The Greenleaf House has become a hub in the Glenwood Avenue Art District of Roger’s Park, where all flavors of creative artists have lived and collaborated for several decades. The Mile of Murals—a community-based public art initiative—begins half a block from our front door. Within easy walking distance you will find a bustling nightlife, small theaters and music venues, several locally-owned eateries, and Loyola Park, which has a great playground and arguably the best sand beach in the city.
