Historic Greenbush was established as a melting pot of different cultures. Because of urban renewal in the 1960s, much of the architecture that reflected the community’s heritage went away. However, traces of “The Bush” as many called it, remain today. One example of historic Greenbush is the Neighborhood House, a community center that provides local groups a space to meet up – just like it did over a century ago when it was founded.
When it comes to food, you can find everything from pizza parlors to international fare. Greenbush Bakery is a favorite within Madison, as it’s the only city bakery that serves kosher-certified doughnuts. Nightlife in Greenbush includes the Rockhound Brewing Company and the Rustic Tavern.
Dipping your toes in one of the many nearby beaches is sure to excite. But if that doesn’t sway you, the polar bears and tigers at Henry Vilas Zoo might. In close proximity to Greenbush – by car or Metro bus – is the University of Wisconsin-Madison, museums, sports facilities, and country clubs.
As of March 2025, the average apartment rent in Greenbush is $1,178 for a studio, $1,532 for one bedroom, $1,837 for two bedrooms, and $2,913 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Greenbush has increased by 1.1% in the past year.
