Shorewood will always be home to me. In general, all residents are extremely warm and caring. I’ve never had an issue with strangers before. The community is pretty tight knit and really care for each other. There’s a big emphasis on education, specifically the music and arts program, which is amazing to see- something that’s not always done in public schools systems. Shorewood is one square mile so everything is within walking distance which is great! It encourages people to get outside more and leave the car at home. However, it’s not super bike-friendly, something that could be improved (such as more bike lanes).
No place is perfect but Shorewood is a pretty great place to live. Being close to the lake, close enough to and far enough from downtown, shops and restos you can walk to and good schools are some of the best features. The schools have strong arts and music programs in addition to academics (no coincidence, IMHO!) a fair amount of artists in the community and I get the sense that the community would like to work on being more welcoming and diverse.
The library is also wonderful as is the bike trail and in the summer, there are occasional outdoor festivals and a farmer's market every weekend that I really enjoy.

I currently just moved to Shorewood in Wisconsin. I love the cute and family friendly neighborhood. I live alone but I feel very safe and go for runs outside. It is right by the Lake and is a short walk for me. I love the downtown area! It is small, but has many options for things to do and is very convenient! I am enjoying living here and continuing my education.
