Located near the center of Oakland County, White Lake Township provides some of the very best summer and winter recreational areas, with new and older homes blending for a delightful community with very little industry. Hills, lakes, farms and forests comprise White Lake’s character, where large parcels are preserved as state recreation areas and a county park. Rural residential development and lake living is typical. White Lake Township is the site of innovation. Detroit Edison and several manufacturers have helped to promote the concept of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly amenities in homes being built in Brentwood, A Golf Course Community. These homes feature highly efficient geothermal heating and cooling systems. This has been the first attempt in Michigan to promote the geothermal concept in a newly developing residential community. Oakland’s major east-west corridor, M-59, crosses the Township where most of the area’s commercial development has occurred. Source: Oakland County Planning and Economic Development Services
