“In Their Own Words”

We are a relationship company committed to building trust, communication, and respect with homeowners, employees and partners for years to come.

"A HOME FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE" was spoken by Sir Lawrie Barratt some 25 years ago. In the following decades, the company that bears his name became the largest and most renowned home builder in all of England. Barratt American, now independently owned and managed, has, for the past 25 years, embraced both the promise and consequence of Sir Lawrie's credo.

Our scope of residential communities spans everything from the sensibly economical to the sumptuously luxurious, from white water views to relaxed desert living, and from urban mid-rise and multi-use villages to enclave neighborhoods and cutting-edge master-planned communities.

Why? Beyond our historical roots, California and the west are changing. The one-size-fits-all approach no longer serves the needs of today's eclectic and increasingly individualistic population. That's why we're leading the charge toward diversity and richness in housing choices and neighborhood design.

Of course, a sweeping range of housing styles demands the ability to marry "signature" architecture with highly desirable property. We're known for smart, stylish design solutions in the most coveted suburban and urban locations.

Because we're a private company, we depend upon local communities, not Wall Street, to help us thrive. Not surprisingly, we enjoy long-term relationships with both our homeowners and colleagues. Thanks to their support, we're able to continue to build remarkably different kinds of places for different kinds of people here in Southern California.
