Why Build a Custom Home in Fate, TX
Fate, Texas has transformed from a small Rockwall County community into one of the fastest-growing cities in America. Ranked #8 nationally for population growth, Fate is attracting buyers who want the best of both worlds: proximity to Dallas employment centers and a community that still feels like home.
What makes Fate special? It offers Rockwall County’s quality of life — excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, strong community — without the premium prices of Rockwall city proper. For customers who want custom home quality at a fair price, Fate is the sweet spot.
The Fate Advantage
Strategic Location
Fate sits at the intersection of opportunity — close enough to Dallas for easy commuting, far enough to maintain its distinct character. I-30 access puts major employment centers within reach.
Rockwall County Schools
Fate is served by Rockwall ISD and Royse City ISD, both districts with strong reputations and growing investment in facilities.
Custom Home Opportunities
While some areas of Fate have become more developed, custom-friendly acreage is still available for customers who want to build on their own land. The window of opportunity is open — but it won't stay open forever in a market growing this fast.
Rockwall Value
Seeking Rockwall County quality without paying Rockwall city premiums? Fate delivers. The same county services, the same quality of life, with more attainable land prices and custom home opportunities.
Growth With Momentum
Fate's growth isn't slowing down. Being part of this community now means building in a city with a bright future — where your investment has room to grow alongside the community.

WHY S. CLEMENTS HOMES
What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
In a fast-growing market like Fate, you have options. Production builders are putting up neighborhoods as fast as they can. Here’s why customers who want something better choose S. Clements Homes:
Fixed-Price Contracts
No cost-plus guessing games. When you sign a contract with us, that's your price — period. If it changes, it's because you changed something, not us.
"If you sign a contract for $450,000, it's $450,000 when we're finished."
$160 Per Square Foot
Our Standard Package includes premium features most builders charge extra for — spray foam insulation, granite countertops, tankless water heater, 8-foot doors, and more. All at $160 per square foot under roof.
"Our starting point is tenfold what most builders offer as their top end."
No Markup on Upgrades
Want to upgrade your granite or extend your hardwood floors? You pay only the price difference — no 25% markup. We pass our buying power directly to you.
"Why would I mark it up? That's shady — you're already paying me to build."
Lifetime Support
We don't disappear after the one-year warranty. If something needs attention five years from now — or twenty — you can still call us. That's how we've built our reputation across Northeast Texas.
"Your house is 20 years old? You can still call me."
