Why Live in Shoreham
Shoreham, a village perched on bluffs above Lake Michigan, offers picturesque lakefront properties and proximity to public beaches. The community is a mix of full-time residents and a seasonal population from Chicago. While most residents enjoy lake views rather than direct access due to steep bluffs, nearby Silver Beach in St. Joseph provides a popular summer destination. Shoreham Downs Park features a walking trail, playground, soccer field, and baseball diamond, along with a free little library. The South Shore Health and Racquet Club offers an indoor pool and courts for tennis and pickleball. Housing options range from New Traditionals and ranch-style homes with large picture windows to custom lakeside homes and condos. The Churchill Farms subdivision includes homes with multilevel balconies and access to community amenities like tennis courts and a pool. Shoreham students attend highly rated schools: Brown Elementary School, Upton Middle School, and St. Joseph High School. Dining options nearby include Coach’s Bar and Grill for Southern comfort food and Tosi’s for Italian cuisine. Essential shopping is available within 3 to 7 miles, with stores like Martin’s Super Market, Meijer, Walmart, and Aldi. Interstate 94 provides easy access to downtown St. Joseph, about 3 miles away, and South Bend International Airport, approximately 34 miles from Shoreham. The neighborhood features a low crime risk compared to the national average, enhancing its appeal for potential residents.
