Approximately half of the lake’s shoreline is bordered by protected natural land, including Camp Agawam, a 100-acre Orion Township park, and Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, with approximately 300 acres of land, featuring hiking and mountain biking trails, disc golf, a state-of-the-art playground, public beach, historic forts, and connections to the Polly Ann Trail.

How it compares in Lake Orion

Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Lake Orion sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $7,995 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $8,075 to $17,990 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 35.62 mills for Orion Twp and Lake Orion schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
