Northville Township blends historic charm with sought-after schools, which keeps demand high and brand-new construction scarce. Buyers who want a home that has never been lived in often have to look just beyond the township line, and that is exactly where Evergreen Homes builds.
We offer two communities within an easy drive, giving Northville-area buyers a rare choice: a lakeside setting in Commerce or a porch-lined neighborhood in Canton. Either way, a new home means modern efficiency, lower maintenance, and a layout shaped to your life. Our guide to buying new explains why so many buyers prefer starting fresh.
Having two options also means you can match the home to the life you want, not just the budget. If weekends on the water and a private beach sound right, Commerce makes sense. If you would rather have a classic front porch a few minutes from Canton's shops, Cherry Hill Village and the Village Theater, the Meadows fits. Both keep you close to Northville's schools, downtown, and parks while giving you a home that starts clean and current.
The Reserve at Crystal Lake centers around a private 40-acre lake with a boat dock, where electric boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards are welcome, and it is adjacent to the Proud Lake Recreation Area. It is a private, exclusive community and the 2025 Development of the Year named by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. The Meadows of Cherry Hill offers a more traditional neighborhood feel close to Canton's amenities. Both put you within easy reach of Northville.
Distance is part of the appeal in both directions. The Meadows keeps you close to Canton shopping and the Plymouth area, while The Reserve trades a few extra minutes for lake access and the trails of the Proud Lake Recreation Area. Either way, Northville Township stays an easy drive, so the move feels like adding options rather than giving anything up.

Across our communities, you can choose from four signature floor plans and personalize each one. 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 floorplan, 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.
From three beautiful architectural styles to choose from (think modern farmhouse and Craftsman) to the interior finishes, you get to decide. Discover the full range of customization options available on every plan.
Evergreen Homes includes premium features as standard across both communities:
These are quality materials chosen to last. See the complete list of included features to understand the value built into every home.
Because both communities share the same standard of quality, your decision comes down to setting and lifestyle rather than which home is better built. Whether you choose the lakeside calm of Commerce or the porch-lined streets of Canton, the materials inside are the same dependable selections, chosen to look and last well for years and hold their value near Northville.
If your move cannot wait for a full build, our quick move-in homes are under construction or nearly finished and ready sooner. Inventory shifts between both communities, so checking current availability is the best way to find a fast option near Northville.
Having two communities in the mix actually improves your odds of finding a home on your timeline. A quick move-in might open up in Commerce one month and Canton the next, so it is worth keeping an eye on both. Each still includes the premium finishes and quality you would expect from a fully custom Evergreen Homes build.
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 is held to an exacting personal standard rather than a corporate quota. Our work has been recognized with Blue Ribbon Awards and the 2025 Development of the Year honor from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.
Our homeowners tell the story best, with countless 5-Star Google reviews and testimonials echoing the same themes of trust, fairness and responsiveness. Read the testimonials to hear from buyers, or learn about Jon's approach on the Meet the Builder page.
A home in either community keeps Northville close. Downtown Northville is known for its Victorian charm, Friday-night concerts, and a popular farmers market, while Maybury State Park and Hines Park offer trails and open space nearby. With I-275 and M-14 close at hand and the acclaimed Northville Public Schools serving the township, families enjoy small-town character with quick connections across metro Detroit. Both Canton and Commerce keep you tied into that lifestyle.
Building with Evergreen Homes gives you the best of both worlds: a proven plan and the freedom to make it your own. Choose your style, add structural options like a loft or in-law suite, and select finishes that reflect your taste. Our team helps you weigh each choice so the process stays clear and rewarding.
The choice extends to where your home sits. At The Reserve, 203 premium home sites let you pick a lot that suits how you want to live, from a lakeside view to a wooded edge, while The Meadows offers large lots with room for landscaping and curb appeal. Pairing the right plan with the right site is where a new build stops feeling like a model and starts feeling like home.
New construction can be more attainable than expected. Our financing resources connect you with preferred lenders and explain construction loan options. We help with pre-qualification and outline any current incentives so you can plan your move with confidence.
With two communities at two starting prices, there is room to match a home to your budget as well as your taste. Getting pre-qualified early helps you see where you stand and move quickly when the right home site opens up. Our team can point you toward a preferred lender and walk through the options whenever you are ready.
