Custom Home Builder in Cascade, Ada and Forest Hills
Highline Homes builds custom homes on the east side of Grand Rapids: Cascade Township, Ada Township and the Forest Hills area. We build on your lot, and we publish what our finished homes actually cost.
What building in Cascade, Ada and Forest Hills is like
Established neighborhoods, fewer open lots
Much of Cascade, Ada and Forest Hills is built out, so many projects are on a lot someone already owns, in a newer subdivision with covenants, or a teardown-and-rebuild. We handle all three.
Covenants and architectural review
East-side subdivisions often set minimum square footage, exterior materials and plan review. We ask for them before the site visit so they’re in the estimate from day one.
Rivers and rolling land
The Grand and Thornapple rivers bring walkout lots and views, and in some places floodplain or wetland areas to map before you design.
Utilities vary
Many neighborhoods have public sewer and water; rural parcels rely on a well and septic permitted through the Kent County Health Department.

Can you build in a subdivision with covenants?
Yes. We design to the covenants, prepare the architectural review package, and build the review time into your schedule.

Most of our fully custom homes land between $600,000 and $1.5 million for the home, before land. The lot, site work and finish level drive the number more than square footage. See the full breakdown.
