Shorewood is located on the shores of Lake Michigan as the first suburb north of the city. This compact, walkable village boasts great schools, beautiful homes, shops and restaurants along Oakland Avenue and Capitol Drive, the sandy Atwater Beach, and tree-lined streets with sidewalks. Housing ranges from mansions to bungalows — single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums and apartments — with many homes built in the 1920s and even earlier near the lake.
All of this makes Shorewood a great place for both homeowners and investors. Shorewood duplexes are especially sought after by owner-occupants who want to live in one unit, so they tend to sell quickly. Property taxes and the upkeep of older homes are real factors, and Carole makes sure they are in the numbers before you commit.
