362 Southeastern Michigan lakes to water ski, fish, sail, or swim in. Many have public access or public beaches so everybody can enjoy them. Even in the winter the lakes have people snowmobiling on them, ice fishing, or skating on. What is nicer than waking up every morning and seeing a lake out in front.... Oakland County waterfront properties range from $100,000 to $10,000,000
78 golf courses in Oakland County . Think about it you could go to a different course every five days and never be bored about golfing the same course. Oakland County has more golf courses than any other county in Michigan.
71 Oakland County parks that have lots of trails for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, horses, and even snowmobiling.
There is so much to do for the whole family in Oakland County. Skate Parks, snow skiing areas, dog parks, and so much more. So much to explore. You could live here a lifetime and never get to explore the whole county. Probably because if you are like me, you will love a few areas and keep returning with your family year after year.
I hope this little guide helps you think more about exploring Oakland County as a place to live. It is a great place to live and most likely just a short drive to your new job.
