DRB Homes: From Frederick County Roots to One of America's Top Home Builders

Written by Sarah Harne | Jun 2, 2026 6:49:17 PM

When a hometown company achieves national recognition, it's something worth celebrating.

DRB Homes has been ranked the 15th largest home builder in the United States on the 2026 Builder 100 list. Published annually by Builder Magazine, the Builder 100 rankings recognize the top home builders across the country based on home closings, revenue, and market performance.

For residents of Frederick County, this achievement feels especially meaningful.

DRB Homes was founded right here in Frederick County and maintained its corporate headquarters in Frederick for many years. Today, the company continues to grow from its Rockville, Maryland, location, building homes across multiple states and serving thousands of families nationwide.

Despite its national success, DRB Homes continues investing in the region where its story began. One of the best examples of that commitment can be found at Brunswick Crossing, Frederick County's award-winning master-planned community.
