Verona is one of Dane County's fastest-growing communities, fueled in large part by Epic Systems and easy access to Madison's west side. That growth has made it a hotbed for new construction, with everything from twin homes to custom estates going up across town. Here are seven active new-construction communities worth knowing: what they're like, who builds there, and the kind of buyer each one fits.

Heads up on pricing & availability. New-construction prices, lots, and quick-move-in inventory change constantly. The tiers below are approximate as of publish, always confirm current pricing and availability before you plan around a number. I'm happy to pull live numbers for any community here.

1 Whispering Coves

Builder: Tim O'Brien Homes · Style: Single-family + condos · Tier: Mid-$400s+

One of Verona's largest master-planned communities, Whispering Coves spans roughly 170 acres west of County Highway M and south of County Highway PD. The plan calls for 200-plus traditional single-family lots, condominium-style units, and more than 43 acres of open space, a natural conservancy, playgrounds, multi-use trails, and pocket parks. It's minutes from Epic, Fitchburg, and the west side of Madison.

Best for: Buyers who want a true amenity-rich master plan with trails and green space, and an easy Epic commute.

2 Ardent Glen

Builder: Veridian Homes · Style: Single-family + twin homes · Tier: ~$440s–$720s

Ardent Glen has been one of Verona's most active new-build neighborhoods, with a steady stream of recent closings. Veridian offers a deep menu of ready-to-build plans across a range of lot sizes, including both single-family and twin-home (duplex-style) sites, plus a large neighborhood park. The variety of product makes it one of the more flexible communities for different budgets.

Best for: First-time and move-up buyers who want production-builder value and floor-plan choice.

3 Kettle Creek North

Builder: Tim O'Brien Homes / custom (Trademark Homes) · Style: Custom single-family · Tier: Upper-$600s to $1M+

On Verona's north side, north of Cross Country Road and west of Highway M, Kettle Creek North is the area's premium enclave. Buyers can build semi-custom or fully custom on larger lots, many backing to open grassy areas or a pond. It's an easy reach to the Verona Public Library, Fireman's Park, Epic, and downtown Madison.

Best for: Move-up and custom-home buyers wanting larger lots and higher-end finishes.

4 Cathedral Point

Builder: Veridian Homes · Style: Single-family · Tier: Around the Verona median

A larger, established Veridian neighborhood on the southern edge of Verona just off Highway 151, Cathedral Point pairs open floor plans and energy-efficient designs with walkable streets and neighborhood parks. Because it's more built-out, you'll often find a mix of newer construction and recent resales here.

Best for: Buyers who want a settled, family-friendly feel with quick highway access.

5 Scenic Ridge

Builder: Multiple · Style: Prairie/craftsman, transitional, ranch · Tier: Upper-$400s+

One of Verona's newer neighborhoods, Scenic Ridge offers a wide range of modern designs: prairie/craftsman, transitional, and ranch plans, many with three-car garages. Interiors lean toward open great rooms, vaulted ceilings, and well-appointed kitchens. The architectural variety gives the streetscape a custom feel.

Best for: Buyers who want modern design variety and ranch (single-level) options.

6 Hometown Grove

Builder: Multiple · Style: Single-family · Tier: Mid-$400s+

A newer single-family community that rounds out Verona's new-construction options. Like several Verona neighborhoods, it's set up to welcome a range of buyers and commonly accepts VA financing, worth flagging for veterans and active-duty buyers using their entitlement.

Best for: Buyers (including VA-eligible) looking for newer single-family inventory.

7 Cross Country Heights

Builder: Multiple · Style: Single-family · Tier: Varies

Tucked into the same north-side pocket as Kettle Creek, Cross Country Heights offers single-family homes with convenient access to Verona's parks, library, and the Epic corridor. It's a quieter option for buyers who want to be near the north-side amenities without the premium-enclave price ceiling.

Best for: Buyers wanting a north-side location with everyday convenience.

How to choose, and protect yourself

Buying new construction is different from buying a resale. A few things that matter in Verona:

Use your own agent. The on-site sales rep represents the builder. Having your own representation costs you nothing in most cases and matters during contract and walk-through.
Read the builder contract carefully. Builder purchase agreements differ from the standard WB-11 resale offer, deadlines, allowances, and contingencies are not the same.
Still get an inspection. New doesn't mean flawless. A pre-drywall and final inspection can catch issues early.
Factor in timing. Build timelines, lot premiums, and finish allowances all affect your true all-in cost.
