The township isn't one subdivision after another, in fact I would say it is rural residential, and lake homes are the typical residential style. If you did a view from the air, you would notice that there are clusters of homes around the many White Lake Township lakes.
White Lake doesn't have a central downtown area. You could say that M-59 is White Lake's heart. Most of the stores, restaurants, bars/taverns, and business are along M-59.
The biggest lakes in the township are White Lake which has the White Lake Inn on it, Pontiac Lake which has a large state park (and Quake on the Lake power boat races in July on it) and Oxbow Lake which has Spraders on the Lake on it.

The square footage of the lake homes range from 800 square feet to over 10,000 square feet. So you can find any size or type of lake home in White Lake Township. You can find a quiet non-motorized lake or you can be on a large all-sports lake. It's your choice and the township has it all.

If you can't afford the type of White Lake Townshiplake home you want then you might want to look at canal front homes or lake access homes. There are some wide clean canals on Cedar Island Lake that open up to little bays. Not the open expanse of water, but still have the ability to get out to the water without having to trailer your boat. They will still give you access to the lake, but at a lower cost.
