Walnut Lake is what I would call a more exclusive lake.  There are big beautiful luxury estate lakefront homes that range up to over 10,000 foot.  There have been Walnut Lake properties that have sold up to $3,000,000 in the last few years.  There are 5000 square foot ranches, and many other lakefront homes in the 6000 - 9000 square foot range. 

In 2011 there was a 1400 square foot ranch on 40 foot frontage that they were asking over $400,000 (built in 1931).  It was a tear down property that was being sold for the property value. 

So if you want an exclusive high end lake property in West Bloomfield Township then Walnut Lake may be the lake for you.  Depending on where you live on the lake the school district is either going to be Birmingham school district or Bloomfield Hills school district.

Unlike some of  Oakland County Michigan Lakes there are some larger lots on Walnut Lake.    There are a few of the larger estate lake properties that have 3 and 5 acres. But there are others that are close together.  

There are some Walnut Lake access homes as there are at least two association beaches on the lake.  We are unsure whether they have boating rights to the lake.

One of the unexpected bonuses of having a lake home is the nature and the wildlife that calls the lake home.  Some of our Michigan lakes are right in the migration path of many of the ducks and geese.  We sold a home on Independence Lake that had so many different ducks on it.  It was absolutely amazing to see the whole flock take off at one time.  It reminded me of my childhood when my grandparents to me to Jack Miner's bird sanctuary in Canada.

Our local lakes have mallards, wood ducks, geese, and swans that are around most of the time.  Some people think the geese and swans can be a nuisance.  But there is something majestic about a swan swimming by.  Or funny when they have their butts in the air.  I know the sound thump, thump, thump of a swan taking flight.  It starts out awkward and then becomes a thing of beauty.

Rainbows over the lake, the moon glistening off the water are just two of the sights I love.  The sight of two swans squaring off over territory.  All these little things about life in nature.  It is wonderful!

If you move off the lake you will miss the sounds of the geese in the early morning.  The sights of the baby ducks all in a row each spring dutifully following their mother.  (One time we saw a duck that had 18 little ducks swimming behind it)  That is some of the special highlights of living on the lake.

We have taken all of the photos on the website.  But we can't get out to all the lakes at sunrise, sunset, or when there is a great photo due to the weather.  If you have a great weather photo or a sunrise of the photo we would love to put it on the website.  You can send it to yesmyrealtor@gmail.com   Thanks for all your help

Here is what previous clients had to say about us!

Joe was a true professional that knew the real estate market in the area. He priced the house higher when others said it was too overpriced. We ended up having 17 groups come through and three prompt offers by the end of the weekend. Joe made the selling process easy and without any snags. We would definitely recommend him and use him again. 

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.

"Hi Russ,

I wanted to thank for helping me get my Milford condo.  I know I limited my chances of finding the "perfect condo" by wanting a certain small area.  But you came out here whenever we found one.  It took me a year of looking but finally we found one that was the "one".  It was a short sale which I knew nothing about.  You told me about all the problems that might happen with a "short sale" and some of them did.  You were good about re-assuring me about the length of time short sales take.  But we finally got the condo!   Thank you from Courtney and I."
