What a view from the house.
Bloomfield Hills is just a small city that is only about five square miles in size. It is completely surrounded by Bloomfield Township. Much of the city is residential and known for being a prestigious city. It has many large estate style homes and luxurious mansions in beautiful settings. Many of the homes are on larger lots and surrounded by mature tall trees. Only about eight percent of the city is water. There are only a few named lakes in the area. They are Vhay Lake, Lake Placid, Endicott Lake, Kern Lake, Shorewood Lake (a small part of it lies in the city and Kingswood Lake that lies in the Cranbrook School grounds. The lake homes are high-end and exclusive. They are similar in that they are all private, non all sports lakes that are pond like lakes or very little lakes. So they do not offer boating or activities like tubing, or skiing. However there are many other ways to indulge in various types of waterfront living such as swimming, fishing, and wildlife watching. Living on any size lake makes life a little better. Something about being near water gives the home owners happiness.
