Wabeek Oaks is an upscale condominium community located in Bloomfield Township. Our owners enjoy beautiful landscaping, efficient grounds maintenance, and excellent professional management.

Wabeek Oaks is one of the sixteen condominium communities and fourteen single family subdivisions built on what was formerly the summer home (Wabeek) of U.S. Senator James Couzens. Couzens was one of the original investors and officers of Ford Motor Company. Following his departure from Ford he was President of the Bank of Detroit, until being elected Mayor of Detroit in 1919. He served as Mayor until appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill an unexpired term in 1922. He successfully ran for the office and served until his death in 1936. His summer mansion can still be seen on the northern shore of Wabeek Lake.

The prime location of the Couzens estate, which includes Wabeek Lake and tracts of land on both the north and south sides of what is now Long Lake Road, made it attractive to developers who eventually re-platted the land into single family developments. The final parcel was recently sold by the Bloomfield Hills School District and will be developed as a high end single family residential subdivision. Wabeek Oaks was developed by Chrysler Corporation in the early 1970’s, at the time when land development was part of their corporate portfolio.

Bloomfield Township is a mature yet dynamic community of predominately residential areas. The rolling terrain, woodlands, watercourses, and distinctive architecture make the township quite unique. Centrally located in Oakland County, top restaurants and major shopping areas are just a few minutes away. The township has a population of approximately 41,000; and is 26 square miles in area.

The population is both diverse and well educated, with over 65% of adults having a bachelor’s degree or higher; and 32% holding graduate or professional degrees.

The township is home to award winning Bloomfield Hills Public Schools, including the International Academy, consistently ranked by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 public high schools in the country. Bloomfield Township also has a wealth of independent and parochial schools within its boundaries.

The area attracts home buyers seeking an excellent array of educational options. The well run township government, with its AAA bond rating, low crime rate and outstanding public services and facilities, keep families wanting to stay and retire here.
