Shorewood and Whitefish Bay are two scenic communities on Lake Michigan roughly five miles north of Downtown Milwaukee. These park-like communities feature sandy beaches on the lake like Atwater Park and Big Bay Park. For more outdoor recreation, residents flock to Lincoln Park on the western edge of town. This riverfront park features a golf course, swimming pool, athletic fields, playgrounds, and more. Shorewood and Whitefish Bay are popular with families because of their abundant green spaces and excellent public schools like Atwater Elementary School and Whitefish Bay High School. Locals enjoy browsing boutiques at Bayshore, an open-air shopping center, and dining at local establishments like the City Market Café and Bakehouse on Capitol Drive. Locals enjoy Shorewood and Whitefish Bay’s laid-back atmosphere and tight-knit community but can easily reach more job opportunities and big-city amenities and attractions in the heart of Milwaukee.
