East West Communities pioneered the masterplanned community concept approximately 35years ago with Brandermill, just outside Richmond,Virginia. Situated on a 1700-acre lake, Brandermillwas one of the first financially successful plannedcommunities to combine homes with offices,schools, churches, shopping centers, and a widearray of recreational facilities. Brandermill was anundisputed success; in 1977 it was named “TheBest Planned Community in America” by theNational Association of Home Builders and BetterHomes & Gardens Magazine.
We continue to build on our foundation ofachievement and creativity. Superior home designand innovative amenities like GardenGolf™,FunHouses™, children’s water parks, Tom Sawyerisland playgrounds, skating rinks, bike tunnels,and waterfront amphitheaters continue to attractand delight new home buyers, and keep EastWest Communities on the cutting edge of thiscompetitive industry.

“East West Communities has a long
history of working cooperatively with
