If you are looking for a lakefront home in West Bloomfield then you have come to the right website. All these individual pages have in-depth lake information such as lake depth, size of the lake, and basic characteristics of the various lake homes. Here is information on Hammond Lake West Bloomfield Michigan.
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.
One winter when our real estate market was slower I poured through the old MLS listings to gather the waterfront home data. There may have been some homes that have been torn down that is included in this data. Other homes may have been built and others lake homes that have not sold in the last 20 years so I was not able to be 100% accurate because of this missing information. This is just to give you a insight into what the lake houses are like.
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.

One of the big reasons lake homes in West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills, and Bloomfield Township are the school systems. Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, and West Bloomfield are good schools. So long as the school systems are excellent the demand for the homes in the school district will be strong. When there is low crime, and great schools home buyers want to live there. It is the same way with lake homes. It determines price. For example there are some lakes in the area that have Pontiac Schools and some that are Bloomfield Hills schools. The homes in the Pontiac School district are harder to sell and sell for less than the others in Bloomfield. It is the same way with Waterford and West Bloomfield schools. Schools do make a difference. Should you not buy a house in a lesser school district? Not if you love the house ...just be aware how it will affect you. Just do not use the same comps for the good side of the lake for the lesser side
