If you are looking for a home on a good sized lake then a Oxbow Lake waterfront home may be the one for you. Oxbow Lake is located in White Lake Township, Oakland County Michigan. It is just south of M-59 (Highland Rd), East of Teggerdine Rd, North of Elizabeth Lake Rd, W of N William Lake Rd.
White Lake Twp isn't a booming metropolis. In fact there are still farms and dirt roads that make you feel like up North. There aren't a lot of big chain restaurants, but more mom and pop type of establishments. Oxbow Lake's northern tip is right off of M-59 and M-59 will take you to Waterford, Pontiac, Brighton and Howell for all the shopping you need.
