The Community   Once characterized as rural and agricultural, the 27-lake region known as Orion Township continues to be discovered by quality builders who are carving out lovely residential communities and subdivisions. Many of these prime residential areas include common open space of wetlands and wooded acres. Perhaps the ultimate symbol of the area's spirit of transition is the Haymakers Restaurant, a remarkable dining establishment that was converted from an old dairy barn and attracts a clientele from the far corners of Oakland County. 

The Village of Lake Orion still reflects the personality of its early years as a summer resort of charming cottages, although many of these cozy dwellings are now enlarged and converted to year-round homes. Picturesque centennial homes line the business district, alpine-style cottages grace the scenic peninsula known as Swiss Village, and the crisp architectural lines of contemporary split-levels often enjoy prime lakefront settings. 
Intensified interest in waterfront property and the lack of available land has created a common trend with lakeside communities: Luxurious new homes are completely replacing yesterday's vintage cottages. The Indianwood Country Club located nearby has spurred another enclave of impressive new homes. While Lake Orion is the only incorporated village in the township, many other well-developed communities provide a distinctive flavor and enviable lifestyle.
