Here is more information about West Bloomfield Lakes.  

What type of lake home are you looking for on a West Bloomfield Lake?   Many times lake home buyers are coming from the suburbs of Metro Detroit.  They are used to having city water and sewer.  Not all lake homes have city water and sewer.  In some communities like White Lake or Highland Township you have the majority of lake houses on septic and well.  Many West Bloomfield lake homes have city water and sewer which will make you happy if you are looking for a lake home with city water.  Some lakefront home buyers just do not like the taste of well water.

Do you know the difference between an all sports lake or non all sports lake?  An all sports lake in Michigan basically allows you to have any type of motorized boat and also allows you to pull somebody behind the boat.  Jet skis, power boats, pontoon boats, in board motor boats, out board motor boats are all allowed.  Any size motor, any length of boat is allowed.  You can tube, water ski, wakeboard, surf, and kneeboard.  Of course you have kayaks, paddle boats, and sail boats too.  The key is that you are allowed to have a boat with a gas motor on it and you can just about do anything on the lake (within the law).

West Bloomfield Michigan has a lot of lakes, more than many other communities in Wayne and Oakland County.  Approximately 12% of the township is water.    Some people refer to West Bloomfield as the “lake township of Oakland County”.  West Bloomfield has 24 lakes that cover about 1858.7 acres. You have a choice of many different West Bloomfield lake houses, luxury lake estates, and cottages.  You will find fewer lake cottages in the township.  So many of them have been torn down to make way for newer custom built homes.  The small lake cottages that are left are not going to be inexpensive.  You most likely are not going to find a $200,000 lake cottage in West Bloomfield.  Because of the demand of lake cottages and lake homes in West Bloomfield the prices per square foot is going to be higher than some other communities.  This is partly fueled by the good schools, and the desirability of living in W. Bloomfield.
