5 Mar 2025

News

Eaton, Ohio, is growing. With major employers like Henny Penny and Mars expanding and new job opportunities rising, the need for high-quality, move-in-ready housing has never been greater. Enter Georgetown Village, a brand-new community from D.R. Horton that is set to offer the potential for 32 new homes in Preble County. Focused on today’s workforce and families, Georgetown Village offers modern, low-maintenance homes with innovative features, easy financing options, and exclusive incentives that make homeownership more accessible than ever.

With a grand opening set for March 6, 2025, eight homes for sale, and tours available, Georgetown Village is a strategic investment in Eaton’s future. This new housing development signals that the community is a top destination for investment, attracting, and retaining top talent.

Why Eaton, OH? A Perfect Fit for Development

D.R. Horton carefully selects communities where their developments will have the greatest impact, and Eaton stands out for several reasons. The city’s rich history and energetic downtown make it an attractive place to live, offering a welcoming atmosphere for new residents. Additionally, with many dual-income households in the area, the demand for low-maintenance, modern homes has never been higher.

Georgetown Village also aligns with Eaton’s ongoing economic growth efforts. By increasing housing options, the development strengthens the local housing market and supports future investments from businesses looking to expand in the region.

A Healthy Economy with Workforce Demand

Eaton is home to large manufacturing employers and corporate headquarters, creating steady job growth. As businesses compete for skilled workers, housing has become a key factor in attracting and retaining employees. Georgetown Village makes homeownership attainable for workers. Also, the new development will help companies attract qualified talent to work for them in Preble County.

A Community That Feels Like Home

A house is much more than four walls and a roof; it’s a fresh start and chance for community building. Eaton’s historic downtown, friendly atmosphere, and strong sense of local pride make it a perfect place to live. Georgetown Village offers residents the best of both worlds: the charm of small-community living with the convenience of modern, maintenance-free homes.

A Solution to Housing Needs

Many Eaton families are dual-income households, meaning time is a valuable resource. D.R. Horton designed Georgetown Village to help eliminate some of the stress in buying a home. With new construction homes, there isn’t a long list of expensive, time-consuming projects. D.R. Horton homes are move-in ready and backed by a robust warranty and top-tier customer service. For homebuyers, that means more time to focus on family, career, and enjoying their new community.

What Georgetown Village Offers Homebuyers

Georgetown Village is about delivering a better way to live.

Move-In Ready Homes: No remodeling unexpected repairs, just a brand-new home designed for comfort and convenience.
Smart Home Features: Every home includes a built-in security system (with an option for monthly security service), Deako light switch system, and video doorbells, giving residents peace of mind and modern convenience.
Community Amenities: A scenic community pond and well-designed neighborhood layout enhance the living experience.
Low-Maintenance Living: As a grand opening promotion, the first ten homebuyers will receive a year of their lawn care and snow removal services paid for by D.R. Horton.
Flexible and Affordable Financing: With special financing options available through DHI Mortgage, buying a home in Georgetown Village is easier and more affordable than ever.

Supporting Eaton’s Workforce with Housing Incentives

Recognizing the growing trend of housing incentives as an employee benefit, D.R. Horton is introducing an Employee Partnership Program. Participating businesses can offer their employees exclusive homebuying incentives, making it easier for workers to buy a home and plant roots in the community.

This is an important incentive for companies in Eaton and Preble County. A strong workforce starts with stability at home, and employers that provide housing incentives gain a competitive edge in recruitment and retention.

More Than Just Homes: A Commitment to the Community

D.R. Horton understands that homeownership is a major decision, and they’re committed to supporting homebuyers at every step. As part of their community engagement efforts, they offer:

Homebuyer Education: Helping first-time buyers understand the process and financial benefits of owning a home.
Consumer Credit Counseling: The Home Buyers Club is a free program designed to assist those who aren’t financially ready yet but want to work toward homeownership.
Partnership with Local Growth Initiatives: D.R. Horton works closely with the city to ensure that Georgetown Village enhances Eaton’s long-term growth and development plans.

What’s Next? Grand Opening & Home Availability

Set to launch on March 6, 2025, Georgetown Village will introduce 32 new home lots to Eaton’s housing market, with prices ranging from the upper $200,000s to the low $300,000s. With a strong commitment to quality, a top-rated customer service experience, and a clear vision for supporting the community, D.R.
