Kristina
What began two decades ago as a vision quickly became a mission for Ken and Darci Hendrix—to redefine what it means to build a home. As lifelong Northern Nevadans, their passion for the community and their commitment to creating meaningful spaces has been the foundation of Jenuane Communities.
For Ken and Darci, Jenuane isn’t just a company—it’s family. Inspired by their middle names, Jean and Duane, the name Jenuane (pronounced “Jen-you-in”) embodies love, commitment, and trust. “Putting our name on every home means we all need to meet our high standards, and we are grateful for every homeowner who puts their trust in us.” Darci shares.
“We Buy Here. We Build Here. We Live Here.” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a way of life. Ken and Darci’s family lives, works, and thrives in the very communities they build. “It’s not just about building homes; it’s about investing in Northern Nevada,” Ken says.
Recognized as a multi-year winner of the ‘Best of Reno’ - Home Builder category award, Jenuane Communities stands apart by combining a local-first philosophy with unparalleled craftsmanship—evident in our thoughtfully designed floorplans, premium finishes, and consistent recognition for build quality and customer satisfaction. Their team works tirelessly to create homes that are as beautiful as they are enduring.
For Ken and Darci, the heart of their work lies in the stories unfolding within each home. They find the most meaning in everyday moments—like a homeowner realizing her childhood dream of living near her best friend, or glimpses of neighborhood joy during a front-yard birthday party. “It’s the best part of what we do,” Darci reflects.
As they look to the future, their vision extends beyond individual homes to the legacy Jenuane leaves behind. “We want to create neighborhoods where people feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow,” Ken shares. “Streets lined with well-cared-for homes that represent more than shelter— they’re the foundation for meaningful lives and strong communities.”
Jenuane Communities is more than just a homebuilder; it’s a partner in shaping vibrant neighborhoods where people flourish, connections grow, and dreams find their foundation. They care about being Genuinely Jenuane.
