Custom Home Building in the Forest Hills Area

“Forest Hills” is a community identity more than a municipal boundary. The name refers to the Forest Hills Public Schools district, which covers Ada Township, Cascade Township, and adjacent parcels east of the Grand Rapids city limits. The school district is consistently ranked among the top in Michigan — a fact that shapes both where families choose to live and what they are willing to invest in the homes they build there.

The geography includes Thornapple River corridor properties in Ada, the established neighborhoods of Cascade Township along East Paris and Cascade Road, and wooded interior parcels that create a market where custom design is both practical and expected. High household incomes and a competitive real-estate market mean the economics of custom construction over production building work out consistently in this area.

Intricate Design serves the Forest Hills area for residential new construction from spec houses to fully custom homes. Every project runs the same arc: planning, through construction, to celebration. From architect coordination through foundation, framing, and the finishing touches that leave a mark on the house — the custom staircase, the water feature, the master bath, the hand-crafted entryway door, the hidden room. These are not options from a menu. They are what custom means here.

The scope also extends to remodeling and deck additions, and to real-estate guidance from a builder who also holds a license. In the Forest Hills market, where renovation decisions and sales decisions often happen in the same conversation, having a single person who can read both sides of that arithmetic is worth a great deal.
