Sometimes one of the biggest concerns for lake home buyers is the drive to work and the closeness of all the stores, doctors, banks, dentists that they need.  What is nice about Clarkston area lakes is that I-75 and M-24 are nearby.  So you have easy access to get about any where.  Clarkston Lakes are near to the I-75 corridor and make an easy ride to work whether you are going to downtown Detroit or to Auburn Hills or Troy. 

When I talk about Clarkston Lake or Clarkston area lake you have to understand is that many people consider Independence Township Lakes and Springfield Township Lakes are sometimes spoken as "Clarkston".  They may not be in Clarkston proper but their mailing address may be Clarkston or people may just refer to the area as Clarkston.

When buying a lakefront home in Clarkston Michigan you will find you have a wide range of choices of homes.  You will still find small older cottages on many of Clarkston's Lakes.  You will also find big colonial, ranch, and contemporary homes that have been built in the last ten years.  So there are Clarkston Lake homes that will have all the latest amenities like master suites with walk in closets, great rooms, and gourmet style kitchens.  The newer homes will have open layouts, large lake view windows, and rooms that face the lake.

The older homes change hands over the years and many of them are remodeled, updated, and added onto over the years.  Many lakes are always in a state of change because of the additions.  Sometimes old lake homes are torn down and new lake homes built.
