West Bloomfield Canal front homes for sale as of 12/1/2018

Here is the list canal front homes for sale in West Bloomfield as of today.  Whether it is a Cass Lake canal front home or an Upper Straits Lake canal front home you get the whole benefit of lake living.   Some of the pros of buying a canal home in Oakland County are:

1. Cost of buying a canal front home is less expensive than buying a lakefront home
2. A canal front home give you the access to the lake without the noise, and waves associated with a lake home
3. You will get more home for the money and a bigger lot most likely than you would for the same money for a lake home
4. A Canal home has low traffic in front of it.

Canals are sometimes narrow

Here are the cons of buying a canal front home in SE Michigan:

1.  You do not get the big expansive lake view.  Many times on a canal you are looking out to a neighbor just like across the street.
2. Many times the canal water is stagnant,  full of algae, or debris
3. Most times the canal bottom is mucky making it hard to swim in

Sometimes canals have lily pads and cattails on the sides of them

The key is if you can’t afford a true lakefront home a canal front home gets you on the lake.  It is a great deal if you are a boater and want to be on the lake.  Plus on most lakes there is either a shallow area to swim at or people jump off the boat in the middle of the lake so it is no big deal to live on a canal.  I have had clients buy on canal home and they love it.  It was the most affordable way to get on a lake for them.  They didn’t have big money to buy the type of lakefront home they wanted
