Commerce, Waterford and West Bloomfield townships are commonly known as the "Lakes Area." Some of the finest inland lake recreational opportunities exist in this area. Most of these lakes offer both moderate and upscale housing. While lakefront property is typically relatively expensive, there are also many homes located near the lakes which offer lake privileges.
Some of the larger, more prominent, lakes include Orchard Lake, Pine Lake, Cass Lake, Upper, Lower and Middle Straits Lakes, Union Lake, Commerce Lake, Walled Lake, Sylvan Lake, Lake Angelus, Lake Oakland, and Elizabeth Lake. And there are many other smaller lakes.
The Lakes Area offers a wide range of housing options and price ranges. While there are plenty of large luxury residences located on the lakes, the area is characterized by a more casual lifestyle typically associated with lakefront living. Shopping and dining choices are also wide ranging. Orchard Lake Road, which runs north and south though West Bloomfield Township, could be described as the commercial hub of the area. Class A office space is available and is surrounded by extensive retail areas including auto dealerships and service businesses.
