Shorewood, Wisconsin is best known as the “urban forest” of the North Shore. Shorewood is known for its beautiful architecture, excellent schools, and commitment to sustainability. The village is known also as a Bird City and Tree City in the USA, and one of the first communities in Wisconsin to have LED traffic signals and a curbside recycling program, thanks to the Sustainable Shorewood Action Plan. As a vibrant community of families and lifelong residents, it was named one of the United States’ four “Best Inter-generational Communities” by the MetLife Foundation - and just like nearby Whitefish Bay, Shorewood residents feel a strong community bond and pride in their home.
