Commerce Township sits about 35 miles northwest of Detroit, tucked into Oakland County's Lakes Area. You get the school ratings, the property values, and the low-crime feel without the gridlock most metro areas drag along with them.
Nature is the real selling point here. The Reserve borders or is adjacent to Proud Lake Recreation Area with more than 3,000 acres of trails, and it's surrounded by small lakes and waterways that shape the daily pace of life.
Families who move here usually cite the same short list of reasons why: strong schools, outdoor access, and a community feel that's harder to find closer to the city. The Reserve at Crystal Lake sits inside the Huron Valley Schools district, which draws from Country Oaks Elementary, Oak Valley Middle, and Lakeland High.
This is where we build. The Reserve at Crystal Lake is a 160-acre luxury community wrapped around a private 40-acre lake, with 203 premium home sites and a setting that feels more like a retreat than a subdivision.
What's on the grounds:
The community was named 2025 Development of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.
Resale homes in Commerce Township tend to carry older mechanicals, older layouts, and the kind of small repair list that creeps up the first year or two after closing. With new construction, you start with everything new, under warranty, and built to current code.
We've had buyers walk away from great-looking resale houses in Commerce because the cost of bringing them up to date wiped out the price gap and the time it takes to do the work negates the quicker move-in time frame.
The Reserve at Crystal Lake features four floor plans, and each one can be adjusted to fit your household.
2025 Blue Ribbon Award winner from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. One of our most popular plans, due in large part to its luxurious first-floor owner’s suite, available in multiple architectural styles, with room for flex spaces and covered outdoor living.

When people compare our homes to volume builders, this is usually where the difference shows up. Builders who sell the same floor plan across hundreds of communities often price in base finishes and charge up from there. We start higher so your base home already reflects the kind of materials most buyers end up paying extra for.
We've been building in Southeastern Michigan for 25 years. It's a family-owned operation, which sounds like a marketing line until you see what it actually changes day to day.
Jon, the owner and builder, is on-site every day. That's unusual in this industry. Buyers text him directly when they have questions. Trades know him by his first name. Problems get caught early when they’re small instead of after they’re big.
