Woodruff Lake Co-Op is a low-rise, all-brick cooperative built in 1968 that delivers single-level, two-bedroom ranch-style units across a compact community of about 64 residences. Units are primarily one-story upper or ground-level layouts with features that commonly include enclosed three-season or screened balconies overlooking Woodruff Lake, modest eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, and private basements that provide assigned storage and laundry space. The complex’s exterior character is defined by maintained grounds with lakefront access, private beach and docking for non-motorized and small motorized craft, outdoor barbecue and communal fire-pit areas, and paved parking with one assigned stall per unit plus overflow parking. Interior building systems and services are handled through a cooperative fee structure that typically covers taxes, heat, hot water, building insurance, grounds maintenance, snow removal, exterior lighting and trash; residents pay electricity and cable/internet. The property enforces an age-restricted community policy (50+ or 55+ depending on unit) with strict no-pet and no-rental rules, and sales often require cash. Located in Brighton Township near I-96 and US-23, the co-op is within easy reach of downtown Brighton shops, dining and regional parks, offering a low-maintenance, lake-oriented lifestyle for commuters and seasonal residents.
