We design homes in Iowa that families are proud to come home to. As Central Iowa home builders with over 20 years of experience, we know these communities because we build in them every day. Fixed-price contracts. In-house design. A process that treats your investment the way it deserves.
Where We Build
These are the areas where we actively build. Our team knows the neighborhoods, the zoning requirements, and the best lots available. Every community below links to a dedicated page with local details and Claman projects in that area.
One of the most sought-after suburbs in the metro. Families building here want established neighborhoods, top-rated schools, and proximity to Jordan Creek.
Waukee is one of Iowa's fastest-growing cities. New developments are opening regularly. Lot availability moves fast.
A tight-knit community between Des Moines and Urbandale. Clive offers mature tree-lined streets and smaller, more exclusive developments.
Urbandale sits in the heart of the metro with easy access to every part of the city. We currently have multiple lots available in Urbandale developments.
Johnston has grown from a quiet suburb into one of the more desirable communities north of Des Moines. The Johnston Community School District draws families from across the metro.
Home base. Our office is at 1302 NW Arbor Dr in Ankeny. We've built extensively throughout this community and know its development patterns, lot availability, and building requirements better than anyone.
We also take on projects in the following communities for builds over $800K. These are areas where we’ve identified strong lots and communities that match the Claman standard.
South of Des Moines has growing development activity. We have lots available and built in select communities here. Norwalk attracts families seeking more space and newer infrastructure without leaving the metro, ideal for custom homes in Iowa with room to spread out.
A smaller community southwest of the metro. Cumming appeals to families seeking acreage and rural character within a reasonable drive of Des Moines. We take on select projects here for the right lot and scope.
For families building lakefront or lake-adjacent homes, we take on select projects around the greater Des Moines area. As a custom home builder in Iowa, these builds are typically larger in scope and budget. Exploring a lake property? Schedule a consultation, and we'll assess the site.
