History

The company was founded in 1984 by Alan Gillespie, related to Ed Ryan, the founder of Ryan Homes. Heartland began focusing exclusively on the South Hills region of Pittsburgh. In the following years, Heartland exclusively built for townhome communities and volume communities before opening its first master planned community, Meadowbrook, in 1992.
In 2000, the company started building Northridge in Ohio Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and in 2001, the company started building Valleybrook Farms in Adams Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.
In May 2003, the company started a development in Peters Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
In 2006, the company announced a 217 single-family home development in Moon Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Heartland was far less affected by the United States housing bubble collapse than companies in other areas of the country since Pittsburgh experienced steady housing prices during the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
In 2009, Heartland Homes expanded into its second state, opening a property in Monongalia County, West Virginia.
In 2009, sales fell 8%, which was a much better performance than competitors.
In March 2011, the company announced a new 19-home community in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.
In August 2011, the company was featured on the HGTV show Showhouse Showdown.
In October 2012, the company announced plans to build 300 homes in the North Hills suburb of Pittsburgh.
In November 2012, the company pitched a plan to build 30 homes in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania.
In December 2012, Heartland Homes was acquired by NVR, Inc.
