Custom Home Builder in Apex, NC
Apex calls itself the Peak of Good Living, and the people who move here tend to agree. Gemstone builds custom homes across Apex, from cottages steps from downtown to custom homes on lots of your own.
Apex earns the slogan. We build to match.
Gemstone Homes is a custom home builder in Apex. We have 12 custom infill homesites in Downtown Apex from the $700s, a short walk from historic downtown. These are custom homes on small walkable lots, not a production street on the edge of town. Hinton Street and West Chatham Street cottages use the Downtown Apex contact, not a second form. We also build on your lot. Ken Godwin and Chris Schiavone lead Gemstone from the Triangle. Call 919-355-6549 or request information for Downtown Apex.
A walkable historic downtown, tree-lined streets, and a reputation that keeps drawing families to the west side of the Triangle. Apex is a place people choose on purpose, and a home here should feel just as considered.
We are a Triangle builder, not a national outfit running an Apex division. When you call, you reach our office, and a Gemstone project manager runs your jobsite through the final walkthrough.
Gemstone is a Parade of Homes Gold winner. What that reflects is the part we care about: the standards other builders quote as upgrades are simply how we build.
We also build in Fuquay-Varina and Wake Forest.

White brick and slate, an arched entry, and a resort-style pool out back. Inside, a navy chef's kitchen, a private home office, and a spa-style primary bath. A custom home designed to its lot and its family, from the ground up.

Apex, NC · The Cottages
Two tall, narrow cottages built for walkable in-town living, a short stroll from the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Apex. Three levels of thoughtful space, a chef's kitchen, and a linear fireplace anchoring the great room.

The difference between two homes at the same price per square foot is almost always where the money went. We put ours into the parts of a home you do not see on a spec sheet but live with every day. Our cost-to-build guide breaks down exactly what drives the number.
