Craftsmanship
you can feel.
From the first plans to the final walkthrough, every Greatwater home is thoughtfully designed from the ground up. We build with quality materials, considered details, and the kind of craftsmanship you notice the moment you walk through the door.
Tax abatements.
Nearly all Greatwater homes in East Village qualify for the Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) tax abatement, which can significantly reduce your property taxes for up to 15 years. This benefit makes your brand-new home in Detroit even better.
Your new home
in East Village.
East Village is a neighborhood shaped by generations of Detroiters and the homes they’ve long cared for. Together, we’re building back blocks, filling long-vacant lots, and adding to the neighborhood’s rich fabric.
The easternmost neighborhood in The Villages, East Village is steps from the Detroit Riverwalk, Belle Isle, the Shepherd with its world-class art collections, and one of Detroit’s most vibrant corridors of restaurants, bars, and shops.
