Legend Homes

Who is Legend Homes?

We're a Texas-based homebuilder striving to expand access to homeownership because everyone deserves to live in a home of their own. We provide holistic support throughout our customers’ homebuying journeys and offer innovative home designs that empower them to live life on their own terms. Lastly, we design and develop connected communities that enhance how our customers live, work, and build vibrant relationships.

We make this dream a reality by removing barriers along the way. We do it because we believe a home of your own — in a great community — offers unparalleled potential. A place from which you can both root and rise, making anything possible.

We exist to bring homeownership within reach for all.

Our History

Since 1991, Legend Homes has planned, designed, and built high-quality homes in communities where our customers want to work, send their children to school, and build vibrant, connected lives.

Originally based in the Houston area, Legend Homes has since expanded its reach throughout Texas by establishing communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Bryan-College Station, and more.

In 2005, Legend Homes’ parent company, Camillo Companies, entered the San Antonio market under the Bella Vista Homes brand, which it operated for nearly two decades.

In 2023, Camillo Companies rebranded Bella Vista Homes to Legend Homes by Camillo as part of a strategic alignment initiative. It still maintains a strong, growing presence in the region, with newly constructed communities in San Antonio, Cibolo, Seguin, New Braunfels, and beyond.

Who is Camillo Companies?

As one of the largest privately held real estate development and construction companies in Texas, Camillo Companies exists to open doors to greater opportunities for all people.

For more than 30 years, the company has led the way in constructing premier communities featuring affordable homes and residences that maximize style, livability, and functional floorplan designs. Camillo Companies is a vertically integrated operation consisting of four primary entities, including Retail (Legend Homes), Residences (SimplyHome), Land Development (Academy Development), and Maintenance (LCI Services).

Through these operations, Camillo Companies has constructed more than 30,000 homes and residences in the Greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Bryan-College Station areas, establishing a standard of exceptional customer service and attainability.

In 2007, the company pioneered the single-family build-to-rent business, eventually leading to the 2012 launch of Camillo Properties— now named SimplyHome — which builds, leases, and manages both new and recently constructed single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-family projects.

Beginning in 2023, the company plans to expand into new markets in and outside of Texas.
