In the heart of Yakima, Washington, a transformation is underway in the home building market—and Adair Homes is leading the way! With a commitment to innovation and a keen understanding of today’s home buyer, Adair Homes is redefining what it means to build an affordable custom home. Pre-built cookie-cutter homes are so…yesterday. You should expect better—and thanks to Adair, you can.

By taking on the complexities of the building process and giving our customers the reins to design, Adair Homes is making the journey to homeownership smoother and more enjoyable for everyone involved. Today, you can have a custom-designed and built home in Yakima, Washington—and do it within a sensible budget.

Hometown: Yakima

Nestled in the heart of Washington State, Yakima is known for its stunning natural beauty and rich agricultural heritage. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, Yakima offers residents a unique blend of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. The region is famous for its wineries and orchards, making it a haven for food and wine enthusiasts. With a thriving arts scene, numerous parks, and a variety of recreational activities—think hiking and biking to fishing and skiing!—there’s something for everyone in Yakima. The community is warm and welcoming; an ideal place to call home. And…it’s a growing, thriving area where the cost of living is still affordable and building a custom home isn’t out of reach.

Simplifying the Custom Home Process

For many, the thought of building a custom home can be absolutely overwhelming. However, Adair Homes is changing that narrative. By managing each aspect of the custom home process, we allow homeowners to focus on what truly matters: creating a space that reflects their unique style and needs. This hands-on approach means that the hard parts—drafting, permitting, site development, and construction—are expertly handled by a dedicated team of professionals.

The result? A streamlined experience. This is a game-changer in the Yakima home builders landscape. Customer satisfaction is paramount.

A Team of Innovators

At the heart of Adair Homes’ success is our product development process. Our professional design team is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to new and upcoming home trends. We aren’t like most Yakima home builders…our design experts allow Adair Homes to offer what today’s buyers are looking for.

Adair’s design team is constantly on the lookout for innovative products and features. We aren’t stuck in the past! And we don’t believe in keeping ‘standards’ stagnant. Instead, we stay in-the-know on all the latest home interior trends, colors, tiles, wood stains, and more.

Elevating Design with Emser Tile

One of the most exciting recent developments at Adair Homes is the update to our tile line, featuring stunning picks from Emser Tile. Recognizing that tile selection is often a deeply personal choice for homeowners, Adair has curated a range of options that cater to diverse tastes and styles.

Introducing the Gearhart and Oxford Plans

Adair doesn’t just elevate our interior home choices—we change up our home plans as well! We listen closely to our customers—those in the process of building, those who have completed their homes, and those sitting across from the Home Ownership Counselors still in the dreaming-of-a-new-home process. In every region we build, you can bet that the ‘most desired’ home designs differ: from size and number of rooms to storage space, to view corridors and kitchen layout, our customers are looking for homes that ‘live well’ in their chosen area. In response, Adair Homes is thrilled to introduce two new floor plans to the Yakima, Washington area: the Gearhart and the Oxford. These plans have been meticulously designed to reflect current home trends while incorporating all the features that Yakima homeowners desire most.
