Located just outside Milwaukee, Greendale combines small-town charm with modern conveniences. Buyers are often drawn to the village's strong sense of community, highly regarded public schools and well-kept homes. Residents also enjoy easy access to parks and green spaces along with a walkable downtown area.
Greendale got its start in the 1930s, and that history is still easy to see in neighborhoods like The Village Center, where historic homes and New Deal-era houses are a big part of the atmosphere. As the community expanded after World War II, newer neighborhoods began to take shape. One example is Woodland Court, which is known for its quiet feel and collection of midcentury homes. Overlook Farms, meanwhile, is recognized for its contemporary custom homes and includes some of the area's most expensive properties.
Greendale's median sale price tends to be in the high $300,000s, which is generally similar to Greenfield and higher than Milwaukee. Even so, home prices are often lower than in neighboring communities such as Franklin and Hales Corners. “Homes don’t stay on the market for long,” says Michelle Campbell, a realtor for Coldwell Banker Realty. “Greendale is charming, it's affordable and lots of people want to live there.”
Students in Greendale attend schools in the Greendale School District. Greendale High School, rated A-minus by Niche, is known for its marching band, which performed in the 2023 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. “The whole town came to the school before the band left to cheer them on,” says Campbell. Private options include Martin Luther High School, which has an A rating from Niche.
The Root River Parkway winds through the city, connecting parks and natural areas. A segment of the Oak Leaf Trail runs through the parkway, providing a paved route for biking and walking. Scout Lake Park’s half-mile path circles a natural inland lake popular with anglers. Just outside the city, the nearly 630-acre Whitnall Park is the largest in Milwaukee County. Boerner Botanical Gardens offers formal gardens with seasonal flower displays, including a rock garden with a waterfall. The Wehr Nature Center has more than 5 miles of trails through its woodlands and prairies.
From classic supper clubs to brewpubs, Greendale offers more variety than its size might suggest. Here are some popular local restaurants:
“The area is very walkable. You can walk to the library, and you can walk to the grocery store and kids walk to school,” Campbell says. Some people commute 13 miles to Milwaukee via Loomis Road. The Milwaukee County Transit System takes residents to Milwaukee's downtown.
