Key Features
Lake Environment and Activities Long Lake is an all-sports lake, making it perfect for skiing, tubing, jet-skiing, and other water sports. Dredged between 1961-1965 to enhance its depth, the lake now boasts an average depth of 5 feet and a maximum depth of 14 feet. It's classified as a kettle lake, adding a unique geological aspect to its charm.
Educational Opportunities Children living on Long Lake attend schools in the Walled Lake School District, ensuring quality education for resident families.
Real Estate and Properties Long Lake properties showcase a mix of old and new homes, ranging from remodeled 1930s cottages to more modern homes built in the 2000s. The lakefront homes vary in size from about 900 square feet to over 2500 square feet. Unlike Union Lake across the street, Long Lake doesn't have high-end luxury estate homes, offering a more varied and accessible range of housing options.
Lakefront Living Properties on Long Lake generally have frontages ranging from 35 to 100 feet, with a few exceptions featuring larger frontages. The lots are well-sized, but none extend into acreage, providing a cozy and community-focused living experience.
Accessibility and Amenities The lake has public access but lacks a public beach, maintaining its privacy. Instead, there are subdivision association beaches for local residents. The streets around the lake are paved, and homes are served by well water and septic or sewer sanitary systems.
