For the second year in a row, Esperanza Homes, a Rhodes company, has earned national recognition on the Builder 100 list, rising from #99 to #92 in 2025. Published annually by Builder magazine, the list ranks the top U.S. home builders based on new home closings.
This achievement reflects not only the steady growth of Esperanza Homes, but also the long-term vision and purpose that guides everything we do at Rhodes. From community development and planning to homebuilding, environmental stewardship, and resident experience, our work is guided by purpose. We are committed to enhancing lives and building communities that people love across South Texas.

Grounded in Values. Built for People.
Since 1996, Rhodes has been focused on building communities that last—places where families thrive, businesses grow, and people feel connected. That focus is shaped by five core values:
- Act With Integrity – We believe there is no such thing as compromise when it comes to acting with integrity in everything we do.
- Honor Our Team – We honor each other as individuals and professionals, no exceptions.
- Never Be Satisfied – We endlessly search for ways to continuously improve in every aspect of our business.
- Best-in-Class Customer Experience – We go beyond expectations every time, with every customer.
- Community Leadership – We take pride in actively engaging in the communities we serve, making them better for our future.
The success of Esperanza Homes is a reflection of these values in action.
Celebrating a Shared Milestone
This milestone belongs to the entire Rhodes family—across every team, every discipline, and every community we serve. It also belongs to the homeowners who place their trust in us and the partners and city leaders who share in the work of building something lasting.
We’re grateful for every person who made this possible and remain committed to creating places people are proud to call home.
