February 4, 2026Smith Douglas Homes Expands to the Gulf Coast

Smith Douglas Homes is excited to announce our expansion to the Gulf Coast, bringing our commitment to quality construction, value, and community-focused living to this growing region. This move marks an important milestone for our team as we continue to build homes designed to meet the needs of today’s buyers—without losing sight of what matters most.

Introducing Our First Gulf Coast Community: Roans Mill

Our Gulf Coast journey begins with Roans Mill, our inaugural community located in Loxley, Alabama. This thoughtfully planned neighborhood reflects our approach to homebuilding—practical design, lasting value, and locations that support everyday life.

What Makes Roans Mill Stand Out?

Convenient Location
Roans Mill offers easy access to the Gulf Coast’s well-known beaches, while still providing the comfort and convenience of a growing inland community.

Proximity to Economic Growth
The community is near the Port Alabama Industrial Center, a major logistics and manufacturing hub expected to bring new jobs and business opportunities to the area.

A Growing Local Marketplace
As the region continues to expand, new retail, dining, and service options are expected to follow—adding everyday convenience for homeowners.

Homes Designed with Purpose
Homes at Roans Mill are designed with the local climate in mind and feature open-concept layouts, functional living spaces, and carefully selected finishes that balance style and practicality.

Why the Gulf Coast?

The Gulf Coast offers more than a desirable location—it’s a place where strong communities and steady growth come together. We chose this region because it reflects what our homeowners value: attainable homeownership, thoughtful design, and long-term confidence in where they live.

“Our expansion into the Gulf Coast reflects what we consistently hear from our customers—a desire for well-constructed homes that offer real value,” said Geoff Shrewsbury, Division President. “Roans Mill is just the beginning of our investment in this region.”
