What to Know About West Bloomfield

Whether buying or selling a home in West Bloomfield Michigan, the beauty of rolling hills and prestigious homes are certainly impressive. With much to offer, it is no wonder that West Bloomfield was ranked #37 in Money Magazine’s Top 100 Best Places to Live for 2012! West Bloomfield was founded in 1833 when Bloomfield Township was divided in two ~ the western portion became West Bloomfield Township. Originally, primarily a farming community, West Bloomfield’s population grew rapidly beginning in the 1960’s through the early 2000’s, with many of the residents moving northwest from the Detroit suburbs of Oak Park and Southfield. Today, the population of West Bloomfield is just under 67,000. It is known to have a very diverse population, with a variety of ethnic groups.  

The West Bloomfield landscape is dotted with many lakes, gorgeous mature trees, hills, and ravines. Sometimes it’s referred to as the “lake township of Oakland County”. Impressive, stately homes line the winding streets. West Bloomfield has no designated downtown but the main artery of West Bloomfield’s economy is Orchard Lake Road, which runs north and south through the heart of the township. On either side is major shopping, many diverse restaurants, and an abundance of small malls, boutique shops, and business offices.

Offered to West Bloomfield residents is a 426-acre park system with more 250 programs and outdoor recreational activities throughout the year. You can enjoy the West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve. This 162-acre site was the first in Michigan to receive recognition as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary from the National Institute for Urban Wildlife. Perhaps your passion is playing golf. Buy a West Bloomfield home right off the Knollwood Country Club and walk to your next tee off!

If you are thinking of buying a West Bloomfield home on one of the many lakes, you certainly will find private lakes and all sports lakes to accommodate your love of water and boating. There is also the West Bloomfield Family Aquatic Center for the swimmers in your family.

Where is West Bloomfield?

West Bloomfield is technically a Township within Oakland County in Southeast Michigan. This highly populated area surrounding Detroit and Ann Arbor is about two hours from Lake Erie and about an hour and a half to Lake Huron. West Bloomfield covers a land area of 31.16 square miles. The township borders Farmington Hills, Commerce Township, Waterford Township, Bloomfield Township, Orchard Lake Village, Keego Harbor, and Sylvan Lake. Nestled within West Bloomfield Township are dozens of beautiful lakes, small ponds, creeks, and rivers. Many homes and estates within the West Bloomfield area are located along the waterfront of some of the more popular lakes such as Orchard Lake, Pine Lake, Walnut Lake, Cass Lake, Upper Straits Lake, and Middle Straits Lake.

Ann Arbor is less than an hour from West Bloomfield and Detroit is about 40 min. Farmington Hills is the closest largest town at the intersection of Interstate 275 and I-96. Although close to some of the larger communities and cities within Michigan, West Bloomfield is set apart in a quieter and more tight-knit community. Many of the homes and neighborhoods are set on large acreages with gorgeous estates and country cottages.

West Bloomfield is considered a Charter Township which is a form of organized government within the state of Michigan. The term charter is defined as a Township granted a charter allowing it certain rights and responsibilities. Currently, there’s 131 Charter Township’s within the state of Michigan and should a Township prefer to incorporate themselves, so long as they have 2000 residents or more, they may apply for Municipal Corporation. 

Beautiful rolling hills, lush landscape, and crystal blue waters of the lakes give West Bloomfield a unique design and style that draws residents and tourists here annually. More people every day are moving to the West Bloomfield area and with the abundance of country clubs, golf courses, trails and biking options, no wonder that so many have chosen to make West Bloomfield their home.

The West Bloomfield area is perfect for the outdoorsy type as well as those that love the view and the atmosphere surrounding the rolling Hills and lush green valleys. If you’re looking to make this area your permanent home or maybe looking for a second home in the West Bloomfield Township area, please contact me anytime or start your online search here first. I know the real estate market and have the experience and service to help you with all your real estate needs. I  enjoy living here, playing here, working here, and would love finding a new home for you and your family.
