Whitmore Lake
Whitmore Lake sits on the Washtenaw-Livingston line, which is either a feature or a bug depending on which county you would rather pay taxes to. The lake itself is the draw: 674 acres, public access, the kind of place where pontoons outnumber opinions. The village proper is small, the school district has been through it, and US-23 puts Ann Arbor twenty minutes south on a generous day. Tradeoff: you get water and a shorter commute than Brighton, but you also get the in-between-ness that comes with being neither a real town nor a true suburb. For the right buyer, that is the point. For the wrong one, it is purgatory with a dock.
