Waterford is a fantastic place to buy a home, offering a vibrant lakeside lifestyle, affordable housing and a strong sense of community. Known for its abundant lakes and convenient location, Waterford attracts families, young professionals and retirees looking for a scenic and welcoming place to live.
One of Waterford’s biggest draws is its incredible waterfront living. With 34 lakes within its borders, including Cass Lake, Elizabeth Lake, and Pontiac Lake, residents enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming right in their backyard. Many homes feature lakefront views, private docks and access to sandy beaches, making Waterford a haven for water enthusiasts. The township is also home to Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, a popular destination for hiking, biking, horseback riding and camping.
Families are drawn to the Waterford School District as it offers strong academic programs, excellent sports teams and diverse extracurricular activities. The community also has a variety of private and charter school options, ensuring families have plenty of educational choices.
Waterford’s central location is another major advantage. Situated near M-59, Telegraph Road and Dixie Highway, residents have easy access to Auburn Hills, Clarkston and Metro Detroit, making commuting to work or entertainment hubs convenient. The township is also just a short drive from major shopping destinations.
Beyond its lakes and schools, Waterford has a strong sense of community. Events like the Concerts in the Park series, Waterford Township Fireworks, and local farmers’ markets bring neighbors together, while a variety of parks, golf courses and recreational facilities provide plenty of ways to stay active. The Dodge #4 State Park on Cass Lake is a local favorite, offering a sandy beach, boat launches, and picnic areas.
The real estate market in Waterford is diverse, with everything from cozy cottages and lakefront homes to new construction and spacious family houses. Compared to other lakefront communities in Oakland County, Waterford offers more affordable options, making it an attractive choice for those looking to enjoy lake life without the high price tag.
With its beautiful lakes, great schools, convenient location and strong community feel, Waterford is more than just a place to live—it’s a waterfront paradise where residents can enjoy both relaxation and adventure.
