Distinctive Home Builders Presents Quality Built Affordable Homes
At Cedar Creek in Joliet
Why Pay Rent? New homes with the shortest build times on the market from the low $200’s
Distinctive Home Builders
recently began preconstruction
sales at Cedar
Creek in Joliet. Homeowners
there will enjoy a low-priced
quality built home and low
Joliet taxes from one of the
area’s leading home builders.
Cedar Creek is located on
Millsdale Road, one half mile
west of Rt. 53 and south of
Laraway Road. Until on-site
models are completed this
summer, interested persons
are invited to visit Distinctive
Homes Sales and Information
Center in Manhattan on Rt.
52 for details and to tour
homes.
“Handcrafted semi-custom
homes are unheard of in the
area in this price range,” said
Bryan Nooner, president of
Frankfort-based Distinctive
Home Builders. “These
homes provide a great value
and in many cases will be
less than paying rent. This
opens up home ownership
opportunities to those who
were locked out of the
market previously. Although
construction is underway,
pre-construction savings are
still available.”
Affordable, conveniently
located ranch and two-story
homes feature floor plans
ranging from 1,500 to 3,000
square feet in size with two
to four bedrooms and brick,
frame and stone exteriors.
Prices start from the low
$200’s and some home sites
back up to Cedar Creek Park.
“These homes appeal to
two markets: Empty nesters
that are downsizing with our
ranches and an outstanding
value for first time
homebuyers and families
wanting the most space for
their money,” added Nooner.
Cedar Creek school children
attend Elwood School District
203 for K – 8 and high school
age children attend Joliet
Township Central High
School within District 204,
which was recently named the
College Board’s Advanced
Placement District of the
Year. Saint Joseph Academy
is also nearby.
“We have closed the gap of
getting what you want and
getting what you need in a
new home significantly by
including additional features
that our buyers told us were
most important to them,”
said Nooner. “Now is the
best time to buy, because you
can still take advantage of
preconstruction prices that
range from the low $200s
which makes this a terrific
new home value.”
Bryan Nooner, president of
Distinctive Home Builders,
has built thousands of singlefamily
homes throughout the
south and southwest suburbs
over the past 30 years.
Distinctive Home Builders
is dedicated to giving their
customers the best home
buying experience.
Distinctive works to achieve
a home delivery goal of 90
days with zero punch list items
for its homeowners. Before
closing, each home undergoes
an industry-leading checklist
that ensures each home
measures up to the firm’s high
quality standards. Distinctive
performs numerous quality
control checks throughout
the building process and
adheres to a nearly 1,500
point formal checklist that
project managers certify.
“Having a set of
measurable, identifiable
standards that our craftsmen
are expected to maintain is
critical to upholding high
quality standards and ensures
delivering a Zero Defect
Home to our homeowners,”
according to Distinctive
president, Bryan Nooner.
During the construction
process, there are prescheduled
times set for site
visitationsatvariouslandmark
stages of construction.
Communication is an
important aspect to
maintaining an overall
positive experience during
the construction process.
Therefore, all Distinctive
customers have the Project
Manager’s e-mail address
and cell phone number, as
well as, access to the secure
online customer portal where
pictures and logs show the
continued progress on their
home. Customers have
access to the online portal
through the Distinctive
Homebuilders App that can
be easily downloaded to any
smartphone or tablet.
“Our customers simply
download our Distinctive
Home Builders app and they
are in touch with their new
home 24/7 from anywhere
in the world. The app allows
our customers to see the
progress of their home and
access all their documents at
any time” Nooner explained.
“Our customers really
appreciate the integration of
social media sites within the
app allowing them to easily
share photos and updates of
their new home with family
and friends,” he concluded.
Nooner added that all homes
are highly energy efficient.
Every home built will have
upgraded wall and ceiling
insulation values with energy
efficient windows and high
efficiency furnaces. Before
homeowners move into their
new home, Distinctive Home
Builders conducts a blower
door test that pressurizes the
home to ensure that each
home passes a set of very
stringent Energy Efficiency
guidelines.
Cedar Creek is served by
major thoroughfares such
as IL Rte. 53, I-55 and I-80.

Cedar Creek homeowners

complexes nearby: Silver
