Greendale, Wisconsin was built to be a charming, walkable community. Still is!

Greendale, Wisconsin is a place that draws you in, whether you’re just visiting or putting down roots. Built as a planned suburb of Milwaukee by the WPA during the Great Depression, Greendale’s walkable streets and storybook charm feel like a Norman Rockwell painting brought to life.
