Why Community Counts: A Closer Look at Life in Nexton
Nexton was created with connection in mind. Not just connection to places - though with miles of trails linking homes to schools, shops, restaurants, and parks, that’s certainly part of it. But also the kind of connection that turns neighbors into friends and a collection of streets into something more like a village.
And for many parents, that village means everything. It’s the neighbor who helps wrangle scooters at the park. The friend who remembers your kid’s favorite Capri Sun flavor. The community where kids play freely and safely, and where parents feel supported - not just socially, but emotionally. It’s the kind of place where you know you're not doing this whole family thing alone.
Ten years in, the Nexton vision of a new kind of community is here, and it's thriving. Each neighborhood has its own character, but they’re all tied together by a shared sense of welcome. And in the past year, one family in particular has experienced that welcome in the most meaningful way.
To get a glimpse of what that feels like, you don’t need to take our word for it - just listen to one of our neighbors.
Meet the neighbors: The Banks Family
Korey Banks and his family moved to Nexton not long ago, but their experience speaks volumes. Korey told us about the decision to relocate, the process of building with Homes by Dickerson, and the impact the move has had on his family.
“Homes by Dickerson really sets themselves apart by working with you to create not just a house, but a home - one you can grow in and stay in for years. They take the time to understand your family and ask the right questions about what matters most,” Korey says. From the start, the process was personal. Homes by Dickerson helped shape a space that reflected his family’s needs, routines, and vision — not just a floor plan, but a place where life could happen.
That level of care paid off in ways big and small. One of the most unforgettable moments? Surprising his sons with the new home reveal. Their reaction - pure joy and awe - is a moment Korey says they’ll never forget.
A Community That Grows With You
Nexton isn’t just a collection of homes. It’s a community intentionally designed to support the way people live today. Open spaces for gathering. Smart features for modern living. Energy efficiency that adds comfort and cuts costs. As Korey puts it, these homes aren’t just move-in ready — they’re move-in confident.
But what really makes a place feel like home is what happens once you step outside your front door.
For Korey and his family, that’s where the neighborhood itself really shines. Whether it’s biking through scenic trails, chatting with new friends at the park, or spending time on the playgrounds, the everyday rhythms of life at Nexton make it easy to feel connected — to nature, to neighbors, and to a broader sense of belonging.
Safety, walkability, aesthetics, and access to top-tier schools are all part of what drew the Banks family to Nexton. But what’s kept them feeling confident in their choice is something less tangible - the relationships they’ve built, the memories they’re making, and the way this place has become part of their family’s story.
It’s a reminder that when you’re choosing a new home, you’re not just picking out countertops and floorplans. You’re choosing your next chapter. And in Korey’s words, Nexton has proven to be the right place to begin that chapter — a place where their children can grow up surrounded by support, beauty, and the kind of community that makes life feel fuller.
