About the community
A gated 55+ active-adult community built around Lakeview Lodge.
Shorewood Glen is an age-restricted, active-adult (55+) community in the Village of Shorewood in Will County, built by Del Webb, the active-adult brand of Pulte Homes. Sales opened in the mid-2000s and most homes date to the 2005 to 2009 stretch, so it trades today as an established resale neighborhood with mature landscaping and finished amenities. It is a gated community of roughly 765 single-level ranch and attached duplex homes, centered on Lakeview Lodge, a clubhouse overlooking an 18-acre fishing lake. As with Del Webb communities generally, at least one resident of each household must be 55 or older.

What it’s actually like to live here
Shorewood Glen is built around the idea that the neighborhood itself is the amenity. Life centers on Lakeview Lodge and its 18-acre lake, where an indoor pool, outdoor pool, fitness center, ballroom, and craft and hobby rooms give residents somewhere to be every day of the week. The social calendar is dense, with dozens of clubs and interest groups covering everything from line dancing and bridge to bocce, billiards, and book club, and the tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts plus miles of trails keep the outdoor-minded busy. For buyers coming out of a larger family home, the appeal is single-level ranch living with the exterior chores handed off, since the association cuts the grass and clears the snow.
The tradeoffs are the honest flip side of that same design. This is an age-restricted community, so it will not suit multigenerational households or anyone who wants children living with them full time, and resale is limited to buyers who meet the 55-plus rule, which narrows the pool. A monthly HOA assessment is a permanent line in the budget, and it comes on top of Will County's relatively high property taxes, so the true monthly carrying cost is higher than the mortgage alone suggests.
Homes are now roughly fifteen to twenty years old, so buyers should expect some to need updating, roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and baths, and should read the reserve study and governing documents carefully. On balance, Shorewood Glen tends to attract right-sizing buyers who want an active, amenity-rich, low-maintenance lifestyle at a gentler price point than flashier active-adult communities, in a location with fast highway access and everyday shopping close at hand. It rewards people who will actually use the clubhouse and clubs, and it is a weaker fit for those who want acreage, total privacy, or a home with no association oversight.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Shorewood Glen is a closed, age-restricted resale market. Del Webb finished building years ago, so every transaction today is a resale to a 55-plus buyer, and the community trades on floor plan, single-level layout, condition, and lot within a fairly consistent product.
What holds value
The fundamentals matter more than the cosmetics here. Buyers want floor plan, lot, and basement, in that order. Cosmetics are the tiebreaker.
- Single-level ranch living
- The ranch and duplex plans are the whole point; well-kept single-level homes with two-car garages have the deepest buyer pool.
- Condition and updates
- With homes now fifteen to twenty years old, updated kitchens, baths, roofs, and mechanicals separate the leaders from the laggards.
- Amenity access
- Full use of Lakeview Lodge, the pools, and the fitness center is a durable draw that supports value versus plainer nearby options.
- Lot position
- Homes on the lake, a pond, or open space carry a premium over interior lots.
- Value positioning
- Shorewood Glen is considered one of the better-value Del Webb communities in the southwest suburbs, which keeps 55-plus demand steady.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
The age restriction cuts both ways. It keeps the community quiet and age-consistent, but it means no full-time residents under 19 and a resale pool limited to 55-plus buyers, so understand the rule and confirm the exact language in the recorded governing documents before you buy.
Model the full carrying cost. A permanent monthly HOA assessment sits on top of Will County's relatively high property taxes, so the true monthly cost is well above the mortgage. Confirm the current dues and what they include, and pull the actual tax history and any senior exemptions for the specific home.
One piece of advice
“Tour the amenities before you tour homes. In an active-adult community, the lifestyle the lodge, pools, and clubs make possible is half of why people move here, so spend an hour at Lakeview Lodge and see who is at the pool and the card tables. Then confirm the HOA dues, the age rule, and the fully-assessed taxes on the specific home, and Shorewood Glen is an easy, good-value 55-plus buy.”
The questions buyers actually ask
Shorewood Glen - Del Webb FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Shorewood Glen - Del Webb. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- Does only one resident need to be 55 or older?
- Yes. Only one person living in the home needs to be 55+. Spouses and partners under 55 are fine. The 55+ rule is about the household, not every individual.
- Can my kids and grandkids visit?
- Yes. Family can visit and stay as often and as long as they want. Shorewood Glen - Del Webb's 55+ status governs who lives there full-time, not who comes by for the holidays.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The association handles lawn care and landscaping, snow removal, and upkeep of the common areas and the community's lakes and ponds, and includes full access to Lakeview Lodge, the fitness center, and the indoor and outdoor pools. Attached duplex homes generally get more exterior maintenance than the single-family ranches. Reported dues run roughly from the high-100s to the low-300s per month depending on home type, so verify the current amount and the exact inclusion list with the Shorewood Glen Community Association before writing an offer.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $12,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Will County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.

- What does the HOA fee cover?
- Typically lawn care and landscaping, snow removal, common-area and lake upkeep, and full use of Lakeview Lodge, the fitness center, and the indoor and outdoor pools.
