Westin Homes Pricing
Westin pricing, plain language.
Active Westin listings currently start in the low $430s and run to roughly $855,000, with the middle of the market near $555,000. Their plans also run large — about 2,425 to 4,463 square feet, median near 3,078 — which is a good part of why the floor sits higher than the entry builders. If you are shopping under 2,400 square feet, Westin is probably not your builder.
Two things worth saying plainly. Those are list prices, so lot premium and whatever the design centre added are already inside them — a builder’s advertised base price will always sound lower than what you actually write a cheque for. And the number that matters is base plus lot premium plus design centre. I go through all three with clients before anybody signs anything.

Candela

Ask Eddie about Candela →Conroe · Conroe ISD
Artavia
North-side master-planned community in the piney woods, with a strong amenity build-out. Westin’s second-largest position and a noticeably different setting from their west-side communities.
Active Westin range here: $429,630–$679,698
Ask Eddie about Artavia →Fulshear · Lamar CISD
Cross Creek West

Ask Eddie about Cross Creek West →Katy · Katy ISD
Elyson
Large Katy-side master-planned community where Westin holds one of the widest price ranges of any of their positions — the entry end here is their most accessible Houston inventory.

Sienna
Established Fort Bend master-planned community with a long amenity track record. Westin’s plans here span most of their range; MUD layer applies, so check the tax rate per section.

The three things nobody warns Westin buyers about until the design centre.
Westin Homes’s base price is the start of the conversation, not the end of it. Three categories decide where the all-in number lands.
What’s Standard
Westin’s standard package reflects the price point — this is move-up production, not entry. Expect a fuller standard elevation, higher ceilings in the main living areas on most plans, and a deeper trim package than the entry builders in this guide. What it is not is semi-custom: the structural option list is narrower than Toll’s, and the finish palette is a curated set rather than an open showroom.
The Design Centre Reality
The number that should shape your design-centre strategy at Westin is 382. With that much active inventory, you have real choice between a completed home where the selections are already made and the price is known, and a to-be-built where you control the finishes but carry the timeline. Most buyers over-value the second option. Walk the completed inventory first and see how close it already is to what you would have picked.
The Lot Premium Math
Westin’s positions are concentrated in master-planned communities where lot premium is a published, structured number rather than a negotiation — greenbelt, water and cul-de-sac positions carry defined premiums. The useful move is not arguing the premium down; it is comparing the premium against the resale spread for that lot type in that community, which is exactly the analysis I run before a client commits.
Why People Pick Westin Homes
More active listings than the rest of this guide combined.
Westin carries 382 active Houston listings. For comparison, Chesmar has 90 and Coventry has 85. If selection is what you care about — a specific lot, a specific orientation, a specific move-in month — Westin gives you the most to choose from by a wide margin, and that is genuine negotiating leverage for you rather than for them. They have built in Houston and Austin only for more than thirty years, headquartered in Sugar Land, which is unusual at this volume and shows in how consistently they turn up in the western and northern master-planned communities instead of chasing every corner of the metro. The trade-off is size: their plans run large, so the entry price is higher than the volume builders. Source: westin-homes.com, retrieved August 2026.
On the buyer-agent side, Westin Homes plays the standard new-construction game. The on-site sales representative represents the builder, not you. I register on day one before the on-site team claims the lead, negotiate the incentive package and rate buy-down, walk through which options actually hold their value at resale, and read the contract and the warranty document before you sign. The builder pays my commission, so representation costs you nothing out of pocket — it just changes who is arguing on your side.
Westin Homes FAQ
The questions Westin Homes buyers actually ask.
Is Westin Homes a good builder?
For a move-up Houston buyer who wants selection and a larger plan, Westin is a strong option — they carry 382 active listings in Greater Houston, more than any other builder in this guide, and they have built in Houston and Austin only for over thirty years from a Sugar Land headquarters. Where they are not the answer is the entry end: their plans run 2,425 to 4,463 square feet, so if you are shopping under 2,400 square feet you are looking at the wrong builder.
What does a Westin home cost in Houston?
Active Westin listings currently start in the low $430s and run to roughly $855,000, with the middle of the market near $555,000. That is live list price — lot premium and design-centre spend are already baked in. Their plans running large (median about 3,078 square feet) is a good part of why the floor sits higher than the volume builders.
Which Houston communities have Westin Homes?
Heaviest in Richmond with 74 active listings, then Katy at 51, Hockley 44, Fulshear 40 and Montgomery 37. By community, Candela leads with 31, followed by Artavia, Cross Creek West and Elyson at 20 each, then Colton, The Grand Prairie, Austin Point and Kresston. They are also active in Bridgeland, Sienna, Sunterra and Jordan Ranch.
Is Westin Homes a Houston builder?
Yes — headquartered in Sugar Land, and they build only in the Houston and Austin markets, which is unusual for a builder carrying this much active inventory. Most builders at that volume are national. Source: westin-homes.com, retrieved August 2026.
What is standard versus upgrade at Westin?
The standard package reflects the move-up price point: a fuller standard elevation, higher ceilings in main living areas on most plans, and deeper trim than the entry builders here. It is not semi-custom, though — the structural option list is narrower than Toll’s and the finish palette is a curated set rather than an open showroom. Get the plan-specific inclusions sheet in writing.
How long does a Westin home take to build?
With 382 active listings, a meaningful share of Westin’s inventory is already complete or near complete, which means you may not be waiting at all. Completed homes can close on a normal financing timeline. To-be-built runs the usual Houston production range. My advice with Westin specifically: walk the completed inventory before you commit to building, because with this much selection it is often already close to what you would have chosen.
Do I need a REALTOR® to buy a Westin home?
You do not need one — which is precisely why you want one. The on-site sales representative works for Westin. Register without representation and you have given up your negotiator before the conversation starts. Bring me on day one: I register as your buyer’s agent before the on-site team claims the lead, and the builder pays my commission, so it costs you nothing out of pocket.
What is Westin’s warranty?
Westin provides a builder warranty in the standard Texas production structure — a short workmanship period, a longer systems period, and a long-term structural period. The binding terms are in the warranty document attached to your contract rather than the sales material. I review it with clients before signing and flag the common exclusions.
