Established as one of three "Greenbelt" communities during the Great Depression, Greendale offers apartments for rent in a historic setting with distinctive architectural character. The village features over 200 original homes with artistic chimney designs, arranged in alphabetized sections where streets share the same first letter. Greendale's downtown area, adorned with thousands of flowers each year, is within walking distance of many rental properties. Located just 6 miles from Milwaukee, the village provides convenient access to city amenities while maintaining its small-town atmosphere.
Rental prices in Greendale average $1,216 for one-bedroom apartments, which falls below Wisconsin's state average. The community connects to Whitnall Park, Milwaukee County's largest park, offering golf courses, botanical gardens, and access to the 135-mile Oak Leaf Trail system for hiking and biking. Greendale High School has received recognition from Newsweek magazine, and the community hosts several annual events, including Saturday Night Fun on the Green concerts and the Village Days celebration, a tradition since 1939.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
