About West Bloomfield
West Bloomfield Township is one of Oakland County's most established lake communities — a broad, wooded township dotted with private and semi-private lakes including Walnut Lake, Orchard Lake, and Pine Lake. The community has a quieter, more residential character than its Birmingham and Troy neighbors, with a strong emphasis on private lake living and suburban comfort.
West Bloomfield has a large and established Jewish community that has shaped much of the township's cultural infrastructure, including a concentration of delis, specialty grocers, synagogues, and community organizations along Orchard Lake Road. The township's population is roughly 65,000, and the housing market reflects a wide range of buyer profiles from young families to long-established residents.
Real Estate Overview
West Bloomfield's housing market ranges from entry-level ranches and colonials in established inland subdivisions to multi-million dollar lakefront estates on Walnut Lake and Orchard Lake. The mid-range market ($400K–$700K) is particularly active, with strong demand from families targeting West Bloomfield School District and buyers seeking more lot size than Birmingham or Troy offers at comparable prices.
Lakefront properties in West Bloomfield represent their own distinct market segment with premium pricing driven by scarcity and recreational value.
What Your Budget Buys in West Bloomfield
Entry Tier

Sarah’s Take
“West Bloomfield's lake communities have been among the most loyal markets I've worked in my career. Walnut Lake, Orchard Lake, Pine Lake — those addresses attract buyers who know exactly what they want and aren't easily deterred. For sellers, the lifestyle premium is real and I've seen it hold value even when other Oakland County markets have softened.”
