Different Types of New Home Construction

At Robertson Homes, we’re proud to offer a diverse range of housing options designed to fit the evolving lifestyles of homebuyers across Detroit and the surrounding suburbs. From spacious new home design builds to efficient townhomes in Detroit, MI, our communities are thoughtfully designed with flexibility, quality, and modern living in mind. While each of these options offers a unique set of features, all of our homes are built with the same commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and long-term value.

Whether you're ready to put down roots, prioritize affordability, or simply prefer the freedom of maintenance-free living, Robertson Homes offers flexible living solutions that support your goals at every stage of life. Here’s a detailed look at the different types of new home construction you’ll find with Robertson Homes.

Our single-family homes are ideal for buyers looking for a more private, spacious residence within a vibrant, well-connected community. These homes provide ample space for growing families, remote workers, or those who want more room to spread out and entertain.

• Flexible Floor Plans: Choose from a wide variety of layouts that suit your lifestyle, with options that include open-concept kitchens, bonus rooms, lofts, home offices, and finished basements. These adaptable floor plans are designed to grow with your needs.
• Outdoor Space: Each home includes a private yard, offering the opportunity for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or creating a relaxing personal oasis. Larger lots also provide space for additions such as patios or outdoor kitchens.
• Garage and Storage: All of our new home builds come with attached garages and thoughtfully designed storage solutions, such as mudrooms, walk-in closets, and built-in shelving to keep your home tidy and functional.
• Energy Efficiency: Our homes are constructed using modern building techniques and materials that support energy efficiency, including high-performance insulation, ENERGY STAR-rated appliances, and strategic window placement to maximize natural light.
• Neighborhood Amenities: Many of our single-family communities offer walking trails, green spaces, play areas, and other features that promote a strong sense of community and enhance day-to-day living.

Our new townhome builds are the perfect fit for buyers who want a balance between privacy, affordability, and low-maintenance living. Townhomes offer the convenience of a lock-and-leave lifestyle while still delivering the look and feel of a full-sized home.

• Modern Layouts: Multi-level floor plans maximize square footage while maintaining cozy, defined spaces for living, dining, working, and relaxing. Open-concept main floors and private upper-level bedrooms offer the best of both worlds.
• Contemporary Finishes: From sleek cabinetry to durable countertops, modern flooring, and energy-efficient windows, each townhome is outfitted with carefully selected finishes that reflect today’s design trends and support everyday functionality.
• Community Living: Residents enjoy access to shared green spaces and community amenities without the upkeep of a large yard. Exterior maintenance is handled by the professionally run homeowner’s association, giving you more time to focus on what matters most.
• Urban Appeal: Many of our townhome communities are located in vibrant areas near downtowns, shopping centers, and transit options, offering residents the ability to enjoy a connected, walkable lifestyle close to everything Southeast Michigan has to offer.

For those seeking the convenience of condo living with the privacy of a single-family home, our detached ranch condos offer the best of both worlds. These homes are especially popular among empty nesters, retirees, and buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort or independence.

• One-Level Living: Designed with accessibility and ease in mind, these homes feature open-concept layouts with everything on one floor, no stairs required. Enjoy spacious living areas, generous kitchens, and private owner’s suites, all thoughtfully laid out for effortless everyday living.
• Private Yet Connected: Unlike traditional condos, these are fully detached, giving you the privacy of your own home along with the benefits of a close-knit, low-maintenance community.
• Modern Comforts: Each home includes high-end finishes like granite or quartz countertops, energy-efficient appliances, and large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Many also offer attached garages, covered patios, optional finished lower levels and flexible bonus spaces.
• Worry-Free Lifestyle: Say goodbye to yard work and exterior upkeep—these homes are part of professionally managed communities where maintenance is taken care of for you. It’s the ideal setup for a lock-and-leave lifestyle or simply more time to enjoy the things you love.

No matter the type of construction, all Robertson Homes customers benefit from our award-winning Design Studio.

• On-Trend Selections: We stay current with the latest design styles and innovations, so your home reflects contemporary aesthetics and functionality. From neutral palettes to vibrant accents, we offer something for every taste.
• Quality First: Every finish available through our studio has been hand-selected for durability, appearance, and long-term value. We source from trusted manufacturers to ensure your home looks beautiful and stands up to everyday life.
