Evergreen Homes is proud to be building in a truly exceptional, award-winning community. The Reserve at Crystal Lake was recently named 2025 Development of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Southeast Michigan, an honor that recognizes communities that excel in thoughtful planning, quality execution, and long-term value. Located in Commerce Township, this premier lakefront neighborhood exemplifies what today’s homebuyers are looking for in both lifestyle and design.

The award highlights the many elements that make The Reserve at Crystal Lake stand out—from its stunning 40-acre lake and private beach amenities to the carefully planned home sites and natural surroundings that encourage outdoor living and community connection. Developments like this set a benchmark for how residential neighborhoods can successfully balance luxury, livability, and a sense of place—principles that align closely with Evergreen Homes’ approach to building.

Award winning home designs

As a builder within this award-winning community, Evergreen Homes offers a diverse collection of home designs to fit a variety of lifestyles and family needs. Homebuyers can choose from two award-winning floorplans, the Madison and the Avalon, both recognized in the HBA Parade of Homes—with the Madison earning honors in 2024 and the Avalon in 2025. These thoughtfully designed homes feature open-concept living areas, spacious owner’s suites, flex rooms, and options to personalize your home.

In addition, Evergreen Homes also offers the Chelsea and Newport floorplans within the community, providing even more flexibility when it comes to layout, size, and functionality. With four distinct designs to choose from, Evergreen Homes ensures there is a floorplan well-suited for every stage of life—whether you’re growing your family, working from home, or looking for a space designed for entertaining.
