About LGI Homes
LGI Homes was founded in 2003 by Eric Lipar in The Woodlands, Texas. The company went public in 2013 and has grown into one of the nation's largest homebuilders, specializing in affordable, move-in-ready homes for first-time buyers. LGI's model is built on affordability and simplicity. Every home comes move-in ready with included upgrades — appliances, blinds, front and back yard landscaping, and a smart home package. There's no design center or upgrade negotiation; what you see is what you get, at a competitive price. LGI also operates the Terrata Homes brand for its more premium product line. In Tampa Bay, LGI Homes builds across Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, and Hernando counties, focusing on communities in growth areas where land costs support their attainable pricing. Communities are typically located in Ruskin, Wimauma, Zephyrhills, Plant City, and Spring Hill. Pricing in Tampa Bay typically starts in the mid-$200s and tops out around $400,000, making LGI one of the most affordable new-construction options in the market.
