Stockyard ranks as DR Horton’s lowest-priced community in their entire 12-community Coastal Georgia footprint — Express Series, mixed townhomes and single-family homes, starting at $249,990. If you shop the lowest possible entry point for new construction within reasonable distance of the Savannah metro and the Hyundai Metaplant, Stockyard sets the math floor.
Stockyard at a Glance
Status: Now Selling. The community lists 23 active homes from $249,990 — the lowest starting price in Horton’s Coastal Georgia footprint, period. Express Series product line. 8 floor plans, 1,473+ square feet. Mixed product type: both townhomes and single-family homes in the same community. Location: Statesboro, Bulloch County, with Statesboro STEAM Academy 1.5 miles, Statesboro High School 2.3 miles, and William James Middle School 2.5 miles (Bulloch County Schools).
Inside DR Horton’s Express Series Build
The Express Series spec here delivers Horton’s entry tier: open-concept floor plans, shaker cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring in main living areas, and the Home Is Connected smart home package. The differentiator runs through the price band itself — at $249,990 starting, this community prices meaningfully below anything available in Chatham, Effingham, or Bryan County new construction. DR Horton holds the #1 American Homebuilder rank since 2002 (Builder Magazine).
Schools, Commute, and the Hyundai Math Around Stockyard
The community zones for Statesboro STEAM Academy (1.5 miles), Statesboro High School (2.3 miles), and William James Middle School (2.5 miles). For commute, the math here ranks as the differentiator: Georgia Southern University (GSU) sits about 4 miles, downtown Statesboro runs roughly 2 miles, and the Hyundai Metaplant in Bryan County hits about 30-35 minutes via I-16. Hyundai workers who don’t want to live in Chatham or Effingham increasingly target Bulloch County as the value alternative (Statesboro Census QuickFacts).
Who the Entry-Price Tier Fits
The fit lands on first-time buyers, Georgia Southern faculty and staff, Hyundai Metaplant workers willing to commute, military relocations into the area, and investors looking at new construction townhomes as a Statesboro rental product. The Georgia Southern student rental market creates a parallel demand stream that doesn’t exist as strongly in the other three counties. The mixed townhome and single-family product type lets buyers shop their monthly payment first and then pick the format.
How It Compares to Other Statesboro Horton Options
Across Horton’s four Bulloch communities, this one holds the lowest entry price. Holly Oaks (Express, from the $256s) steps up small. Fernhill Farms (Tradition, from the $321s) covers the move-up tier with premium spec (natural gas, tankless water heaters, HardiePlank). Fairhaven (Tradition, Coming Soon) anchors the future — 3-car garage option and 100% USDA financing. If price ranks as the priority, this community wins. If schools matter more, the specific zone differs — this community zones STEAM Academy / Statesboro High, while Holly Oaks zones Sallie Zetterower Elementary.
Working With Me on Stockyard
Lowest-price-band Express Series communities still carry lot premium and contract gotchas worth catching. Mixed townhome and single-family communities also carry different HOA structures depending on which product type you buy — and the HOA fine print matters. I bring a clear read of which homes deliver real value at the $249,990 entry point, contract review including the HOA structure for your specific unit type, walkthrough advocacy at framing and pre-drywall, closing-day deficiency list, and warranty advocacy. No cost to you — the buyer’s-agent commission already builds into the price either way.
