Shorewood: The Inner North Shore Along Lake Michigan
Shorewood borders Milwaukee on the north and sits directly between the city's East Side and Whitefish Bay. The village covers 1.6 square miles and contains about 13,000 residents. It incorporated in 1900 as the Village of East Milwaukee and adopted the current name in 1917 after a local referendum. Oakland Avenue runs north to south through the commercial corridor, and Capitol Drive crosses it east to west, forming the village's downtown intersection.
Atwater Park at the east end of Capitol Drive sits on the lake bluff and provides beach access via a long staircase. Hubbard Park in the southwestern corner runs along the Milwaukee River and hosts the Beer Garden during warmer months, operated by the village in partnership with a concession operator. The river marks Shorewood's western boundary and separates it from the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee.
Shorewood High School has produced multiple prominent alumni including Willem Dafoe. The village shares its school district boundary almost exactly with its municipal boundary, a rare arrangement in the Milwaukee metro area. Residential streets include a mix of Tudor, Colonial Revival, and bungalow architecture from the 1910s through the 1930s, most of them on small lots due to the village's dense platting.
