New Homes in Stafford VA at Ruby Meadows by Hour Homes Inc
Ruby Meadows is a new-construction community of single-family homes in Stafford County, VA, built by Hour Homes Inc., and right now there are two new homes under construction there that buyers can learn about with Barbara Jennings: the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1. Barbara walked both homes mid-build, and they are tentatively scheduled to be ready in December 2026 and January 2027, with builder incentives available on both. If you are searching for new homes in Stafford VA on private wooded lots just off Garrisonville Road, this post covers the Ruby Meadows community, the two models, the spec sheet downloads, trusted financing partners, and how to reach Barbara for current incentive details.
In this post I share what I saw touring these two homes under construction, describe the Ruby Meadows location and who it suits, link the official spec sheets for both floor plans, point you to my preferred lenders for new-construction financing, and answer the questions buyers ask most. As requested by the builder, this page focuses on features and community details only, so you will not see any pricing here. Current pricing and incentive terms change frequently, so the best move is to reach out to me directly and I will get you the up-to-date numbers.
About Ruby Meadows: A New-Construction Community in Stafford County VA
Ruby Meadows is a small new-construction community of single-family homes in northern Stafford County, VA (ZIP 22556), built and developed by Hour Homes Inc., a locally owned Stafford builder that has been building residential communities in the area since 1988. The community fills out a handful of homesites on approximately 3-acre wooded lots with no HOA, tucked off Garrisonville Road (Route 610) near the Quantico border. That combination makes it one of the more private new home addresses in Stafford: your own stretch of trees around the house, with the shopping, dining, and commuting routes of the Garrisonville corridor a short drive away.
The Garrisonville Road corridor is one of the most convenient parts of northern Stafford County, with grocery anchors, restaurants, fitness, and everyday services along the strip. Commuters are well served here too, with easy access to I-95 and the broader routes that connect Fredericksburg and the Marine Corps Base Quantico area with Northern Virginia. Homes in the Ruby Meadows area feed into Stafford County Public Schools, which makes the community a practical fit for growing families who want acreage without giving up convenience.
Because Ruby Meadows is a small community with a limited number of homesites, availability is scarce, and homes at this stage often sell before they finish framing. If you have been waiting on new homes in Stafford VA with wooded lots, this is one to move on quickly. See the builder's official community page at hourhomesinc.com/ruby-meadows for the full Ruby Meadows overview.
Two Models Under Construction: The Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1
I recently toured two Ruby Meadows homes while they were under construction, one on each of the community's most popular floor plans: the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1. Walking a home mid-build is a great way to see exactly what is going into the walls, and both homes are being built to a high standard by Hour Homes Inc. Here is what buyers should know about each model.
The Lee at Ruby Meadows
The Lee is a single-family floor plan by Hour Homes with an open main level, a large kitchen island, about 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, per the builder's model information. It is designed for everyday living: open common spaces for gathering, a practical bedroom count for families, and a footprint that works well on Ruby Meadows' wooded homesites. The Lee I toured is tentatively scheduled to be ready in January 2027.
The Hawthorne Deluxe 1 at Ruby Meadows
The Hawthorne Deluxe 1 is the larger two-story plan of the two, a three-car garage home with more formal and casual living space on the main level and a finished walkout basement, as built in this community. It is the plan for buyers who want generous square footage, a big garage, and room to spread out. The Hawthorne Deluxe 1 I toured is tentatively scheduled to be ready in December 2026, making it the earlier of the two move-in dates.
Rather than summarize every detail here, I am sharing the official spec sheets for both models below. They contain the full feature and finish list for each plan, straight from Hour Homes Inc.
Spec Sheets for the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1
Hour Homes Inc. provided official spec sheet PDFs for both Ruby Meadows models. Download them to compare the two plans side by side; the sheets show the full details on each home's layout, features, and finishes. No pricing is shown on this page, and the spec sheets should not be read as a price list. Contact me for current pricing and incentive terms.
Trusted Financing Partners for Your Ruby Meadows New Home
New-construction financing has its own details, from builder lender options to rate locks and closing cost timing, and having a mortgage team that knows the drill makes a real difference. I work with a short list of trusted mortgage lenders who specialize in VA, FHA, and conventional loans for buyers across the Fredericksburg and Stafford area. You can meet them on my preferred lenders page, where you will find their direct contact info and background.
Before you tour the Lee or the Hawthorne Deluxe 1, a pre-approval from one of these lenders tells you exactly where you stand and puts you in a stronger position when it is time to talk incentives and terms with the builder. Reach out to them, or ask me and I will make the introduction.

I share walkthroughs, market updates, and new construction content on my YouTube channel, including tours of new homes across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Northern Virginia. A video tour of the Ruby Meadows homes I walked is on the way, and it will be added to my channel the moment it is ready.

New Construction Questions Buyers Are Asking
Buyers researching new construction homes are asking a lot of the same questions right now. Here are the ones that come up most, answered for Ruby Meadows and for new construction buying in general.
Can I afford a new construction home right now?
The best first step is to talk with a lender about your budget, down payment options, and the monthly payment that fits your situation before you pick a floor plan. New construction financing has its own details, from builder lender options to rate locks and closing cost timing, so a mortgage team that knows the process makes a real difference. Barbara Jennings keeps a short list of trusted mortgage lenders who specialize in VA, FHA, and conventional loans, featured in the Trusted Financing Partners section of this post. A pre-approval also puts you in a stronger position when it comes time to talk incentives and terms with the builder.
What are builder incentives and how do they work?
Builders often use incentives to make a new home more attractive, and they typically come in forms like interest rate buydowns, closing cost help, or included upgrades. At Ruby Meadows, the builder, Hour Homes Inc., is currently offering incentives on the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1. The exact amounts and terms change frequently and are not published on this page, so contact Barbara Jennings at (540) 840-1133 to learn exactly what incentives currently apply and how to combine them with your own financing.
What is the timeline for a new construction home?
The Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1 at Ruby Meadows are under construction right now. As stated in this post, the Lee is tentatively scheduled to be ready in January 2027 and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1 in December 2026. Completion dates at new construction communities can shift, so Barbara recommends confirming the current timeline with her or the builder before you make plans.
What should I ask the builder before buying?
Before you sign, ask the builder about the purchase contract, the construction timeline, the inspection process, the warranty coverage, and exactly what is included in the base price. The official Lee spec sheet and Hawthorne Deluxe 1 spec sheet in the Spec Sheets section of this post show the full feature and finish list for each plan, a great starting point for your questions. Barbara Jennings can help you review the contract and compare what is included before you commit.
Is a home under construction worth touring?
Yes. Touring a home while it is being built lets you see the bones of the house, the framing, the plumbing, and how it all comes together before the walls close up. Barbara Jennings filmed walkthroughs of both the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1 at Ruby Meadows while they were mid-build, and those videos are embedded in this post so you can see for yourself what a home looks like at this stage.
How do I know if Ruby Meadows is a good fit?
Ruby Meadows is a small new construction community of single-family homes in northern Stafford County, VA, tucked off Garrisonville Road near the Quantico border, on roughly 3-acre wooded lots with no HOA. It currently offers two models, the Lee and the Hawthorne Deluxe 1, built by Hour Homes Inc. If you want privacy and trees within an easy drive of the shopping and commuting routes of the Garrisonville corridor, it could be a strong fit. See the builder's Ruby Meadows community page, and Barbara Jennings can help you compare the two models and decide which plan fits your family best.
Why use a REALTOR for new construction?

Barbara Jennings can help you understand the contract, negotiate incentives and terms, and protect your interests from the first tour to settlement. Her new construction content on YouTube, including walkthroughs of homes like the Ruby Meadows models, is linked in this post, and she is happy to answer questions about new construction across Stafford and Northern Virginia.
