A suburb in the city with easy access to all of West Erie
A drive along Greengarden Boulevard may be all a newcomer needs to understand the appeal of this West Erie neighborhood. “The homes from 26th Street to 38th Street alone are reason enough to visit Greengarden,” says Realtor Kristy Markel with Agresti Real Estate. With deep front lawns, ample sidewalks and mature trees, the neighborhood has a classic suburban feel. “New bike lanes were just installed on the boulevard,” Markel says. “The houses tend to be larger with bigger yards. You’re also close to LECOM, the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in the southwest corner, which brings students, staff and investors to the area.” Markel lives in central Erie and has been selling homes in the city since 2016.
Greengarden is also an older community with few new developments, something long-term residents want to maintain. “You won’t find many cars or large amounts of traffic coming through the neighborhood,” says Realtor Katie Cameron, a transplant from North Carolina who moved to Erie four years ago and is in her second year with Agresti. “It’s a quiet area with single-family homes, nice neighbors who keep to themselves, and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.” With easy access to Interstate 79, the airport and downtown, Greengarden puts residents within reach of essential city resources.
Greengarden is a close-knit neighborhood.
Greengarden has many parks and green spaces.

Starter homes for families and rising professionals
The most common home design in Greengarden is ranch style. Many of these were built in the 1930s to the '70s or later with brick or wood siding, garages, original hardwood floors and large living rooms with fireplaces and picture windows. Cape Cods are also prevalent, from small two-bedroom cottages to four-bedroom homes with back decks, patios and fenced-in backyards. “Prices are a big attraction, especially for first-time homebuyers who go to school at LECOM or are looking for employment there,” Cameron says. “The Capes and ranches in this neighborhood make great starter homes.” Greengarden also offers colonial-style homes with attics for extra storage or living space, family rooms, basements and two-car garages. Buyers can expect to pay between $70,000 and $285,000 for a home here.

Local eateries, markets and shopping corridors in Greengarden
For a hearty meal any time of day, Panos’ Restaurant has been on West 38th Street since 1956. Skippereno’s on West Grandview is a small Italian restaurant that serves homemade pasta, sauces and pizza in a down-to-earth, family-friendly environment. West 26th Street is loaded with eateries, shops and businesses, like Stanganelli’s, a family-owned and operated Italian foods market known for its pepperoni balls, and the Erie Food Co-op, a community-owned grocery store that specializes in locally and regionally grown produce, antibiotic and hormone-free meats and products for special diets, such as gluten-free.

Local businesses also decorate for the holiday and pass out candy. The Erie Zoo holds a two-week event in October called Zooboo, which features trick-or-treating, talking pumpkins, a DJ who plays spooky music and train rides through its “bootanical” gardens.
