Neighborhood Spotlight is a recurring column covering the entire area of Metro Detroit. This article is sponsored and written by the Delia Group and Toth Team Network. 

Today’s neighborhood spotlight focuses on one of Metro Detroit’s lake Life towns: Waterford.

When it comes to finding the perfect place to live, there are several key factors to consider. You want a location that offers convenience, affordability, and plenty of recreational activities to enjoy. That's why we highly recommend Waterford, Michigan - it's a hidden gem that checks all the boxes.

One of the best things about Waterford is its prime location. Nestled in Oakland County, this community has over 70,000 residents, but it does not feel that large.  It's conveniently located near several shopping centers and medical facilities, making it easy to access everyday necessities. And with low property taxes and association fees, living in Waterford won't break the bank. Plus, the town uses the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, which means that residents can enjoy one of the lowest water bills in the country.

If you're a fan of water sports and lake life, Waterford is an ideal location. The town is surrounded by several lakes, including Cass Lake, Sylvan Lake, and Elizabeth Lake. In the summer months, residents can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and other water sports. And when it comes to dining options,  Local resident and current client, Samir Sadik highly recommends 4th Tavern Lakehouse. This is a MUST visit spot. This restaurant offers a wide range of delicious dishes and has a cozy ambiance that makes it a popular spot for locals.

But perhaps the best thing about Waterford is the comfortable and friendly community feel. The tree-lined streets and sidewalks make it easy to take walks and get to know your neighbors. As Samira told us, “It is very clean and organized”.  And with Ann Arbor and Pontiac just a short drive away, you're never far from even more entertainment options.

In summary, Waterford, Michigan is a fantastic place to call home. With its great location, low taxes, and close proximity to lakes and water sports, it offers the perfect balance of convenience and recreation. And with its welcoming community feel, it's an excellent choice for families and retirees alike.
