About Candlewood Shores
What buyers should know about Candlewood Shores
Candlewood Shores is a private lake community on the Brookfield side of Candlewood Lake, developed in 1948. It's organized as a Brookfield special tax district that owns the community beach, ball field, roads, and its own water system.
Private lakefront community
Homes range from direct waterfront to lake-community homes that share the community beach. We confirm exactly what a specific listing includes — owned frontage, a dock, or beach access.
Docks, slips & access
Candlewood Shores has a community beach on the lake, and some homes are direct waterfront with a dock. See how docks & slips work →
Dues & due diligence
Candlewood Shores is a Brookfield special tax district with its own assessments (and its own water company). We confirm current dues and what they cover.
Straight talk: being ‘in Candlewood Shores’ isn't the same as owning lake frontage. We'll make sure a listing's wording — waterfront vs. community beach access — matches what you're buying, and confirm the Brookfield town and rights on the specific property.
