West Bloomfield Michigan has a lot of lakes, more than many other communities in Wayne and Oakland County. Approximately 12% of the township is water. Some people refer to West Bloomfield as the "lake township of Oakland County". West Bloomfield has 24 lakes that cover about 1858.7 acres. You have a choice of many different West Bloomfield lake houses, luxury lake estates, and cottages. You will find fewer lake cottages in the township. So many of them have been torn down to make way for newer custom built homes. The small lake cottages that are left are not going to be inexpensive. You most likely are not going to find a $200,000 lake cottage in West Bloomfield. Because of the demand of lake cottages and lake homes in West Bloomfield the prices per square foot is going to be higher than some other communities. This is partly fueled by the good schools, and the desirability of living in W. Bloomfield.
