Could be better, could be worse. As a minority WOC, my experience growing up here was mundane at best and frustrating at worst. There was always a sense of 'otherness' that came with being one of very few non-white students in class, and the people in this town, while generally polite, were not particularly kind, inclusive, or welcoming.

I absolutely love that I can walk almost anywhere for food, groceries, etc... I grew up in a wonderful neighborhood where there was at least one child in every home. I had plenty to do because I live on a beautiful lake and have a five minute walk to a park. The best part is the trail system! It's beautiful and quiet. I also love to walk to the community center to shoot hoops. Shoreview is filled with wonderful things to do and wonderful people.
Shoreview has some very nice aspects - close to highways, 15 minutes from either downtown, great schools and lakes. However, not much sets this place apart from 100 other suburban locations - chipotle, trader joes, target...yep. Cute, curb appeal, with unique shops and entertainment - nope.
