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.
