How to read this list
Each count comes from the builder credits on LIQWD's project pages. A joint venture counts for every partner, so the communities in the table add up to more than the city has. A community counts as active unless it is sold out or finished and no longer selling; rentals are left out. Homes announced and starting prices are the builders' own published figures, and a builder that does not publish one is left out of that table rather than ranked low. Nothing here rates a builder's quality. The list is recomputed on every visit.
