West Bloomfield Lakefront Living and More...

Living on the lake, with a lakefront home in West Bloomfield Michigan is a dream come true for some buyers. Being that many of West Bloomfield Lakes are only 75 miles from Downtown Detroit and so close to many of our business centers like Troy, Southfield, Novi, and Auburn Hills makes it ideal for year round living.  I have broken down the size of lakes in Bloomfield and West Bloomfield lakes sizes and depths to help you.

There are probably several thousand lakefront properties on West Bloomfield's 35 named lakes. There are also 34 named lakes in Bloomfield.  There are many beautiful custom built waterfront homes in the community.   There are very few small homes or old cottages left on the lakes.  Some lakes have none of the old small lake cottages left. They have been torn down to build newer homes.   You will also find some  vacant lakefront properties on the local lakes.

I have been living here for many years and know the area very well. I will work with you to find the best lake house around the West Bloomfield area. ​

Nothing beats views of the lake when you wake up in the morning.  Imagine having coffee while watching the wild ducks and geese swimming by.  Or imagine a hard day at work and coming home to relax on your deck with a cold drink in your hand watching the sun go down and your stress melting away.  The amazing views of the West Bloomfield's lakes will add years to your life.  Cass Lake is West Bloomfield's largest lake at 1280 acres and is about a mile long. There are 7 big all sports lakes in West Bloomfield.  While Cass Lake is a large lake, it also means that buying a home on the lake comes with a higher price than not living on the lake.  You have to throw away the belief that you can buy a lake home for the same cost as a non lake home.  Waterfront homes in West Bloomfield command a higher price for several reasons:

• The award winning West Bloomfield schools
• The prestige and demand of living in W Bloomfield
• Closeness of West Bloomfield to Telegraph and Orchard Lake Road which allows you shorter commute times to work as compared to many other lakes in Oakland County.

W Bloomfield Waterfront Home Options:

The prices range from $150,000 for a canal front home or a fixer upper to several million for a newer custom built house with many of today's most wanted features like open layouts, gourmet kitchens, master bedroom suites, 3+ car garages, and walk out basements.  You can find exquisite estates on the Cass, Pine, and Walnut Lake to name a few of them.

One lake home that was on the market with acres to call your own. This home also includes a barn with 15 stalls for your horses.  There are quite a few lake properties that are over an acre in the area.  

Some of the lakefront homes are on West Bloomfield or Bloomfield all sports lakes that will allow you to pull the children or grandchildren in any water activity you want.  Whether it is tubing, surfing, skiing, or wakeboarding the Bloomfield/West Bloomfield area has a lake for you.

I will show you lake homes around West Bloomfield or any community in the  Metro Detroit area.  Being a lake person myself (I live on White Lake) I know the values of lake real estate as well as current trends. With my knowledge of the local lakes I can save you time and help you from buying on the wrong lake or on the wrong spot of a lake.  Before you make an offer on a lake property here we will make sure you understand whether it is a seller's market or buyers market and help you put together an offer tht helps the seller to accept your offer.
