June 20, 2025

Building a brand-new home isn’t just a step—it’s a journey. When you build with a trusted, reputable builder like Norfolk Homes, you’re investing in a personalized experience that prioritizes your future, especially in a community like Fosdick Glen of Saline.

When you choose to build a new home in this Saline community, you’re choosing the serenity of open space, the convenience of being just 8 miles from downtown Ann Arbor, and the confidence of working with a local builder who’s been crafting homes across Southeast Michigan for decades.

Whether you're relocating from out of state or simply ready for more room to grow, new homes in Saline—specifically in Fosdick Glen—are capturing the attention of buyers who want the best of both worlds: peaceful surroundings and proximity to everything Ann Arbor has to offer.

So, what’s it really like to build your home here? Let us walk you through it.

A place that feels like home, before you even build

First, let’s start with the setting. Fosdick Glen of Saline is a stunning land preservation community with over 34 acres of open space. That means scenic views, winding roads and generously sized homesites—not to mention access to some of the best parks, trails and recreation in the area.

You’re just 2.5 miles from historic downtown Saline, which offers small-town charm and community-focused living. Additionally, you’re part of the Saline Area School District—ranked among the top 10 in Michigan.

But don’t let the peaceful setting fool you—Ann Arbor is just minutes away. Whether you’re commuting to the University of Michigan, exploring the cultural scene downtown or heading to a game at the Big House, everything you love about city life is right down the road.

Choosing the right floor plan (and making it yours)

Our team of experts knows no two homeowners are alike—and that’s why Fosdick Glen offers a wide variety of thoughtfully designed single-family floor plans, all of which can be personalized to fit your lifestyle.

Is your dream stately and elegant with spacious rooms? The Chesterfield or Malden might be perfect for you. Looking for main-level living with smart use of space? The Kensington or Springfield could be the ideal fit. Need flexibility for a multigenerational household? The Edinburgh offers an optional multigenerational suite that’s hard to find anywhere else.
