Silvergrass is the first new single-home community in Mattawan in more than a decade, offering affordable living options in an award-winning school district.

Silvergrass has an open feel, located across the street from the town baseball diamonds and within walking distance of Mattawan Consolidated School campus. Those residing in Silvergrass enjoy a peaceful setting in a charming community while benefitting from city utilities.

Mattawan is considered by many in Southwestern Michigan to be the best place to raise a family in a rural setting while staying connected with happenings in the greater Kalamazoo area. Stores, fitness centers and convenient shopping options keep folks close to home much of the time, but Kalamazoo is an easy commute.
