Family Business,
Rooted in Lexington

Westview Homes Development is a family-owned business rooted in Lexington, MA, with a legacy spanning over 30 years. Founded by Jim Barr, a local builder who has crafted over 100 homes in town, our team has a deep understanding of the Lexington area and a dedication to quality.

Jim’s son, Michael Barr, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance from San Diego State University, joined the family business after college and developed his skills under Jim’s guidance. Today, Michael focuses on building custom homes for clients throughout Lexington and the surrounding towns, while Jim continues to operate our speculative home development for sale to the market. Together, they bring beautiful, modern homes to life in Lexington, combining expertise with a commitment to excellence.

Our family business also includes Jim’s daughter and Michael’s sister, Kristina, who assists with client management and interior design, making the selection process easier and more enjoyable for our clients. Jim’s wife, Ann Marie, a well-established real estate agent in Lexington, leads The Westview Group with Barrett Sotheby’s, providing clients with invaluable insights and guidance in the local market.

As a family, we bring a wealth of experience and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional homes to our clients. We’re proud to have built a brand and reputation in Lexington, with many more beautiful homes to come!

  • "We hired Westview Homes Development for our custom build and our new house is exactly as what we had envisioned. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and communication was outstanding. Mike, Jim and the team did an amazing job, the house was not only completed on time but also came in under budget. Our build took less than 7 months from the time of demolition to the day we moved in... My family and I could not be more happy with our new home and the whole experience during construction. Highly recommend Westview!"
