Custom Home Builder in Spring Arbor, Michigan
From the Village Grid to Open Acreage
Spring Arbor sits about nine miles southwest of Jackson, the village tucked between M-60 and King Road with a full survey square of section roads around it. Building here changes block by block, and Strouss Construction has been building in Jackson County since 1949, now run by the fourth generation of the family.
Near the university you have older homes on established lots, mid century ranches and a few newer subdivision streets. A mile out you are on farm ground and woods, where a well, a septic field and a long driveway are part of the job before a wall goes up.
Where We Build Around Spring Arbor
Around the Village and Campus
Close to the village and Spring Arbor University the parcels are tight and the neighbors are close, so an addition or a garage has to work with the setbacks and the roof that is already there. Older two story homes, mid century ranches and pockets of newer subdivision lots each ask for something different, and matching what exists is most of the job.
Wet Ground and Open Parcels
Head toward Lime Lake, down Dearing Road or west along M-60 toward Concord and parcels open to five, ten and forty acres. That is barndominium and pole barn country. The springs the township is named for mean some sites sit wetter than they look, with the east side draining toward the Grand River and the west toward the Kalamazoo, so whether a full basement makes sense or a slab is the better call gets decided by the ground.

Strouss Construction did excellent work on the exterior of our home. They work great as a team, were here every day and made our project a priority. Dan Jr. and Aaron did exceptional work and communicated the whole way. I would recommend the Strouss team.
