Lake Oakland Waterford MI information
If you are buying a home on lake Oakland in Waterford then I believe you should get a survey of the property. Lake real estate and waterfront properties are unique. It is not obvious where lot lines are. A neighbor may have encroached on your property. Do you own all the way to the lake? I have heard of a few battles between neighbors where neither one really knew where the lot line was. So get a survey if you can afford it.

Are you thinking of buying a waterfront home in Oakland County? Then you have come to the right Michigan website. We have the most up to date waterfront listings here. If you are exploring the possibility of living on the lake in Southeastern Michigan, I have to emphasize that lake homes will cost you more than a home in a subdivision. There is a premium for a lake. The bigger the lake the more expensive the lakefront property will be. Too many times I have potential buyers think they are going to get the same home on the lake as in a sub for the same price. The more desirable the city will add to the cost.
If the view of water is calming to you then you will love all the other sights of nature you will have from the windows of your lakefront home. You will see mist rising off the lake some days, other days you will see swans slowly swimming by, or the occasional fish jumping out of the water to get that bug.
For example a lake house on Union Lake in West Bloomfield will be pricier than a Waterfront property on Long Lake in Commerce for two reasons. One is that Union Lake is a larger all sports lake and the second reason is that Union Lake is in West Bloomfield and Long Lake is in White Lake Township. So if a smaller lake will do, then many times you will get more house for your money. Also another factor in the price of lake homes is sometimes how far or remote the lake is. The further you are away from metro Detroit the less expensive the home in SOME INSTANCES. There are some lakes that are geographically less desirable than others and that figures in the cost of the lake home. It’s not simple to tell you whether a lake house is worth the price sometimes. Sometimes it is all about the demand by buyers for the lake that drives the price up. Search Southeastern Michigan lakefront homes by map. Zoom in on the lake or area to find your dream lake home. I hope you enjoy this page about waterfront properties on lake Oakland in Waterford Michigan.
Welcome to boater's paradise. Lake Oakland is another one of Oakland County's lakes that everybody loves. I don't know if it because it isn't a round lake, or that so many people have been able to use the lake over the years because it has public access. But whatever the reason when I talk about lakes to northern Oakland County resident's Lake Oakland is sure to come up.
- All sports lake Yes
- Private No
- Size 235 acres
- Maximum Depth 60 feet
- Public Access Yes
- Public Beach Unknown
- Wake restrictions Unknown
- Water Source Unknown
Lake Oakland has five or six bays and an island to go around. I don't know if you are like me but I get bored with a round lake. I know lots of clients that have bought on small round lakes and are very happy, but that just isn't me. Lake Oakland gives pontoon boaters little bays to cruise thru with their lake guests.
Lake Oakland is connected via canal to Woodhull Lake. There is a public access at the end of Dill Rd at the south end of the lake off of W Walton.Lake Oakland usually has a golf outing, a water ski show, a euchre tournament, and July 4 fireworks show. es
Have a great sunset photo? Or a good skiing, or action photo of the lake? Or even a photo of your family's fishing catch? I am looking for great photos to put on the website if you would like to share. You can email them to yesmyrealtor@gmail.com Be sure to tell me which lake it is from. Thanks in advance for helping make this the best lake website in Southeastern Michigan
We want to provide you with the best information possible about Wayne, Livingston, and Oakland County Lakes. The reason I started my websites is when I had lake buyers years ago I could not find all the information on any lake all in one spot. I had to jump around and piece all the information together. I wanted to be able to find what I needed for my clients on one page.
So I started going out and visiting the lakes when I had free time. I sat and talked to the local lake residents when I had time. I have taken all these pictures. I have over a hundred pictures of some of the lakes. I took pictures of the homes on the lake one year after my wife died. I did not feel like working, but I needed something to do. So I drove around to all the local lakes in the area, gathered information, and took pictures. It kept me busy after my wife’s death from breast cancer. At the same time I gained so much knowledge about our local lakes.
During the late fall and early winter during our slow time I put this website together. I keep updating it as I get better information. In fact if you know something about a lake send me an email. I will add it to the website. Or if you have a great picture to share I will be glad to post it.
If feel if you take the time to read about some of the lakes or look at some of my amateur videos on you tube you may find a lake that interests you. Then I will have done a good thing. Even other realtors use my website as their resource. I know the local lakes very well so when you start looking for a lake home give me a call.

Here is what a previous client had to say about me!
"Dear Mr. Ravary,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support, guidance and knowledge towards the purchase of my first home. You were very kind, friendly and patient during the whole process. The good thing I like about you is that you have never pushed us to buy any home, but walked with us and gave us yr honest opinion about homes we visited. You had never rushed into make a decision but gave us a time to make the decision wisely during the whole process. You made me familiar and explained with some of the real-estate terms and that helped me a lot during the whole process. Even after the home purchased, I know I can still count you for any help towards my home. I would definitely recommend you to my friends/family for their future home purchase!"
