Holiday Shores turns lake life into a daily routine—morning paddles, sunset cruises, and weekend barbecues along sparkling coves. Centered around a private, recreational lake overseen by the well-organized Holiday Shores Owners Association, residents enjoy boat launches, community beaches, and year-round events that make it easy to meet neighbors and get involved.
Families value strong public schools served by the Edwardsville Community Unit School District 7, with Worden Elementary and Edwardsville High School frequently cited for robust academics and extracurriculars. Daily errands and dining are a breeze thanks to quick access to Edwardsville and Glen Carbon, while the historic riverfront, festivals, and arts scene in Alton add even more weekend options. Cyclists and runners tap into the acclaimed MCT Trails, a paved network that threads through prairies, woodlands, and town centers across Madison County.
Housing here ranges from classic A-frames to contemporary lakefront homes with docks, offering everything from quiet coves to main-lake panoramas. Outdoor enthusiasts can fish at first light, kayak a no-wake shoreline by mid-morning, and be at a farmers market or campus performance in the afternoon. The pace is relaxed, the amenities are practical, and the sense of community is enduring.
