Oconomowoc is such a terrific blend of lifestyles! I am blessed to be able to live and work all in one community and really take in all that it has to offer. My drive to work everyday is just a few short miles, and yet it’s like traveling between two different worlds. I live in the country, surrounded by farmland and beautiful views of rolling hills and pastures.
Oconomowoc has a rich history in farming, with many farms being operated by the same family for numerous generations. It’s great to be able to stroll down the road with a fishing pole and wile away a lazy summer afternoon. You’re bound to catch some of the local wildlife up close, or at the very least, enjoy the hum of the dragonflies while baiting your hook!
When we feel like getting out on the town, we can be there in just 5 minutes. There you are surrounded by small town charm and a lake always nearby! Historical homes and buildings make for interesting converstion while on a walk around one of the lakes. Pedestrian friendly Oconomowoc offers many parks and walking trails, several beaches, quaint shops and restaurants. The city also has a flair for the arts, offering free concerts in summer, gallery night and art festivals, as well as performances in the new Oconomowoc Arts Center and at Theatre On Main.
Plus we’re tucked right in between Milwaukee and Madison, so in less than an hour you can be in either of the two larger cities!
It’s a wonderful place to call home. People have been flocking here for decades to enjoy the lifestyle that the lake country brings. Whether you’re looking for a quiet night of star gazing, dining on the lakefront, or taking in some live music, you’re sure to find it here!

We’ve grown from a one-person office in Wauwatosa to 27 sales offices covering a twelve-county area. And the Shorewest “family” now includes over 1,700 people as committed to Wisconsin as the day John A. Horning started the company out of his home over 60 years ago.
Today, the Shorewest family of companies includes Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation, Heritage Title Services, Shorewest Real Estate Institute and Shorewest Insurance Associates, plus Home Closing, Marketing, Information Technology, Home Services, Career Development and Relocation Center divisions.

Midwestern values like hard work, dedication and a family-first philosophy are deeply ingrained in the people of Shorewest. As a family-owned company since 1946, all of us are driven every day by the following mission statement, adopted October 1986:
