Vernor is a small private lake that is more of a pond than a big lake. It isn't very big, but big enough to give you a sense of relaxation. You will have the geese, and the ducks, and other wildlife coming to use the lake. There are about 31 lakefront homes on Vernor Lake in Bloomfield Township. The children that live on the lake go to Bloomfield Hills schools. The are some residents that spell it Vernier Lake too. It was named after the Vernor family who had an estate home at Lone Pine and Lasher Roads. I would imagine that the lake was part of their property at one time.

All the roads around the lake are paved. The homes are on municipal water and most are on sewers. There are a few homes that have not hooked up to the sewer yet. They will have to when their septic system fails. The homes were built between the years of 1966 -1972. So they are similar in home styles and brick exteriors.
This home is not for sale, just an example of the fine homes on the lake
Many of these lake houses are on lots that are over a 1/2 acre up to an acre. The styles of the lake homes are ranches, colonials, and contemporary. The basic characteristics of Vernor lake homes are:
* 3 to 6 bedrooms
* 2 to 4 car garages (mainly 2 car)
* 3 to 7 bathrooms
* the square footage ranges from 3000 to over 5000 square feet
* most of the homes have basements, some are walkout. There are a few homes on crawl and slabs.
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.
A relaxing lake for you
