James A. Lucas founded The Tar Heel Companies of North Carolina in 1976 and we remain a family owned and operated business dedicated to the families of North Carolina today. The essence of our philosophy can be summed up with one guiding principle; common sense. We believe when we treat residents fairly and with respect, give them service beyond their expectation and offer them the best housing value for their money, there can be no acceptable alternative anywhere else. In the words of Kenneth Lucas, President and CEO, "Customers are not an interuption of our work - they are the purpose for it." This brand of common sense is the foundation of our unique company and it always has been.
