Maxfield Lake Location
Maxfield Lake is located in Hartland Township Livingston County MI. It is south of M-59/Highland Rd and east of US-23. Maxfield Lake is located south of Handy Lake and to the east of Long Lake.
In some city subdivisions there is the keep up with the Joneses mentality. Wish I could say that keeping up with the Joneses does not apply on the lakes. It does unfortunately with some of the lake home owners when it comes to boats and toys. Who has the fastest Jet Ski, or the most expensive boat? The keeping up with the Joneses does not apply to much to homes. It is more about the toys.
We would say that the boats and toys are more important the lake house sometimes. Landscaping on most lake home is simpler. You are not going to have three level of shrubs or $100,000 front landscaping. Lake home owners are more about enjoying the lake than taking care of the yard. Some lake home have little or no landscaping.
What is different about most lake home owners is that they are individualist. They are not into keeping up with the Joneses. Part of it that lake homes are not similar. They vary so much. So one lady is not going to be able to decorate the same way in her 1500 square foot remodeled cottage as her neighbor in the rebuilt colonial that is 2400 square feet. Different layouts and different styles. No keeping up with the Jones.
Many lake homes have beautiful interiors that are well kept and well maintained. The prestige of lake living is just that. You get to wake up each morning to the lake. You get to come home to the lake each night. You are able to sit on your patio, or take a ride around the lake when you want to. That is best part of lake live.

Every lake in Livingston and Oakland County is so different. Sometimes the homes can vary from one side of the lake to the other, or from one road to another. So when you read my pages on these lakes take it with a grain of salt. We can't see all the houses or all the properties. We just try to give you an idea of what the real estate and the lake is like.
