Our story begins with Jesse Carpenter, our co-founder and visionary. With over two decades of experience in the home services industry, Jesse has honed his skills in custom home building and cultivated a deep understanding of what makes a house a home. But it was a personal journey that sparked the creation of Casita Home Builders

we’re not just building  homes –we’re building communities

When Jesse's mother needed a new place to call home, he didn't just look for a house—he decided to build one. Right there on his own property, Jesse crafted a cozy, elegant space that allowed his mother to maintain her independence while staying close to family. This experience opened his eyes to the transformative power of multigenerational living and accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

The Joys of Multi-generational Living

Multigenerational households have grown significantly in recent years, with nearly 60 million Americans living in such arrangements. Studies have shown that these intergenerational connections can even contribute to longer, healthier lives for all family members involved. This trend brings numerous benefits:
Stronger Family Bonds:
Daily interactions foster deeper connections across generations.
Financial Advantages:
Shared living expenses can lead to significant cost savings.
Childcare Support:
Grandparents can help with childcare, easing the burden on working parents.
Elder Care:
Adult children can more easily support aging parents.
Combating Loneliness:
Regular family interaction reduces isolation, particularly for older adults.
Knowledge Sharing:
Younger generations can learn life wisdom, while older adults can gain tech skills.

At Casita Home Builders, we're committed to addressing Cincinnati's housing challenges head-on. We recognize the shortage of affordable housing in our city, with a deficit of around 50,000 affordable rental units in the metro area. Our mission is to bridge this gap by providing beautiful, cost-effective housing solutions.
We're not just building homes; we're building communities. Our vision extends beyond individual ADUs to the development of tiny home communities. These innovative neighborhoods will offer new homeowners an entry point into the housing market, allowing them to build equity and create generational wealth for their families. 

Our Vision for Cincinnati

We're not just building homes; we're building communities. Our vision extends beyond individual ADUs to the development of tiny home communities. These innovative neighborhoods will offer new homeowners an entry point into the housing market, allowing them to build equity and create generational wealth for their families. 
These communities are also an excellent option for aging boomers to simplify their living and downsize into a brand new place that feels like home. By focusing on efficient, high-quality construction and leveraging the latest in ADU regulations, we're making homeownership more accessible. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and we're working tirelessly to make that a reality in Cincinnati.
