Centered around the belief that‘ building a home is more than a transaction – it’ s a deeply personal journey’, Lifestyle Design Homes( LDH) is a family-owned builder setting the standard for exceptional homebuilding in Southwest Florida. Founded just four years ago by husband-and-wife team Derrick and Kimberly Henderson, and daughter Jadyn Henderson, the company combines quality craftsmanship, innovative design, and personalized service to create homes that reflect the people who live in them. The business is proudly built on integrity, trust, and a shared passion for turning visions into reality, and its clients can be certain that they are investing in a legacy of excellence, care, and homes that truly stand the test of time.

We have a designated Moving Coordinator who helps with that process as well as scheduling, and there’ s nothing quite like working with a first-time buyer in particular. We have an incentive for first time buyers where we’ ll give them $ 10,000 credit to go towards building their home.”
Though LDH is only in its fourth year of operation, it has firmly positioned itself as an integral part of Florida’ s homebuilding industry. Driven by its family-oriented culture and passion for exceptional craftmanship, the
