Here is so much information about waterfront homes on Orchard Lake in Orchard Lake Village Michigan. We have driven the streets and gathered a lot of information about the real estate on our local lakes. Whether it is a private lake or public lake makes a difference to lake home buyers. Another big criteria for many lake home buyers is whether it is an all sports lake or not. On this website we have a page on Oakland County’s Lake sizes and also a page on all the all sports lakes in Oakland County to help you narrow your lake home search down. We I always believe an educated buyer will make better decisions.

Orchard Lake Real estate is what we would consider high end real estate. There are many luxury lakefront homes that have sold for over a million dollars. You won't be finding $200,000 cottages. Even small homes will be sold for the building site. We call them tear down lake homes. The lakefront home will be torn down and a newer, bigger home will be built.
Orchard Lake real estate on the north side of the lake sits on the other side of a road. So there is a road between the lake and the home. There is a 10 -30 foot wide piece of land between the road and the lake. You have to cross the road to get to your dock and your boat. That is on one side of the lake.
But all those lakefront homes are big luxury homes. The way I figure it, if those people that own million dollar homes don't mind crossing the road then... But Orchard Lake front properties are what I would call premier lakefront real estate. Most of West Bloomfield and Orchard Lake lakes command top dollar and draw higher end residents.

Living on a lake is a whole different life style. Over all the lake life style is a little different than subdivision. Most lake home owners know their neighbors or other people on the lake from seeing them out on the lake. I would say the lake life style is more social. Though there are many lake home owners that keep to themselves. So Lake Home owners may not even own a boat. To us that is foreign....live on a lake and not own a boat????
There are always people like that on a lake. Some have gotten older and no longer want to maintain a boat, some are just happy looking at the lake and the birds, ducks, swans on the lake. We have had many clients that do not have boats and are so happy on the lake. They are just more relaxed because of the lake.
Many lakes in Southeastern Michigan will have a gathering spot. What I mean by that is a place where boats and people tend to hang out together. They may not know each other too well, but they may talk a little when anchored close by. If it is a mucky lake they may anchor in a deep spot to swim. If there are islands on the lake they may park on the shallow end of the island. Some lakes has shallow areas or sunken islands that lake home owners anchor at. Some stay to themselves with their family and kids. Other lake home owners mingle and chat with the other people on the boats.

The Catholic all boys school Orchard St. Marys is located right on the lake. Some of the lake has no homes on it because of a busier road being right there. Orchard Lake Rd on the east is an example.

The lake is one of Oakland County's larger lakes. So on the weekend you will have a lot of boat traffic. So we would consider this a heavy traffic lake on the weekends. Also because the lake is so large the east side of the lake can get choppy from the west wind blowing across it.
There is one island in the middle of Orchard Lake called Apple Island. It's name came from all the apple tree that were on the island. It is said that the Indian Chief Okemos was born on the island. The island is now owned by the West Bloomfield School district after the last private owner left it to them.

Here is what previous clients said about us!
As a buyer, I had a great experience working with Janel for many months through a chaotic housing market before finally finding a place and I'd recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy a lake house. She was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions a lake home buyer like me had. She was professional, easily reachable, and generally able to go take a look at properties with short notice as they became available.
We have used Joe Bertera and his office since 2009. We have always had a great experience with him and his associates. Not only is Joe our agent , but we now also consider him a friend. He has always provided us with very professional and friendly services. He always goes above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Joe!
Janel has helped me find a great lake house. My family loves living on the lake and I can’t thank Janel enough. We already have made some great memories here!
Joe was the best agent for my husband and I. He was always available for a showing and was quick in responding to my E-mails and phone calls. He did everything he could to help us get the house of our dreams! I would highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone looking for a house. Thanks again Joe!
"Dear Russ,
My Husband and I have been in our new home for about a year now and we both feel that it would not have been possible without your help. We wanted to write and let you know that we appreciate everything you have done for us. I want to thank you for showing us around and negotiating to help us get an excellent home that meets all of my needs. I was impressed with your knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, businesses, parks, recreation, restaurants and home prices. You are my #1 Realtor and I will recommend you to my family, friends and any one else who need to buy or sell real estate."
Best Regards
Nabila & Joe
