Once speckled with apple orchards, West Bloomfield is now known for its lakes -- 25 in all, covering some 14% of the township. Water views abound, and residents enjoy boating, fishing and swimming in the summertime, with snowshoeing, ice-skating and hockey in the winter months.
Centrally located Orchard Lake has inspired a community of cream-of-the-crop waterfront homes -- and they draw prices to match. For residents who don't want to send their children to the area's first-rate public schools, they have access to Brookfield Academy, one of the largest private schools in the state.
