Executive Director of Mount Greenwood Local Redevelopment, Mary Kiedrow refers to Mt. Greenwood as a "city peninsula." Bordered by 103rd Street, 115th Street, Sacramento Avenue, and Pulaski Road, it is almost completely surrounded by the suburbs.

"Mt. Greenwood is basically a single family community with a high percentage of city workers," Kiedrow says.

The community is home to Marist High School and St. Xavier University.

Mt. Greenwood homes typically run for an average of 128,000. Also, the area is commutable to the city. The Metra Rock Island makes five stops within Greenwood and CTA buses also have routes that run through the neighborhood.
