The EJ&E Railroad serves the Shorewood area, and the Village is working with METRA for the siting of a commuter rail station in Shorewood, Illinois.

Established neighborhoods combine with new subdivisions provide for comfortable family living and individual lifestyles. Regional developers and custom homebuilders offer a wide array of housing types. From multi-family to maintenance-free living, or starter homes to spacious dream homes, Shorewood offers it all.

Excellent public schools are another key element to Shorewood’s prosperity. Students from Shorewood attend the Troy or Minooka elementary districts and Joliet Township or Minooka High School districts. These districts continually receive high rankings on standardized tests and have excellent and well-deserved reputations.
