Bryan County — anchored by Richmond Hill — sits 20 minutes south of Savannah on the way to Ft. Stewart (see Fort Stewart). It’s a tighter market than the other three counties I cover (smaller footprint, less new construction inventory), but the Richmond Hill school district consistently ranks among the strongest in coastal Georgia, and the military commute plus Hyundai Metaplant access have driven steady demand here.
DR Horton Communities in Richmond Hill
Notably, DR Horton is entering Bryan County for the first time with one community in development:
- The Harbor — Richmond Hill. Coming Soon. DR Horton’s first Bryan County community. Tradition Series product line. Pricing, floor plans, and square footage not yet published. Amenity package includes a community pool, pavilion, pickleball courts, sidewalks, and the standard Home Is Connected smart home technology. Richmond Hill Elementary (PK-5), Richmond Hill Middle, and Richmond Hill High School all under 5 miles from the community address at 259 Port Royal Road.
For context, “Coming Soon” means the sales office isn’t yet active — but if you’re seriously considering Bryan County new construction, joining the early-interest list is the right move. Pre-launch inventory typically gets first pricing and the broadest lot selection. Send me a message if you want to be added when sales open.
America’s Home Place: Build On Your Lot in Bryan County
Bryan County still has real land to build on, and America’s Home Place specializes in exactly that: a custom home built on your own lot instead of inside a subdivision. If you own or are buying acreage around Richmond Hill, Pembroke, or Ellabell, this is the build-on-your-lot path. See how the process works on my America’s Home Place build-on-your-lot hub.
- Richmond Hill – build a custom home on your lot in and around Richmond Hill.
- Pembroke – custom homes on acreage in the Pembroke area of north Bryan County.
- Ellabell – build on rural Ellabell lots near the I-16 corridor.
Landmark 24 in the Richmond Hill Area
Landmark 24 is a Coastal Georgia production builder concentrated in the West Chatham and Pooler corridor just north of Bryan County. If your Richmond Hill search has you open to that corridor, or you are comparing production builders across the metro, my Landmark 24 builder hub lists every community they currently have active.
What Makes Bryan County and Richmond Hill Different
- Ft. Stewart proximity. Richmond Hill is the closest community to Ft. Stewart with a developed school system and retail base. For active-duty and military families, this matters — and it makes VA loans the dominant financing path here. Confirm VA eligibility per community at contract.
- Richmond Hill schools. Bryan County School District (Bryan County Government) consistently ranks among the top public school systems in coastal Georgia. The three Richmond Hill zone schools (Elementary, Middle, High) are a core part of the resale demand pattern.
- Smaller market, tighter inventory. Bryan County doesn’t have the multi-builder saturation of Chatham or Effingham. Fewer choices, but also less price-cutting volatility and more durable property values long-term.

Working With Me On a Richmond Hill New Build
By contrast, this is the same as any new construction purchase — contract review, lot premium analysis, phase walkthroughs, deficiency list, and warranty advocacy cost you nothing because builder commissions are baked into the price. For military buyers specifically, I work with VA-experienced lenders who close Coastal Georgia new construction every month.
