Evergreen Homes builds personalized, award-winning homes inside its own communities, and the community that serves Plymouth buyers is The Meadows of Cherry Hill in Canton, right on the Plymouth border. It sits about 10 minutes from downtown Plymouth and, importantly, inside the same Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district many local families already know.
Most builders marketing to Plymouth buyers are lot builders: you supply the land, they build a single house, and both the timeline and the budget stay open-ended. Our approach is different, and the difference works in your favor. You begin with a floor plan that has already been refined and awarded, you see the starting price before you commit, and you settle into a real neighborhood rather than an isolated parcel. Proven plans also mean a more predictable schedule from the start.
We call it the best of both worlds: the character of a custom home without the guesswork of a blank page. The process moves through three clear stages.
The Meadows offers three floor plans - the Madison, Newport, and Chelsea - each available in Craftsman, Farmhouse, or Eastern Seaboard styling, so no two homes on the street look the same. The Madison earned a 2024 Blue Ribbon Award from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan, part of a back-to-back run alongside the 2025 Blue Ribbon that went to Evergreen Homes’ Avalon plan in the Reserve at Crystal Lake in Commerce, MI.
| Plan | Best For | Signature Features |
|---|---|---|
| Madison | Families who entertain | Great room open to the kitchen, a formal dining room plus a breakfast nook, and a flex room; 2024 Blue Ribbon Award winner. |
| Newport | Multi-generational living | An extended covered front porch, with an optional finished loft or a main-level in-law suite configuration. |
| Chelsea | Right-sized luxury (2,570 sq ft) | A first-floor flex room, four upstairs bedrooms, and a second-story laundry room. |
The Meadows of Cherry Hill is an intimate community of 38 large premium lots, designed to feel like a neighborhood rather than a sprawling development. Tree-lined streets and deep front porches set the tone, and the smaller scale means faster build-out and a tighter-knit set of neighbors. Pricing starts from $624,900.
Location is a big part of the appeal. The community is minutes from Cherry Hill Village and the Village Theater, and it feeds into Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. For more on the surrounding area, the Canton, Michigan resources page covers parks, schools, and daily life in this part of Wayne County.
This is the claim that sets the page apart, honestly: The Meadows is about 10 minutes from Kellogg Park in the heart of downtown Plymouth, and it is served by Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, the very district many Plymouth families are already in. You are not trading your school district or your favorite downtown to build new. You keep the community you know and add a brand-new, personalized home to it. Workman Elementary, Pioneer Middle, and Canton High are the currently assigned schools.
What some builders charge extra for, we build in from the start. Every Evergreen homes at The Meadows includes a deep list of standard features:
Included quality like this is value you can see and touch. It also protects your budget, because these premium features which other builders charge more for as upgrades are already included in the base price of the home.
Evergreen Homes is family-owned and operated, with 25 years' experience building across Southeastern Michigan. Jon, the owner and builder, is on-site nearly every day during construction, so the person accountable for your home is the one actually building it, not a corporate manager rotating through. Buyers say as much in our homeowner reviews, describing the experience as honest, responsive, and fair.
The work has earned recognition, including a 2024 Blue Ribbon Award for the Madison plan and 2025 Development of the Year for Evergreen Homes’ Reserve community, both from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. Set next to the field of Plymouth-area lot builders, the practical differences are clear: proven award-winning plans, published pricing, a real community, and a faster, more predictable timeline.
Downtown Plymouth is one of the most walkable, event-filled downtowns in the metro area, and living at The Meadows keeps it close. Kellogg Park anchors the district, with the Penn Theatre, the summer farmers market, and the winter ice festival drawing crowds all year. Hines Park adds miles of trails and river along the eastern edge of town.
Getting around is easy, with M-14 and I-275 both minutes away for commutes toward Ann Arbor, Detroit, and the airport. Because The Meadows shares the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district, families can move into a new home without leaving the schools and the town they already call home.
Typical build times run about 10 to 12 months from signing. If you need to be settled sooner, our quick move-in homes are already under construction or near completion, so you can move without designing a home from scratch. Inventory changes as homes sell, so ask what is currently available.
