Greenwich Park

Greenwich Park sits in the heart of Milwaukee, near the downtown and East Side neighborhoods, and offers independent senior living for people 55 and older, with both assisted living and affordable, service-enriched housing, and when people talk about it, they often mention things like the "Greenwich Gathering Room" where folks come together for community celebrations, parties, or just socializing, or they'll say how the apartments look beautiful and distinctive, coming in different sizes-studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even three-bedroom-with 53 apartments in all, and every apartment's got washer and dryer connections, with heating and electric costs already included in the rent so that's one less thing to worry about, and they didn't forget about on-site parking for those who still drive, and if someone wants to be part of the fun, there's always something going on, like afterschool activities for grandkids, health screenings, job training classes, or just checking out a book from the library or going online with the computer access available. People can bring pets because the community's pet-friendly, and there's always a hot meal to be found in the dining options, plus a general store for picking up those everyday things. Security's tight because of the 24-hour security system around the park. The walking trails let people enjoy a stroll outside, maybe say hello to a neighbor or two, and the common areas are good for parties or relaxing with friends. The place is managed by Mercy Housing, a name folks around here know, and Greenwich Park itself connects to a developer that's involved in upscale apartments, though the focus here remains on affordability and service. People see that Greenwich Park's got both the quiet comforts-like laundry rooms and quick access to stores and food spots-and the benefits of being close to attractions: take a short trip and there's Riverside Park, Black Cat Alley, and McKinley Beach, or drive less than a mile to get to Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Hospital Milwaukee, which is handy in case of emergencies, and for travel out of town, it's about a 20-minute drive to General Mitchell International Airport. Folks also appreciate places nearby for pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks, or Mexican food, and shopping trips aren't hard either with River West Plaza, Bayshore, and Mayfair close at hand. Greenwich Park aims to cover many needs for the people who live there, without being fancy or overdone, but instead focusing on daily living and making sure everyone feels secure and welcome.
