Luxury home builders in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Biltmore, and surroundings
With our in-house design, architecture, and construction team, every detail flows with your family’s lifestyle.
At Emery Lane Homes, we believe a home should simplify your daily life and be designed around your family’s needs. We design and build homes that match how your family actually lives—practical, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed from the ground up.
Our mission is simple: no wasted space, no unnecessary luxury, just smart, purposeful design that enhances family life.
Do you have an in-house architect, designer, and construction team—or will you have to coordinate multiple companies yourself?
That single question can make the difference between a home that simply looks good and one that truly works for your family.
The name Emery Lane was created by co-founder Chad Klock.
A South Dakota native, Emery is the name of the small town where Chad grew up. It’s a tight-knit, small community where everyone knows each other and relationships are formed to last a lifetime. When trying to decide on a name for their newest venture, it was Chad who suggested Emery Lane Homes, as he wanted the brand to evoke the same honest, small-town feel of where he was raised.
Whether it’s a remodel or new build, Emery Lane creates homes that honor neighborhoods with impeccable craftsmanship that are designed for the lifestyle of the modern family. Which is why we want all our clients to “live life on the lane”.

A South Dakota native and former collegiate basketball player, Chad is always on the go working tirelessly for his clients and looking for the next great project for Emery Lane Homes.
