SHOREWOOD, WI - Weidner Apartment Homes, a real estate investment and property management company, acquired The Oaks of Shorewood Apartments in Shorewood, WI. Weidner is the community’s sole owner and property manager and is recognized industry-wide as an efficient provider of quality rental homes and a creative new housing developer. The Oaks of Shorewood is Weidner’s first community in Shorewood, their 16th property in WI, and their first 55+, Active Adult multifamily community.
Active Adult describes lifestyle-focused housing for residents aged 55+ rather than traditional senior housing built to suit aging needs. These communities offer a middle ground between conventional multifamily, which lacks the extra amenities and activities, and Independent Living, which provides services and catering. Mature residents seek The Oaks at Shorewood to downsize and experience supreme retirement living while maintaining North Shore community ties.
The Oaks of Shorewood is a single four-story building built in 2018. On 3.45 acres, the community holds 101 homes, a mix of 136 garage and surface-level parking spaces, and 105 secure storage lockers. Residents can live in one of the 13 offered pet-friendly floor plans of one and two-bedroom homes ranging from 718 to 1,750 square feet.
Every floor plan is an empty-nester’s dream apartment that eliminates the stress of maintaining a home without skimping on luxuries. Residents enjoy living in an open-concept layout with a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a large island, stainless steel GE appliances, and 42’ maple countertops. Accessibility was at the forefront when constructing the homes, and every unit has a washer and dryer, walk-in closets, spacious bathrooms with double vanities, and LVP flooring.
The Oaks of Shorewood boasts 7,000+ square feet of indoor amenities and two outdoor courtyards that cater to the Active Adult demographic. Residents live with elevated touches, including a guest suite, a climate-controlled wine storage room, an outdoor patio with summer kitchens, and a club room with an entertainer’s kitchen and bar. Additional activity-focused amenities include a fitness center, a yoga studio, a golf/sports simulator with Kegerator, a lap pool, a whirlpool, a pickleball court, an off-leash dog run, a resident garden, and direct access to Oak Leaf Trail.
The Oaks at Shorewood is located along the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, ten minutes outside of downtown Milwaukee. Shorewood is ranked as the 5th best place to live in WI, the most densely populated village in WI, and is known as Milwaukee’s most urban suburb. The city is highlighted by 13 acres of parkland, including Hubbard Park & Beer Garden, Estabrook Park, and Atwater Park. The modernized Bayshore also boasts 60+ retailers and restaurants.
The Oaks of Shorewood Apartments is a valuable asset to Weidner’s growing Milwaukee metroplex portfolio. The community is an exciting new endeavor to provide a quality, well-managed multifamily product for Shorewood, WI, residents.
