Our Story

Drew and Sue Stoddard have built their lives and business around a passion for high-quality craftsmanship and homebuilding. Drew’s career began in Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara, California, where he made a name for himself building luxury cliffside ocean-view homes. This experience, in one of the most demanding and prestigious markets, honed his skills and dedication to creating homes that combine both artistry and functionality.

In the early 1990s, Drew and Sue relocated to Prescott, Arizona, drawn by the area's natural beauty and small-town charm. It was here that they founded Stoddard Lifestyle Homes, establishing a legacy of luxury homebuilding that reflects both quality and livability. Over the years, their business has evolved from fully custom homes to focusing on curated floor plans that meet the needs of today’s homeowners. Prescott has become not just a place to work but their home, where they’ve raised their family and contributed to the community through their superior craftsmanship and passion for high-end homes. The Stoddards' dedication to both the local community and their craft has solidified their position as one of Prescott’s premier homebuilders.
