Best Residential Builder 3-Peat!

Eldon Homes wins Madison.com People’s Choice Award for the Third Year in a Row

We’re still pinching ourselves! Winning the Madison.com People’s Choice Award for Best Residential Builder three years in a row feels pretty incredible. But honestly, this isn’t just another trophy for the shelf. It’s a reflection of our neighbors and the communities we’re proud to call home.

As your Hometown Homebuilder, there’s nothing more meaningful than knowing local families continue to choose us year after year. When our neighbors recognize our work, that’s the highest compliment we can receive.

Community Trust Built This Win

“Winning consistently tells me that our team’s hard work, vision, and commitment to excellence are being recognized not just once, but year after year,” reflects Rob Hostrawser, President of Eldon Homes. “It reinforces that we’re building more than homes, we’re building trust, relationships, and community.”

This three-peat victory represents something deeper than construction excellence. It’s about people. It’s about the connections we’ve made, the trust we’ve earned, and the communities we’ve helped build across southern Wisconsin.

Why Homebuyers Continue to Choose Eldon Homes

It really comes down to our people. As Rob puts it, “Without question, it’s our people, our dedicated staff, trade partners, and the families who trust us to build their homes.”

We’re not just building houses. We’re neighbors building homes for neighbors. That makes all the difference.

Raising the Standard for Madison-Area Homebuilding

We’re not slowing down. Our focus is on growing thoughtfully by adding new neighborhoods while making sure every family enjoys the personalized, hometown experience they deserve. Our two latest neighborhoods, Hawks View in Albion and Settler’s Grove in Evansville, show exactly where we’re headed with quality homes, energy efficiency, and smart home design.

Looking to the future, we see Eldon Homes building more neighborhoods across southern Wisconsin while being recognized as a leader in thoughtful, community-centered development.

Earlier this year, we were honored as Best Emerging Home Builder 2025 – Wisconsin, further recognizing the momentum our team has built. Our commitment to homeowner satisfaction also earned us the Avid Benchmark Award, a reflection of the positive experiences families have during the first 90 days of homeownership.

A Huge Thank You to Everyone Who Voted

As we celebrate this third consecutive win, we’re reminded that “our success is never about one person. It’s the collective effort of an entire team,” Rob notes. “And ultimately, it’s about the families who call our houses ‘home.’ They are the reason we do what we do.”

This award belongs to everyone who has been part of the Eldon Homes story. Our dedicated team, skilled trade partners, supportive local officials, and most importantly, the families who have chosen to build their futures with us.

Here’s to three years of recognition, and to many more years of building exceptional homes and stronger communities together. Thank you, Madison, for honoring not just what we build, but how we build it. With care, integrity, and as your Hometown Homebuilder.
