Stonewater

About Stonewater

Stonewater sits along Six Mile Road in the western half of Northville Township, a roughly 200-home custom subdivision developed primarily in the 2000s and early 2010s as Country Club Village and Northville Hills were filling out. Lots run a quarter-acre to three-quarters of an acre, and the street plan was deliberately curvilinear to preserve mature woodland and the existing wetland network — several cul-de-sacs back to protected open space rather than other homes, a configuration buyers consistently pay up for. The Stonewater Homeowners Association maintains the entry features, ponds, and common landscaping.

The build mix is more architecturally varied than older township enclaves. Babcock, Singh, and a rotation of regional custom builders produced French Country, Hampton-style shingle, transitional Colonial, and a growing share of modern-prairie homes — typically 3,800 to 6,500 square feet with three- to four-car garages, finished daylight or walkout basements, and chef-grade kitchens with butler pantries. Stone-and-cedar exteriors are common enough that the name reads as descriptive rather than incidental. Newer resales frequently include smart-home wiring, generator transfer switches, and EV-ready garages — features that are still rare in the 1990s-era subdivisions nearby.

Location is Stonewater’s quiet advantage. The subdivision’s western boundary is roughly a half-mile from Maybury State Park — 1,000 acres of state land with paved cycling loops, equestrian trails, a working demonstration farm, and fishing ponds — which residents reach via neighborhood sidewalks without crossing a major road. Downtown Northville is a seven-minute drive east on Six Mile; the Twelve Oaks retail and dining cluster is ten minutes south via Beck. M-14 and I-275 access at Six Mile put Ann Arbor under 25 minutes and Detroit Metro Airport under 30.

Schools are Northville Public — generally Ridge Wood or Thornton Creek Elementary, Hillside Middle, and Northville High — and the subdivision’s demographic skews toward two-career families with school-aged children, with a meaningful contingent of Ann Arbor commuters who chose Northville’s district over Ann Arbor Public’s logistics. Resale velocity has historically been faster than the gated estate sections; the price band ($900K–$1.6M as of recent comps) hits a sweet spot for relocating executives who want new-construction finishes without waiting on a custom build.
