About Shorewood

Shorewood is the first community north of the City of Milwaukee. Its close proximity to the city allows one to take advantage of the museums, sporting events and theater nearby. Shorewood is an architecturally diverse community, with grand turn of the century homes along the lake, to more modest homes and rentals to the west. Oakland Avenue, the shopping and entertainment corridor, has seen a renaissance in recent years. One can walk to Oakland Avenue from most of the village. Atwater Beach is a great spot to unwind as well.

What Richard Loves About Shorewood

"Walking along Lake Drive on a nice fall day is the best way to experience the incredible architecture of the turn of the century homes along the lake. This is how they were meant to be taken in, on foot, at one's own pace, rather than speeding by in a car. You're sure to see smiling neighbors walking and jogging along the way."

Richard's Market Commentary

"Two of the hottest neighborhoods for years have been Shorewood and Whitefish Bay. In fact, there are more remodeling signs in those communities than anywhere else. This makes sense, because both suburbs tend to outperform in good times and bad."

Q: How do I choose a listing advisor in Shorewood?

A: Look for a demonstrated track record in this specific neighborhood, not just the broader Milwaukee market. Ask how many Shorewood luxury homes they have sold in the past 24 months, what their average list-to-sale ratio is, and specifically, what both their tools and their process are to ensure success.

A: Shorewood buyers pay close attention to condition, finishes, and quality of light.
