Lakefront homes for sale Waterford Michigan

Waterford Twp Lakes

Are you moving to Waterford Michigan and looking for a waterfront home? Waterford is just about in the center of Oakland County, Michigan. It is a popular city that has a population of about 72,000 residents. This city is known as the “Lakeland Paradise,” because of the 34 lakes it has to offer its residents, businesses and visitors.  There are many beautiful lakes like Maceday Lake in Waterford and so many wonderful lakefront homes.  Waterford is what I would call a middle class community.  You are not going to find lots of luxury estate homes here.  It is a very solid community with good city services.   community The average home value in Waterford is $144,700 and the average household income is $54,731 in 2013.  I have another whole page on Waterford real estate on this site.  If you are looking to buy in the area give us a call at (248)310-6239.  I know the Waterford area well and have helped many Waterford relocation buyers in the last year.       

So where will be the upper end lakefront homes in Waterford?  You will find luxury estate style homes on Cass Lakes. You will also find some on Elizabeth, Williams, Maceday, Lake Oakland, Watkins, Loon, and Lotus.  The most expensive lake homes (price per square foot) will most likely be on Cass Lake.  If you are comparing West Bloomfield lakefront homes to Waterford lake houses you will find more expensive homes in West Bloomfield.  And more of them.  Waterford lake homes are more reasonably priced per square foot.  Some of that reasoning may be because Waterford's schools are not as highly ranked as West Bloomfield's schools.

If you are looking for a good lake realtor to help you find the best deals on a lake home we know the local lakes and can save you lots of time and you find a nice SE Michigan lake home.

Next question you may have is where can you avoid the mish mash of old and new homes?  If you are looking for a waterfront home in more of a subdivision or similar style and setting of homes then you will find similar brick lake houses on Loon Lake, Wormer Lake, Pleasant Lake, School House, and Huntoon Lake. 

Most of the other lakes in Waterford have both old and new homes side by side.  You may have a smaller 1200 square foot vinyl sided ranch next to a 2500 square foot brick colonial.  Here is some Waterford lake homes for sale
