Community-oriented southwest Madison neighborhood

With quiet, tree-lined streets, residents of Greentree get a degree of separation from the busy atmosphere of downtown Madison, just 15 minutes away. According to long-time neighborhood resident and former member of the Greentree Neighborhood Association, Chuck Kime: “Greentree is a community-oriented neighborhood where neighbors help out one another.” Folks here take care of their community, evidenced by active participation in the Greentree Garden Club and initiatives like the Adopt-a-Tree program. For those who prefer neighborly warmth to the brisk clip of urban life, Greentree offers a suburban retreat with big-city amenities nearby, like parks and a highly-rated elementary school within walking distance and West Towne Mall a short drive away.

Spacious established homes surrounded by old-growth trees

The winding residential streets of Greentree are lined by sidewalks and manicured lawns, with many homes featuring front-yard flower gardens in the warmer months, with neighborhood landscaping bolstered by the community’s gardening club. Most homes were built between the 1950s and ‘70s, ranging from ranch-style houses and split-levels to contemporary styles, all of which have a well-rooted feel thanks to wooded lots and mature trees. These houses tend to be spacious, with four to six bedrooms and attached two-car garages. Prices start in the mid-$200,000s and can climb to the upper $600,000s, with the median around $440,000.

Walk to Elver Park, the city’s largest community park
