Currently Building in Lorain County…

The best way to get to know the Wayne Homes process is always to hear about it from a homeowner. Jessica Gut is currently building in Amherst, and she shared a little about her story with us. “We chose Amherst because of the close proximity to Cleveland and the Cleveland Clinic,” Jessica shared. Amherst is located along the Ohio Turnpike which makes the commute into the Cleveland area easy and convenient. Jessica is building a Covington Classic, and she and her boyfriend, Steve, really like the area. “We’re so close to Route 90 and the Turnpike. It’s a good location and it’s still quiet while being close to amenities.”
