“If you think of the best place in the country, everybody says it’s Texas. The best place in Texas is Dallas-Fort Worth. Then, to be even more surgical, I think we’re in the best place, northeast Tarrant County.”

As production home builders cut back, Maykus Homes and Neighborhoods is keeping a steady pipeline and focusing markets where it has seen success.

The company has 20 homes under construction and 150 lots in production, concentrated in markets like Grapevine and Southlake. Maykus Homes and Neighborhoods has managed its inventory and doesn't have excess homes it needs to offload. , president of Maykus Homes and Neighborhoods. “What got builders in trouble in the Great Recession was having a lot of inventory sitting out there.”
