Milford Township buyers rarely want to leave the area, and they should not have to. The village's walkable downtown, the Huron River, and the surrounding parkland give this corner of Oakland County a character all its own. New construction inside the township is limited, but the good news is that you do not need to go far to find it.
Evergreen Homes builds in adjacent Commerce, close enough that Milford remains in your backyard while you move into a home that has never been lived in. A new build sidesteps the deferred maintenance and dated layouts of older houses and gives you efficiency and warranty coverage from day one. Our guide to buying new versus resale breaks down what that really means for your budget and your peace of mind.
Proximity matters more than buyers sometimes expect. Staying close to Milford means your children can keep the same friends and activities, your favorite restaurants and trails stay part of your routine, and the move feels less like uprooting and more like settling into the next chapter. The Reserve simply puts a brand-new, lakeside option within that familiar orbit.
The Reserve at Crystal Lake is a 160-acre luxury community in Commerce, just minutes from downtown Milford and built around a private 40-acre lake. With 203 premium home sites, a private beach area, a beach house, and a boat dock, it offers a true lakeside lifestyle close to home. Electric boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddle-boards are all welcome on the water. The Reserve is adjacent to the Proud Lake Recreation Area, approximately 3,000 acres along the scenic Huron River with boating access, fishing and paddling opportunities, and extensive trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, right next door. Homes start from $599,900, and this private, exclusive community was named 2025 Development of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.
Because Milford and Commerce share the Huron Valley Schools district and so much of the same scenery, the move feels less like relocating and more like upgrading.

The Reserve offers four distinct floor plans, each ready to be shaped around your family. The Avalon won a 2025 Blue Ribbon Award from the HBA and features a first-floor owner's suite with a standard 2.5-car garage. The Madison, our largest floorplan, earned 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.
From three beautiful architectural styles to choose from (think modern farmhouse and Craftsman) to the interior finishes, you get to decide. That balance of a refined, proven plan and genuine flexibility is the heart of how we build. Explore your customization choices to picture the possibilities.

At Evergreen Homes, the premium materials and amenities that set a home apart are part of the base price, not an upsell. Every home includes:
It is the kind of quality you feel every day and appreciate for years. Take a closer look at the included features so you know exactly what comes with your home.
These choices matter most over time. Andersen windows and James Hardie siding stand up to Michigan winters and summers alike, while the Ultra-Shield system helps keep the basement dry through every thaw and heavy rain. For Milford-area buyers who plan to stay put and put down roots, that built-in durability is part of what makes a new Evergreen home a sound, long-term decision.
Not everyone can wait for a home to be built from the ground up. Our quick move-in homes are already under construction or nearly done, offering a faster route into a brand-new Evergreen home. Selection changes regularly, so it pays to check what is currently available.
Few builders offer what Evergreen Homes does: an owner who shows up. Jon, the owner and builder, is on-site every day, holding each home to a personal standard earned over 25 years' experience. As a family-owned and operated builder, we answer to our homeowners, not a corporate board. Our designs have earned Blue Ribbon Awards, and The Reserve took the 2025 Development of the Year title 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.
A home at The Reserve keeps you in step with everything Milford lovers cherish. Downtown Milford's boutique shops and restaurants are minutes away, the Huron River winds through the area, and the Milford Memories summer festival draws the whole community together. Kensington Metropark, managed by the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, offers trails, beaches, and boating just down the road, while the Proud Lake Recreation Area sits right next to home. With Huron Valley Schools serving both communities, families rarely miss a beat.
Building with Evergreen Homes means starting smart and finishing personal. Choose your plan, then layer in the structural options and finishes that fit your life, whether that is a main-floor in-law suite, a second-floor loft, or a covered patio for summer evenings out back. Our team walks you through each decision so the process stays organized and enjoyable from start to move-in.
Site selection is part of the fun. With 203 premium home sites at The Reserve, you can choose a lot that frames the home the way you want, whether that means a view toward the water, a wooded edge for privacy, or an easy walk to the beach area. Matching the plan to the lot is where the home really starts to feel like yours.
New construction is more attainable than many Milford buyers assume. Our financing support connects you with preferred lenders. We help with pre-qualification and outline any current incentives so the path to your new home is clear.
Getting pre-qualified early is a smart first move. It shows you what is realistic, keeps your search focused, and helps you act quickly when a home site you love comes available at The Reserve. Our team can point you toward the right lender and answer the financing questions that naturally come up as you plan your move from Milford.
