Students can start their education at Long Meadow Elementary School, which receives an A rating from Niche, before attending the yet-unrated West Middle School and the A-plus-rated Rochester Adams High School.

Long Meadow Elementary School earned excellent marks for its teachers and academics.
West Middle School served 843 students in 2025, according to Niche.

Golf aficionados will find plenty of opportunities to test their swing at nearby golf courses.

Two shopping centers offer plentiful retail and restaurant options
Shadow Woods sits immediately next to The Village of Rochester Hills, a major retail hub since its opening in 2002. The local Whole Foods shares this shopping complex with dozens of clothing and cosmetics stores and a selection of chain and local eateries. Decorated with artwork inspired by the painter Jackson Pollock, The Jackson Restaurant offers a fine dining experience with menu items including crab fritters and caviar. Across Adams Road, University Square is home to the local Trader Joe’s and Busch’s Fresh Food Market. The Half Day Café serves up diner classics like Reuben sandwiches and gyros while also offering a relaxed venue for a quick coffee during an afternoon errand run.

Quick access to employment hubs and healthcare
Shadow Woods, like the rest of Rochester Hills, is primarily a bedroom community for commuters. “It’s a very central location that’s convenient for a lot of people," Zibkowski says. This subdivision's location along Walton Boulevard puts it less than 10 minutes away from the manufacturing hub of Auburn Hills and 20 minutes from Troy. Ascension Providence, which is both the closest hospital and itself a major employer, is also just a 10-minute drive away via the boulevard.
