The lake is a spring fed, non motorized lake and lies in both West Bloomfield and Bloomfield Township. It is 85 acres in size and the deepest hole on the lake is 80 feet deep. There is no public access or public DNR launch. The children that live on the lake would be in the Pontiac School district. The streets around the lake are paved. The waterfront homes are on municipal water and most of the homes are on septic. There are a few homes that on sewers. It is a private lake non all sports lake. There are are no condominiums on the lake. Hammond Lake is a glacier formed lake that is very deep. I was told by one resident that it was 175′ deep but I can’t verify that.
On the north side of the lake some of the homes are on the other side of the road. There is some grass area by the lake. Some of that area is covered with large old trees providing shade. But you have to cross the road to get to the lake.
Here are the basic characteristics of the waterfront homes on Hammond Lake:
- 3-5 bedrooms
- 2-4 bathrooms
- The homes range from 1600 to over 5300 square foot
- 2-4 car garages
- The homes were built between the years of 1956 – 1997
- Some homes have basements others are on slabs or crawl spaces. Some of the basements are walkout.
There is about every type of home style that you can think of on the lake. There are contemporary homes, colonials, ranches, tudor, and split level homes.
Would you like a quieter lake without jet skis or motor boats? Would you like a lake bigger than many of the ponds that they call lakes in West Bloomfield. Then Hammond lake homes might be for you. You will find that the homes are spaced out here. They are not on the normal small 30 to 50′ lake lots that are on many lakes in Oakland County. The lake lots are wider and you will find big mature trees on the lake.

Living on the water has more benefits than it's natural beauty. It can provide health benefits that soothe the soul and offer peace and tranquility. Professors and universities have conducted research regarding our personal and emotional relationship with water, dubbing the result "Blue Mind". Water tends to draw the soul and body toward it, relieving much of our daily stress. I don't know if it because when we take vacations it is to warmer climates or to lakes, oceans, and streams. So many people go to water on vacation or for the weekend. Happiness from those memories may make all water your happy place.
