OK, I don't think I was clear with my other post (walled lakes), we are looking at buying in Troy and are considering one of the houses in a sub with a lake. I wanted to know what the pros and cons are, and if anyone has lived near one. thanks

Emerald Lakes is a very nice subdivision. I would live there.
I believe people should have the full picture so they can make an informed decision.. the following information may well not make a bit of difference in your decision.. approx 1/2-1 mile away, West of Dequindre, South of South Boulevard, East of John R, North of Square Lake Roads, was once a dump on the top 10 super-fund lists.. aprox information was that this was carefully walled off w/as I recall impenetrable clay.. on top of this is now a park...on the west side of the site is a man-made lake with homes newer than Emerald Lakes. Water quality in these lakes, I was told, is monitored for quality, & as they were man-made-(old quarries), algaecide-type chemicals are added to make the water safe for human use. You can do you own investigations of these histories, to make the best possible decision to fit your family's needs.. bg |

Though I have access to Thelma Spencer Park, just N. of South Blvd, E.of John R..& though claims are water conditions a-ok..its close access to the former superfund toxic site has kept me out of the water.. but that's just me. This is the Great Lake State..hundreds of lakes in any direction without any dubious history. Now however, you are informed so that you can, as a taxpayer-homeowner association member, inquire about water quality testing that will put your mind to rest. bg |
