WELCOME

Winter Oaks Condominium Association is located one mile west of River Avenue just off Lakewood Boulevard. The beautifully landscaped eighty-four unit complex is surrounded by graceful trees and two large ponds. Lake Michigan is just four miles to the west. For fifty years, the property that is now Winter Oaks was the home of the Plakke family. Having raised five children here, the grounds are rich with family sentiment and stories. The grand oak by the pond still stands because a little ten-year-old boy couldn’t bear to mow over the tree when it was a sapling. Most northsiders will remember the popular soccer field up by the road, where many of their children practiced for the township teams. Winter Oaks was the site of tree forts and acorn fights, family reunions, and sleepovers in the barn. Children pounced in mountains of leaves and blazed trails through acres of trees. Tall oaks gave shelter to deer while they feasted on wild blackberries. Today, new families in Winter Oaks are building a community where friends gather, adding new stories to the old.
