Welcome to Mantua
New homes $365s – $800s+A place where neighborly charm, timeless streets, and modern homes come together to create something truly special. Nestled just minutes from downtown, Mantua offers the ease of small-town living with all the benefits of modern life. Here families don’t just find homes – they join a small town with a big story – where connection runs deep and and every day feels like home. Our story began over 150 years ago with railroads, settlers, founding families, and a schoolhouse that brought community together. Beneath wide, open skies, Mantua is more than a new home community – it’s the start of a new chapter in a story that already feels familiar. From neighbors to nature and vibrant amenities to front porches made for lingering – every detail invites you to slow down, settle in, and feel at home.
