The Studio in Houston by Ashton Woods

Every one of the 52 builder listings for Houston comes with a phone number, so calling around to compare a few doesn't mean hunting for missing contact info first. Most also link out further: 48 of them have a website on file, giving you a place to check past projects or service areas before you pick up the phone. Zips like 77041 and 77055 each carry four listings, with several more zips around Houston, including 77007, 77008, 77024, 77027, 77043, and 77084, holding three apiece, so you'll likely find a handful of options close to home no matter which side of town you're on.

None of these listings are labeled Sponsored, since paid placement for this category hasn't launched in Houston, so the order you see here is just the plain directory feed, not a ranked or paid list. If you run one of the four builders without a website showing, you can claim your listing and add the link, which gives someone weighing a few names in the same zip more to go on than a phone number alone.
