It's Time to "Kiss Upgrades Goodbye!"

At Heartland Homes, we have always been proud to offer only the very best. Home builders here in Pittsburgh, and around the country are trying to offer cheaper homes at cheaper prices - hoping that customers won't notice the lack of quality. We don't think that is the way to treat your customers. So while other builders are taking features OUT of their homes, we are putting MORE in! For a limited time, our most popular UPGRADES are now INCLUDED.
MORE features, MORE quality, MORE value - with these included upgrades:


-A gourmet center island kitchen





-Stainless steel appliances from Whirlpool





-Upgraded kitchen cabinets (Maple)





-Granite countertops





-Hardwood floors in kitchen, foyer, and powder room





Hurry! This offer won't last for long - so
visit a model home today or contact Sara, your new home online concierge. She'll be happy to answer your questions or set a private appointment for you with one of our sales managers.

Introducing the Yorkshire and the Devonshire: the two newest Heartland Homes designs!

With all of Heartland Homes’ accolades, from being the #1 home builder in Pittsburgh, to winning award after award, it would be easy for us to sit on our laurels. After all, why mess with a winning formula. Well, we are determined to always keep up with new advances in home design and architecture, and we take to heart any ideas or suggestions our happy Heartland homeowners give us.

Based on these suggestions and ideas from our customers, we’ve upgraded and reinvented two of our most popular designs. We are pleased to present the Devonshire, and the Yorkshire. These new designs are based on feedback from dozens of people who purchased the older versions and suggested what they might do differently if they built again. We also solicited feedback from our “customer advisory board” made up of past buyers who opt-in to be part of the board. They may not have built a home like these two, but they still gave up feedback on the most important things in their homes.

Both home designs are a perfect fit for growing families – plenty of space for today, and lots of room to grow into tomorrow.

Heartland Homes Hopes To Give Away $100,000 at Grand Event!

About a year ago when Heartland Homes, Pittsburgh’s #1 custom home builder, was considering where to expand their business – Morgantown quickly became the best choice. With its low unemployment rate, steadily growing economy, and solid academic foundation the area made a great fit. “When we came down to visit, we were surprised to see how few options there were for those looking to build a new home in Morgantown,” said Scott Blodgett the company’s chief operating officer. “We feel like we offer something that wasn’t here before - extremely high quality custom homes at affordable prices. Plus, we have the experience and credibility of building hundreds of homes each year in the Pittsburgh area."

Heartland’s first community, The Summit at Cheat Lake off of Stewartstown Road, starts from the low $270’s including home site. It features lake front and lake view home sites, a private pool and clubhouse, sidewalks and bike trails with lake access, and even a private amenity area on the lake. You can choose from one of over 20 different home designs – or even design your own. Every home is custom built on site by hand, and includes name brand products like Andersen wood windows, Kohler faucets, and much more.

Now that the majority of development preparation has been completed, Heartland is preparing for what it is calling its “Grand Release Event” on Saturday, July 18th. This means that all home sites in the community are now available for sale on a first come, first served basis. There will also be refreshments, games, loads of prizes (gas cards, gift cards, etc), and guided tours of the model home and community available for the entire family. There will also be face painters, balloon animals, a bounce house, and more – but the main event is likely to be the$100,000 Mountaineer Football Challenge.

Everyone who attends the free event will be able to register for a chance to throw a football through a target twenty-five feet away to win the cash prize. Even if they don’t win the cash, the contestant will win a pair of season tickets to home Mountaineer football games. The event will run from 10am – 3pm, but the big throw will take place at 1pm. Be sure to arrive early so your registration is complete before the name is drawn at 12:45! Each person attending the event will also receive free gifts while supplies last.

Heartland Homes Named One of the Nation's Top 100 Home Builders

There is something about a good story that we just can’t resist - especially when it is a story about one of our own from Pittsburgh. Heartland Homes, a local family owned home builder, was recently named a “Top 100” builder in the country by Professional Builder Magazine, and they have a fantastic story to tell.“A lot of people think that we are somehow related to other home builders in Pittsburgh, and I can understand why they may be confused at first,” says Alan Gillespie - the Founder of Heartland Homes. He once worked for Ryan Homes as a senior manager before leaving to start Heartland.

“I really wanted to start out on my own, and do some things differently. I had narrowed down the name of the new company to three or four choices, and had my family vote on which name they liked best. That’s how Heartland Homes started,” says Alan. His former employer became a public company focused on the bottom line, and is no longer based in Pittsburgh. But over the next twenty-five years, Heartland became Pittsburgh’s top custom home builder by focusing on the quality of their homes and the customer experience. “We really never focused on growth... it just happened - and we have our customer’s word of mouth to thank for it,” says Alan.

What does Alan think about being named one of the top builders in the country? “I think it’s great recognition for all the people who work so hard to continue to make Heartland Homes special because they deserve it,” he said. “However, it isn’t going to change how we do things around here.” That’s probably a good idea - Heartland seems to have found a winning formula.

Save Thousands Every Year with a Heartland Healthy Home!

When you think of a "green home", what comes to mind? According to third party surveys, what Pittsburgh thinks of the most is monthly savings from lower utility bills. Another popular answer was improved livability in the home due to better air quality, and rounding out the top three answers was environmentally friendly building processes. At Heartland Homes, we have combined all three into an enhanced set of standard features for every home we build called the Heartland Healthy Home.

















These features, listed below - combine to lower utility bills, improve indoor air quality, and use earth friendly materials in every Heartland Home!
