilders Journey

May 1, 2024

With a trusted DFW builder like Riverside Homebuilders by your side, the journey to your new home is made easy. From the moment you walk through our doors, you get to experience what it feels like to be a part of the Riverside family and enjoy a laid-back, exciting new home process—and our incredible homeowners, Patricia and James Westfall, are a phenomenal testament to this philosophy. Their journey with Riverside Homebuilders spans across not just one—but three homes, each showcasing our unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Read below to hear from this amazing couple and discover the Riverside Homebuilders difference, from our unparalleled new homes in DFW to our one-of-a-kind homebuying process.

From Justiss Farms to Midway Ridge to Hillcrest North

The journey of Patricia and James Westfall with Riverside Homebuilders began in Justiss Farms, where the promise of exceptional quality and craftsmanship beckoned. “We were looking for a home and just happened to come across the homes in Justiss Farms,” Patricia recalls. “We spoke to the Community Sales Manager, Clint, and he was the one that showed us a home in the Leonard area and we both loved the home and the fantastic features it came with.”

Their encounter with Clint and the Riverside team marked the beginning of a seamless and rewarding homebuying experience. From the initial conversation to exploring the intricacies of their new home, Patricia and James found themselves captivated by Riverside’s dedication to delivering not just houses—but homes built with meticulous attention to detail and one-of-a-kind quality.

After their new home in Justiss Farms, Patricia and James fell in love with a second Riverside Homebuilders home and made their move to Midway Ridge in Ponder, TX—followed by their third Riverside Homebuilders home in Hillcrest Meadows North in Decatur, TX. “The craftsmanship and the floorplans that are offered in Hillcrest Meadows North are second to none. Plus, the lot size is great and the fact that there is no HOA is wonderful,” Patricia explains. “In all of our Riverside homes, though, we love our Knotty Alder cabinets, the crown molding, the upgraded fixtures and the open floor plans combined with the timeless style of the homes. The openness of the homes brings a warm family setting to us—and the master being separate from the guest rooms is a huge benefit. For times when we work from home, it’s great that there is an office area so that a bedroom doesn’t have to be converted into an office. Not to mention the scratch-resistant flooring—especially with dogs!”

At Riverside Homebuilders, we leave no stone unturned with our new home designs. We make it our mission to create much more than structures to call home–but spaces where families can thrive and create lasting memories, and we’re beyond thrilled that Patricia and James have felt that in all of their Riverside Homebuilders homes throughout DFW.

“When we have had family come and stay with us, we always have plenty of room for children and adults to be able to enjoy the space and be able to be outside and host get-togethers—from barbecues and Easter egg hunts to birthday parties with a water slide,” Patricia says. “We also love having room for the dogs to run and play—there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy and so many memories that we’ll cherish forever in our Riverside homes.”

Experience the Riverside difference

For Patricia and James and all of our remarkable homeowners, Riverside Homebuilders embodies the epitome of exceptional service and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Their journey with Riverside has been marked by moments of delight and satisfaction, from the first home to the third. “Purchasing has been a breeze with the preferred lenders,” Patricia remarks. “The building of the homes and the communication has been fabulous! The weekly updates and pictures are a few of the many things that make Riverside Homebuilders stand out to us. Additionally, you will never find any builder that will spend more time looking for issues or potential problems. Riverside is always looking for ways to make improvements as each subdivision is built to improve the overall quality of the home and land. All of their homes are truly quality-built with a custom feel—without the custom home price.” 

As the Westfalls reflect on their Riverside journey, one sentiment rings true—our team at Riverside Homebuilders builds so much more than just new homes in DFW; we build sanctuaries where families thrive and memories are made. “Overall, Riverside Homebuilders’ homes are the best homes on the market, and the space provides quality family time and memorable moments,” Patricia concludes.

At Riverside Homebuilders, we take pride in crafting homes that exceed expectations and foster lasting happiness.
