Welcome

Located in the southwest portion of Oakland County’s Bloomfield Township, Meadowlake Farms is a thriving community of 148 lots nestled around Meadow Lake, a privately owned, 18-acre lake within the Rouge River watershed. Residing in homes built on amply-sized, mature lots, community members enjoy the privacy and tranquility of suburban life within a short drive of retail, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.

Modern-day Meadowlake Farms began with the acquisition of the lake and surrounding 43 acres of land by George Wellington Smith, a well-known local developer. After enlarging and improving the lake with dredging and the building of three dams, homes were built starting in February, 1952 and were guided by the vision and deed restrictions of Smith. 

In August of 1953, the Meadow Lake Farms Civic Association (MFCA) was created to assume stewardship of the neighborhood and ownership of its communal properties, which at the time consisted of the lake and its dams, a private island known then as Anchor Isle, and five additional outlots. All lot owners were required to pay an annual fee which not only supported the work of the MFCA but also entitled them to the enjoyment of the neighborhood common areas.

From then through today, the volunteer MFCA board and dedicated neighbors have worked to preserve the lake, the island, the homes, and the sense of community that began over 70 years ago. With the support and resources of Casa Bella property management company, Bloomfield Township, the Meadow Lake lake board, and more, MFCA reinforces the neighborhood deed restrictions and maintains Meadow Lake, Anchor Island, and the entrance along the east side of Maple Road.
