Echo Lake in Bloomfield Township is just a small lake that is next to Hidden Lake near the township offices. The lake is located West of Telegraph and South of W Long Lake Road. It is a private lake that is really just a pond. So you are not going to be putting a big motor boat or pontoon on Echo Lake. There are only 14 houses on the lake.
Welcome to Bloomfield MI.... a great place to live!
The lake lies entirely in Bloomfield Twp. The waterfront homes are on sewer and municipal water. The roads around the lake are paved. The children that live on the lake go to Bloomfield Hills Schools. I have no pictures of the lake at this time.
If you are buying a lake house in Oakland County you should know what negatively affects the price. Of course the normal stuff like high tension wires, house on a main road, or close to a business. But when buying a lake home parking sometimes comes into play, but the two main issues are type of lake bottom and is there vegetation in the lake. Sandy bottom homes sell quicker and fetch more money as do lake homes that do not have lily pads or lake grasses in the in front of the house. However there is no way to put a specific dollar amount on these items. It just slows the sale and homes that are sandy bottom sometimes get a little more money.
The basic characteristics of the lake homes on Echo Lake in Bloomfield are:

All of the information above was gathered from sold listings on the MLS over the last 20 years. Some homes on the lake may not have been sold during this period so this home information 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. This house information is just to give you a general idea of the houses on the lake.

Many times there is a limited number of docks and the subdivision residents have to put their name on a list and wait until somebody gives up their dock. That way the lake does not get too crowded.
