Many of the homes on the East side and South of the lake do not sit directly on the lake.  East Lake and South Lake Rd are in front of the houses.  But then they have a small parcel of land that sits between the road and the water.  That is where most people barbecue, tan, and enjoy the lake with friends.

Walled Lake just had it's 3rd annual Beach Party in 2009 where they have live music and they even block off the downtown area and dump sand on the street.  They have some jet ski and wake board competition.  The local residents come out to support it and everybody has a good time.  There are little booths with local vendors, a beer tent, and food booths.  The Beach Party is usually a two day event held in July.

Walled Lake also has small Hydro plane boat races once a year.

Walled Lake lies in both Novi and Walled Lake.  So depending on where you live your children could be in either the Novi school district or the Walled Lake school district.  Both are good school districts.  For a general idea the south western part of the lake will be the Novi area.

Walled Lake restaurants.  Bayside is located right on Walled Lake with outside seating so you can sit and relax.  That's my favorite type of dining when I go on vacation.  Sitting outside looking at the water sipping a cool drink.  That's the life.
