Shorewood Glen

Shorewood, Will County, Illinois  ·  765 Homes  ·  55+ Active Adult Community

Overview

Shorewood Glen is one of the larger age-targeted communities in the Will County southwest suburbs, situated in the Village of Shorewood — a community that straddles the border between suburban buildout and the remaining rural corridor toward Joliet. At 765 homes and an HOA of approximately $175/month, it represents the value end of the Will County 55+ market: established infrastructure, reasonable costs, and proximity to the Joliet and Bolingbrook commercial corridors.

The community features a clubhouse, pool, and internal walking trail network. It is fully built out with all resale inventory. Will County effective property tax rates of approximately 2.3% are mid-range for the Chicago metro — higher than DuPage but lower than Lake County. For buyers prioritizing total cost of ownership over premium amenities, Shorewood Glen consistently shows up in southwest suburb shortlists.

Location considerations: Shorewood is approximately 35 miles southwest of Chicago on Route 59. Interstate 55 is nearby, providing direct Chicago access. The nearest Metra station is the Heritage Corridor line in Joliet, approximately 8 miles south. The PACE bus system serves some Shorewood routes but this is primarily a car-dependent location.
