Upper Long Lake lies in both Bloomfield Township and West Bloomfield Township. It is a private all sports lake. Bloomfield Township only has two all sports lakes and Upper Long Lake is one of them. The lake is 130 acres though another source has it at 108 acres. Depending on who you believe it is not a overly large all sports lake. It definitely big enough for any water sports you want to do. You can ski, tube, wakeboard, or surf if you want. Some active water sports enthusiasts want at least a 200 acre lake so Upper Long Lake would not be for them. The deepest spot on the lake is 22 feet deep and the lake has a mean depth of 9.7 feet.
This is one example of the absolutely magnificent homes on Upper Long Lake
Upper Long Lake is a spring fed lake and flows into Lower Long Lake, then into Forest Lake and then into the Rouge River. The Lake flushes every 1.65 years. It is a kettle lake formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. The over all condition of Upper Long Lake in Bloomfield Mi is ranked in the top 45% of developed lakes of similar size in MI. The water clarity is between 6 foot and 14.5 foot. There is a seven acre island on the lake. What they call an island is on the north west side of the lake. There is just a narrow canal around the island. There is 17059 feet of shoreline not including the shore line of the island.
None of these homes are for sale, but just examples of the lots and nice homes on the lake. Some are smaller, others are large estate homes.
Many of the homes on the lake are custom built larger estate homes.
None of the lake homes above are for sale. I always love to show how nice the homes are and as you can see how well they are taken care of. This is a split lake in terms of municipal water and sewer. Some homes are on sewers, some have septic systems. Some lakefront homes have municipal water other have wells. You will have homes of all ages, sizes, and styles. The roads around the lake are paved. Depending on where you live on the lake will determine which school system you have. The two school systems are Pontiac Schools and Bloomfield Hills Schools. From bad to great is the difference. It doesn't slow buyers down if the luxury estate home is in Pontiac School district. They just send their children to private schools.
Let's go water skiing!
Like I indicated above there are many different sizes, ages, and styles of homes on the lake. You will still find some small 1000 square foot ranches all the way up to large luxury lake estate style homes. Many of the beautiful large homes are on the north side of the lake. Here are the basic characteristics of waterfront homes on Upper Long Lake in Bloomfield MI.

Of course this information above is not perfect. I gathered this home information from sold listings the last 20 years. Some people have lived on the lake for longer than 20 years so I have no information on their homes. This compilation may be off because one of the homes that has not sold may be bigger, small, older, or have different features. Some of the smaller lakefront homes may have been torn down and do not exist anymore. Also a new house may have been built on the lake that does not show up. The house information is just to give you a general idea of the lake homes.

Bloomfield Township is an urban community that straddles Telegraph Road. The homes in the township are well-manicured and many times larger lots than some of the other Oakland County communities. Bloomfield Township is characterized by rolling hills, winding roads, scenic lakes and streams. There are only two all sports lakes in the township and all of them are private lakes. Lake home owners use the lakes for a number of recreational pursuits, including bird watching, swimming, fishing, and boating if the lake is big enough.
If you want to live in Bloomfield, or have the Bloomfield mailing address, or be on an all sports lake in Bloomfield Township then Upper Long Lake may be the lake for you. It is a great lake to live on. Plus you have the ability to go to Lower Long Lake, and Forest Lake. However those are non all sports lakes and only allow electric motors on. So you can't run your gas motor on Lower Long Lake or Forest Lake.
Another style of home on the lake. Not for sale. Don't you love the lot? and the sprawling ranch?
