About Jacobs Homes


Front Door For over three generations, making plans and building neighborhoods one home at a time has been our reward. Quality, craftsmanship, and a family approach have provided Jacobs homes with unprecedented levels of growth insuring our history of long-term success. For more than seven decades, we have remained a leader in the intensely competitive community of Chicago's most trusted developers. Today, Jacobs Homes remains well positioned to do what it has always done best: build new communities for generations of families. At Jacobs Homes, families first.

Jacobs Homes builds some of the most desirable communities which people return home to all their life. For over 72 years and through the many economic cycles, we never lose sight of our belief that success is measured solely by the satisfaction of each and every homeowner. By building communities in which people live and delivering a very real personalized level of service, we have greatly impacted the lives of many families. Building quality is our way of life.

For decades we've designed countless floor plans, elevations and every variation of the single-family home. From Lincolnwood to Highland Park, Glencoe to Kildeer, we love the challenge of transforming a piece of property into the centerpiece of a community. We are a good neighbor to the villages and suburbs looking toward the future. Our pulse and presence within the ever expanding boundaries of available real estate provides us with access to desirable properties. These opportunities enable us to develop new communities for the next generation of Jacobs' homeowners.
