“Eastwood was very easy to deal with and Michelle and Ben were wonderful with answering questions and valuing our needs. The only change I’d make is to have the design center more knowledgeable about how much the homes around you are appraising for, because we appraised for 16k less than what our lender told us we could spend, so we had to delete quite a few upgrades which left us a little frustrated. Michelle Puletti was amazing in doing all she could though to keep us happy during that hiccup”
“We love the Raliegh! The only reason I can't give it a 5 star is due to option selection. We would have loved to have had a more of a custom selection when it came to the features of the inside. You have a great house and we are glad we bought it. Just some of the limitations on color selections and fixtures were the only thing we would have liked to have had more of. Other than that we are very pleased and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home. Hopefully we will feel this way years from now too”
“Lots of good things. Personal are great and knowledgeable about product.
A few things could be better, like in the Caldwell unit the attic above the garage have the floor joist framed with 2 by fours, this should have been done with 2 by sixes to support a load bearing floor for storage. This makes it look like you took the cheap way out or route here, (2) the pull down attic stairs should not be in the master closet, this is poor planning, these stairs should have been put in the garage ceiling..!! (3)the blinds over the patio door were installed with not enough floor clearance, blinds would not close over a throw rug, the middle bracket had no lag screw anchors, I had to take the whole system down and re-install it for floor clearance, (4) the dryer exhaust box or panel was installed to far back into the wall with a 1" gap between it and the Sheetrock, this has been reported and hopefully will be fixed in the future.
Enjoying the house, things could always be better

“Everything about my experience with purchasing a Eastwood Home was amazing, the staff members were all great, the only problems I had were at closing and finalizing my contract. The lawyers that Eastwood Homes used at closing are the worst I have ever worked with, they made a mistake with sending out a payout and tried to blame me for the mistake, along with unprofessional name calling. At the time I wrote out my contract I felt as if I was being penalized because I did not use Eastwood Homes preferred lenders, I know if you use them you are offered certain things, but don't make the customer feel pressured because they have been preapproval with a different lender, they actually took a few things off of my contract that was originally offered because I was not using their lenders. But overall, from the builders, administration staff, and the sales woman at Parkview Estates everyone was amazing and it minimized the awful experience I had with writing the contract and at closing. I would still recommend them to anybody, its a great place to live!!!”
“Thank you to all that helped us along our home buying journey. From the financing to the actual building of the house, things ran smoothly and we were kept informed along the way. One minor hiccup with the grading of our back yard. There was standing water a few days before closing. On the day after closing, the sod and yard company came out to continue to fix and drove a machine over the sod creating a mess. But Tory our project manager has been awesome and is working to get the sod repaired or replaced. Outside of this, seamless! And our home is beautiful and fits our needs! Thank you Eastwood.”
“Nice curb appeal with Stacked Stone and cementitious siding. Nice interior with wide trim, hardwood/carpet floors, brushed nickel...and good sized rooms, including closets (exception: laundry). The 3 car garage is just sufficient, +2 ft in length and width would make a big difference in usability, especially the length limitations mandated by placement of “bollard”, a concrete filled steel pole required by code to protect hot water heater/main water supply from vehicle impact. Tankless water heater and relocation of main water supply would solve this restriction (2015 Honda Accord will not fit). Ceiling fans (or at least light fixtures), and automatic garage door openers should be standard!”
“Everything is great
Just wish they would offer to sod the backyard before you move in and keep a fence up if the lot is vacant besides you
Mud pit without sod”
“We are enjoying our new house tremendously. Our project manager who we sincerely enjoyed left the company halfway through the build. Despite this the transition was fairly seamless. Glad to say our first home buying experience was great!”
“Eastwood did a great job of keeping us updated throughout the process, and they completed the home a few days ahead of schedule. Our sales agent and builder contact were both very responsive and helpful. There were a few little things that needed attention, but the construction was good overall. There was a little lack of flexibility with a few upgrades/changes we wanted to make, which is why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5, but as a whole we are very satisfied!”
“Overall our building/buying process with Eastwood was pretty simple. We purchased the spec home half way through the building process, so there wasn't many changes allowed, which made the process really easy. All of our concerns were addressed in a timely manner and the home was finished on time! I'd certainly recommend Eastwood builders and would build with them again in the future.”
