For nearly 30 years, Norfolk Homes has been constructing high-quality, innovative homes in remarkable communities throughout the Ann Arbor Michigan Region, extending all the way west to Jackson and Calhoun Counties and north to Livingston County. While other homebuilders say they’ll build a customized home, the results often fall short of expectations—but not with Norfolk. We’ve staked our reputation on giving our homeowners a wide range of choices and customizable floor plans so they can get exactly what they’re looking for. Continue reading to find out more about the nearly endless choices you’re granted and the significant role you’re given as a homeowner when you choose Norfolk Homes. 

How we’re different

At Norfolk Homes, we stand out from our competitors by placing your wants and needs at the forefront of our values. Our team believes in the importance of creative freedom in the homebuilding process, and we make it our mission to ensure that your home is uniquely and individually yours. We understand that your home should reflect who you are, how you live and what you love—which is why we leave all the important choices up to you. No two homes are exactly alike here at Norfolk Homes, and we combine our expertise with your vision to seamlessly create a home that exceeds your expectations while meeting your everyday needs. 

The choice is yours

Whether you’re looking for additional rooms, a specific plan layout, outdoor living features or anything that comes to mind for your dream home—Norfolk Homes gives you the choice. We start by meeting with you to discuss all of your wants and needs in your forever home, and from there we’ll select one of our many floor plans as a base for your home. We restructure our plan to cater to your expectations and work with you to come up with a personalized layout unlike any other home out there—and the result is an interior that’s right for you and enhances your life in every way. Plan customizations include, but aren’t limited to: 

  • Adding a finished basement
  • Choice of laundry room locations 
  • Adding en suite baths or Jack and Jill baths to bedrooms
  • Designing your kitchen layout: Choose a standard, gourmet or gourmet plus kitchen design
  • Designing your primary bath layout: Choose a grande shower, luxury shower or freestanding tub 
  • Adding a deck, sunroom or screened-in porch
  • Converting the first floor bath to a full bath
  • Converting a study, dining room or living room to a first-floor bedroom
  • Adding custom trim
  • Adding built-in storage/cubbies
  • Adding additional bathrooms
  • Increasing room sizes

After we’ve collaborated to design the perfect layout and structure of your dream home, Laura Baker, Norfolk’s interior designer, will guide you in selecting features and finishes that precisely align with what you envision at our state-of-the-art design studio. Your personalized home will include the latest in energy-efficient materials and our smart home technology package, and MIProTechs offers you a multitude of technology options to maximize your home's capabilities. Norfolk Homes is truly your one-stop shop for all of your needs—and we make it all happen by putting the decisions in your hands.

We moved back to the area and after touring several new home communities we purchased a quick move-in home from Norfolk Homes in Arlington Woods. We immediately felt at home here. Arlington Woods is very peaceful and serene, and we’ve loved getting to know our neighbors. We highly recommend this builder!
