Ryder Homes is a family-owned homebuilder and real estate company founded in 1959 by Ned Ryder, and is led by his son, Jay Ryder. The firm maintains regional offices in Walnut Creek, California, and Reno, Nevada, serving homebuyers in Northern California and Northern Nevada. Rather than replicating a single design across developments, Ryder Homes crafts homes tailored to the unique characteristics of each community and backs them with an in-house home warranty program. The company is among the nation’s top 200 building firms and the largest privately held homebuilder in Northern Nevada, reflecting its scale and focus on quality craftsmanship. Since its inception, the company has developed residential communities in more than 20 counties across California and Nevada, demonstrating a long-standing regional footprint. In recent years, Ryder Homes has engaged in community initiatives and received recognitions, including a February 2025 designation as a Champion-level Community Partner at Fremont Elementary.
