Custom Home Builder in Van Alstyne, TX

Home Building & Remodeling in Van Alstyne, TX

Van Alstyne sits about 20 miles south of Sherman along US-75, right in the sweet spot between the Texoma region and the northern edge of the DFW growth wave. This small town has managed to hold onto its character even as the corridor around it develops — you still see working farmland on both sides of the highway and a genuine community feel around the downtown area. The land around Van Alstyne is increasingly attractive to people who want to build a custom home on a few acres without the HOA restrictions and cookie-cutter layouts of the suburbs to the south. Bradshaw Builders has been working in and around Van Alstyne for years, and we bring the same quality and reliability whether it's a new custom build or a renovation of an existing home.

What to Know About Building in Van Alstyne

Van Alstyne straddles the Grayson and Collin county line, so permitting depends on which side of the boundary your property falls. The black clay soil common throughout this part of the US-75 corridor requires properly engineered foundations — skipping soil testing here is a mistake that will cost you later. Van Alstyne ISD is a small, well-regarded district that's a significant draw for families, and the town's proximity to both Sherman and McKinney gives residents access to services in both directions. City water is available in town, but most of the acreage tracts that make Van Alstyne attractive for custom builds are on well and septic. The railroad still runs through the center of town, and building lots east or west of the tracks each have their own character.
