In their words

Its population of 25,000 residents makes it a smaller suburb compared to its neighboring cities. With its many amenities, community-centered focus, and numerous organizations, everyone can find their place in the Shoreview community.

At the heart of the Shoreview community is the Shoreview Community Center. The Shoreview Community Center has something for everyone. It houses indoor gymnasiums, a fitness center, indoor playgrounds, and an indoor waterpark. Whether a place is needed to work out, or just to have a fun time, the Shoreview Community Center is the one stop center for all people living in Shoreview. Also located in Shoreview is one of the 7 libraries connected via the Ramsey County Library system. With its floor to ceiling windows, it is a great place to curl up with a book and enjoy some peaceful solitude.

Shoreview also has many organizations that residents can join. One of them is the Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band. Established in 1994, the band is composed of wind instruments and percussion instruments. With over 80 members, many of which are families, the Northern Lights Variety Band feels, quite literally, like a family. The Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band plays two formal concerts each year, one in the spring and one in December which members of the community always look forward to.
