The fittingly named Greentree is set among the mature landscape of northeast Fort Wayne, a setting that offers an extra layer of peace and quiet among the area’s residential neighborhoods, which are known for their relative tranquility. The neighborhood is small but spacious, its homes typically occupying large lots. In addition, there is only a single residential through street, which means traffic in the neighborhood is limited almost exclusively to homeowners. At the same time, those residents enjoy proximity to schools, parks and retail centers. “That area is kind of encapsulated in itself,” says John Moor with Coldwell Banker Real Estate. “It’s nice and secluded, but it’s also convenient.”

The neighborhood’s scenic, walkable streets are populated with an attractive collection of established housing featuring private driveways, attached garages and ample yard space. Prices typically range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $200,000s. “You have homes built mostly in the 1960s and ‘70s -- a combination of ranch-style and two-story homes,” says Moor. “Comparatively, it’s a great place to buy. The homes hold their value.” Colonial Revival is the most common architectural style among the larger homes, while Cape-Cod style homes, built in the 1940s and ‘50s, offer a cozy alternative.
