Shorewood is a village in Milwaukee County nestled between the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan, bordered by the City of Milwaukee on the south and west and by Whitefish Bay on the north. The land was organized as part of the Town of Milwaukee in 1835, early settlements carried names like Mechanicsville, Humboldt and Cementville, and the community incorporated in August 1900 as the Village of East Milwaukee before renaming itself Shorewood in 1917. Its center grew along Oakland Avenue and Atwater Road, which is now Capitol Drive. Lake Drive and the bluff above the lake are known for mansions. Estabrook Park follows the river between Capitol Drive and Hampton Avenue and holds the Benjamin Church House, moved there in 1938. Hubbard Park and its lodge, Atwater Park and Atwater Beach and the Elizabeth Murphy House by Frank Lloyd Wright are other landmarks. The Shorewood School District runs Shorewood High School, Shorewood Intermediate School, Atwater Elementary and Lake Bluff Elementary. Booking a pair here is simplest if you say whether you are closer to Lake Drive and the bluff, Oakland Avenue or Estabrook Park.

For comparison, a household in Shorewood running three loads a week at a typical $5.00 a load spends about $65 a month at the laundromat, before the driving and the waiting. Renting here starts beating that at roughly 3 loads a week. Under that and the laundromat is genuinely cheaper, which is worth knowing before you call anyone.
