When it comes to building a custom home in Rochester, location is everything. Not just where you live, but how the neighborhood is designed, how it feels day to day, and how it grows over time.
That’s why we’re proud to build in four of Rochester’s most thoughtfully developed communities, all part of Mark Hanson Developments. Each neighborhood offers something unique, but all share the same commitment to quality, long-term vision, and livability.

Scenic Oaks West
Scenic Oaks West is known for its elevated setting, natural beauty, and carefully planned layout. Rolling landscapes, wooded surroundings, and access to nearby walking trails create a setting that feels both private and connected.
Homes here are designed to take advantage of the views and the land, with layouts that emphasize natural light, outdoor living, and timeless architecture. It’s a neighborhood where every home contributes to the overall character of the community.
Millie Meadow
Millie Meadow offers a quieter, more tucked-away feel while still being close to everything Rochester has to offer. With larger lots and a balance of open space and natural elements, it’s ideal for homeowners looking for a little more room to breathe.
This neighborhood allows for a wide range of custom home designs, giving homeowners the flexibility to create something that fits their lifestyle while still being part of a cohesive, well-planned development.

Lilly Farm
Lilly Farm blends neighborhood living with a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. It’s a community that feels established yet fresh, with homes that reflect both craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
With a focus on livability, homes in Lilly Farm are designed for how people actually live, whether that’s entertaining, working from home, or simply enjoying everyday routines in a well-built space.
Centurion Ridge Villas
Centurion Ridge Villas offers a different approach to homeownership with a focus on simplified living. This villa community is designed for those who want high-quality construction and thoughtful design without the ongoing maintenance.
With association-managed lawn care, snow removal, and exterior upkeep, homeowners can focus more on enjoying their home and less on managing it. The homes themselves maintain the same level of detail, customization, and craftsmanship found in larger custom builds.
A Shared Vision Across Every Neighborhood
What connects all of these communities is the vision behind Mark Hanson Developments. Each neighborhood is intentionally designed to balance natural surroundings, architectural consistency, and long-term value.
As a builder, working within these developments allows us to focus on what matters most: creating homes that feel personal, functional, and built to last.

Thinking About Building in Rochester?
Whether you’re drawn to the elevated views of Scenic Oaks West, the space and privacy of Millie Meadow, the livability of Lilly Farm, or the simplicity of Centurion Ridge Villas, each community offers a different way to experience home.
If you’re considering building, we’d be happy to help you explore which neighborhood is the right fit and how to bring your vision to life.
