What makes Candlewood Shores different.
A self-contained south-shore community with its own amenities, in Brookfield.
A lake community since 1948
Candlewood Shores was developed in 1948 as a lakefront community on the Brookfield south shore. That long history shows up in the mature setting, the established amenities, and a real neighborhood feel.
Its own beach, boating, and playground
The Shores gives residents a community beach, boating, and a playground. For families, those shared amenities are often the whole reason to buy here rather than an isolated waterfront lot.
It runs its own water company
Candlewood Shores has its own water company and is its own tax district on Longview Drive. That self-contained structure is part of what defines the community and what you buy into here.
Bordered by Candlewood Lake Club
The Shores is bordered to the north by the Candlewood Lake Club community. The two are neighbors on the south shore, but they are distinct communities, so know which one a listing is actually in.
Waterfront and access both exist here
The Shores includes true direct-waterfront homes and lake-access homes a bit off the water. The difference between a private dock and a community beach right shows up in price, so verify per property.
