Whitmore Lake
Officially speaking, the lake community that straddles Livingston and Washtenaw counties on the east side of U.S. 23 is not a municipality but a part of Northfield Township. So strongly do residents identify with their beautiful all-sports, 750-acre lake that the school district, post office, and Chamber are named after it.
The Whitmore Lake community has grown from a rural vacation getaway destination to a four-season residential, retail and recreational community. The area offers several restaurants, a variety of retail and service business, a motel and much more.
All eyes have turned their attention to the area where a lifestyle mall, several restaurants and big box stores have opened just north of Whitmore Lake.
The Northfield Township Downtown Development Authority continues to improve Whitmore Lake's beauty and walkability with improvements in roads, walkways, benches and more. The improvements, coupled with special events, have been drawing more people into the business district, helping local businesses to thrive.
Despite the growth and planned changes, Whitmore Lake officials and residents have not lost sight of what makes this community so special - its small-town atmosphere and its friendly, caring people - and they will work to maintain that attractive atmosphere through positive growth experiences.
