Overlooking Lake Michigan's shoreline in Shoreham
True to its name, the village of Shoreham sits on bluffs above the shoreline, offering lakefront properties and proximity to nearby public beaches. “It’s huddled right up to Lake Michigan, and you have beautiful views — beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets and lake breeze,” says Realtor Ben Stephen of Cressy and Everett Real Estate. The community features full-time Michiganders as well as a small seasonal population. “It’s probably about 60 to 75% permanent residents, but there is a community of Chicago seasonal residents,” Stephen says.
Shoreham residents are all just steps from Lake Michigan and everything it has to offer.
Shoreham is a quiet residential community on the edges of Lake Michigan south of St. Joseph.

Views of the lake, plus nearby beaches and neighborhood parks
Although Shoreham is on the shore, most residents can’t easily access the water. “The majority of the shoreline here is just views of the lake because there are steeper bluffs,” Stephen says. “There are some homeowners association communities and private homes that have steps to the beach, but no docks or lake slips.” Instead, residents can head up to Silver Beach in St. Joseph. “It’s like a little California up there in the summer,” Stephen says. Inland at treelined Shoreham Downs Park, a walking trail encircles the playground, soccer field and baseball diamond. Locals can also stop at the free little library to pick up a new book. South Shore Health and Racquet Club has an indoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts.

From condos to custom lakeside homes with picture windows
Driveways branch off Lakeshore Drive, including several homes that sit farther away from the road to get closer to the lakefront. New Traditionals, ranch-style homes and custom builds often have big picture windows facing the water, while homes in the Churchill Farms subdivision have multilevel balconies, plus access to community tennis courts and a pool. Lakefront properties range from $890,000 to $2.4 million, and inland homes — typically ranch-style homes and split-levels, along with condos in communities like Shoreham Condominiums — range from $190,000 to $350,000.
