Northville's blend of historic charm and top schools keeps demand high and new construction scarce, so buyers who want a home built for them often look just beyond the township line. Evergreen Homes builds personalized, award-winning homes in two communities near Northville, giving you a rare choice of setting. We build within our own communities on premium home sites, which keeps quality consistent and the process clear from the first visit to move-in day.
For Northville buyers, the community-based approach also removes the usual custom-build headaches. There is no scramble to find a buildable lot, no surprise expenses for utilities or site work, and no drawn-out permitting on raw land. The home sites are ready in both communities, so your focus stays on the design choices that make the home truly yours.
This community-based model is how we deliver genuine custom character at a competitive price. For a closer look at the case for new construction, see why buy new.
Our process gives you the best of both worlds: a proven foundation and the freedom to personalize:
From architecture to finishes, the choices are yours, guided by a team that builds these homes every day. Start exploring on the personalize your home page.
Across both communities, you can choose from four signature plans and personalize each. The Avalon earned a 2025 Blue Ribbon Award and features a first-floor owner's suite with a standard 2.5-car garage. The Madison, our largest floor plan, won the 2024 Blue Ribbon Award. The Newport offers the flexibility to add a third full bathroom upstairs, creating an en suite bedroom, an optional first-floor in-law's suite, or a spacious second-floor loft. The Chelsea completes the collection with four bedrooms upstairs and a second-floor laundry room.
Each community offers a different lifestyle. Here is a quick comparison:

Because the materials are the same in both, your decision comes down to setting and lifestyle rather than which home is better built. See the full list of included features.
Evergreen Homes is family-owned and operated, and Jon, the owner and builder, is on-site every day. That daily presence, paired with 25 years' experience, means each home meets his exacting personal standard rather than a corporate quota. Our work has earned Blue Ribbon Awards and the 2025 Development of the Year honor from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.
That reputation is built one homeowner at a time, and it shows in our countless 5-Star Google reviews and testimonials from families we have built for. Read our Homeowner testimonials to hear how buyers describe working with us, or meet the person behind it all, Jon, on the Meet the Builder page.
