Local life in Clarkston
Clarkston keeps a small, well-preserved historic downtown — the City of the Village of Clarkston is one of the more attractive village cores in Oakland County, and it has resisted being flattened into a strip.
Independence Township around it is full of lakes, and the housing is at the premium end of what this area offers: larger homes, bigger lots, waterfront where you can get it. Pine Knob is close enough that summer concert traffic is a fact of life.
I-75 makes metro Detroit straightforward, which is the main reason for the pricing. Lapeer is about 40 minutes northeast, so this is the far end of the range for anyone whose work is in Lapeer County.
