Howe, Texas
Custom home builder in Howe
Howe is small, sits on the US-75 corridor between Sherman and Van Alstyne, and is where families move for the school district. It is also where the lots Randy has available are zoned, which makes it the one town on this list where he can hand you the land and the house in the same conversation.

Building here specifically
Small town, corridor access
Howe gives you the US-75 access that makes Van Alstyne attractive without the pace of growth that comes with it. For families who want the school district and a quieter street, that trade is the entire appeal.
Most building here is on individual lots rather than in large subdivisions, which suits the way Randy works. Outside the city limits you are on county permitting and an aerobic septic system, same as the rest of the county.
Why people build here rather than buy
- Randy has lots available in the Howe school district
- US-75 access without Van Alstyne’s rate of change
- Individual lots rather than tract subdivisions
Randy will walk your lot before he prices anything, because on this ground the lot decides more than the plan does.
