SimplyHome & Legend Homes Named USA Today Top Workplaces

Camillo Companies is proud to announce that two of its homebuilding brands, Legend Homes and SimplyHome, have been named to the 2026 USA Today Top Workplaces list. This marks the third consecutive year Legend Homes has received the honor, and the second year for SimplyHome. 


The USA Today Top Workplaces award is based entirely on employee feedback, highlighting organizations that foster strong workplace cultures, employee engagement, and a shared sense of purpose. 


“This recognition reflects something deeper than an award,” said Dan Miller, CEO of Camillo Companies. “It speaks to how our teams show up every day — how they support one another, collaborate, and stay committed to the bigger picture. That’s what truly defines who we are.” 


This national recognition builds on the companies’ recent inclusion in the 2025 Houston Chronicle Top Workplaces list, where the SimplyHome, Legend Homes, and Camillo Companies brands were honored. Together, these accolades underscore the strength and consistency of the organization’s culture across its teams. 


“This achievement says something important in our ever-changing industry,” Miller added. “Our people continue to rise to the occasion, and that’s what sets this team apart.” 


Camillo Companies remains focused on serving customers at every stage of their housing journey, whether they choose to rent or buy. By investing in its people and culture, the organization strengthens its ability to deliver quality homes, responsive service, and lasting value to the individuals and families it serves. 


This recognition reinforces Camillo Companies’ commitment to building communities where residents feel supported and at home. As the company looks ahead, it will continue aligning its teams, resources, and innovation around one goal: providing an exceptional living experience for every customer, no matter how they choose to call a Camillo community home.
