Custom Home Builder in Grass Lake, Michigan
Village Streets and Township Acreage
Grass Lake sits about fifteen minutes east of Jackson right off I-94, and building here looks different depending on which side of the village line you land on. Strouss Construction has been building in Jackson County since 1949, with the fourth generation of the family doing the work.
Inside the village, along Michigan Avenue and the streets around the old depot, you are working with older homes on tight lots. Out in Grass Lake Charter Township it is acreage, gravel road frontage, wells, septic fields and room for a pole barn.
Where We Build Around Grass Lake
Acreage and Glacial Ground
Most of what we build in Grass Lake goes up in the township. People buy five or ten acres off Mount Hope Road, Fishville Road or one of the roads running north toward the Waterloo Recreation Area, and they want a house with a real shop behind it. This is glacial country, and kettle lakes, low marshy ground and a high water table show up in the middle of otherwise good parcels, so a perc test and a hard look at drainage come before floor plans.
In the Village and Along I-94
In the village the work is different. Older homes near Michigan Avenue and the historic depot get kitchen and bath remodels, dormers, rear additions and detached garages that have to look like they belong. Along the I-94 corridor we also build shops and small commercial buildings for owners who want to stay close to the interchange.

When we were looking for a builder for a new home, we toured a couple of Strouss homes. The build quality and attention to detail was very impressive.
