All Sports Whipple Lake Independence MI

I am going to give you a quick look at Whipple Lake in Oakland County.  It is not a huge lake by any means. It is a private lake with no public access.  It is lake big enough to tube and waterski on occassionally, but for a person that wants to do it everyday or a lot I would say that the lake would not be for you. It is a quieter lake good for swimming, fishing, short boat rides, kayaking, and paddle boarding. 

What is nice about the lake is that it is only a couple of miles from an I-75 entrance ramp.  You can jump on I-75 and be downtown.  Or you may work in Auburn Hills, Troy, or Rochester.  It is a easy drive to any of those cities.  You will be close to skiing and concerts at Pine Knob/DTE. There is lots of shopping at Great Lakes Crossing and of course there are many great restaurants in downtown Clarkston which is less than 10 minutes away.

Lakefront homes for sale on Whipple Lake Independence MI

Here is a quick synopsis of homes on Whipple lake.  This information has been gathered from 15 years of information from homes that sold on the mls.  I did some research and put this together for you.  There are a few older small cottages on the lake, but many of the lake homes were built after the 1950's.  So you are going to find most of the homes on the lake that are going to be similar to ones that you find in any subdivision around metro Detroit.  You are not going to find mega mansions on the lake.  The biggest home on the lake is less than 4000 square foot.  There are not big luxury lake estate homes that are over 7000 square foot in size.  It just is not that type of lake.

There are about 75 homes on the lake. Here are the general characteristics of the homes on the lake.

• Homes were built between 1938 to present
• Smallest homes are 650 square foot, 800 square foot, 900 square foot roughly

• 1 to 7 bedrooms.....mostly 3 & 4 bedroom homes
•  Most homes have wells

The video below is not the best because the wind was so strong that day it drowned out my voice.   But it does give a view of the lake.
