Located on Milwaukee’s Northwest Side,
Greentree Apartments provide housing to low-income families. The
meticulous upkeep of the buildings and grounds belie traditional
stereotypes of low-income housing.
The development is comprised
of 264 apartments on nine acres of land. There are 24 one-bedroom units,
200 two-bedroom units, and 40 three bedroom units. So great is the need
for affordable housing for families, that the waiting list for the
larger units can be as long as five years. Residents pay 30 percent of
their income in rent; the remainder is picked up by the federal
government.
The Greentree & Teutonia Community Learning
Center opened in 1998, providing 22,000 square feet of program space.
Head Start, day care, after-school programs, meal services, and senior
activities bring bustling life to this young building in a
well-established, low turn-over housing community.
