| Profile, Statistics and Indicators |
|---|
| Neighborhood Description: | Community-owned land and a cooperative neighborhood make Crestwood a peaceful haven in an ever enlarging city. Officially known as the Wisconsin Cooperative Housing Association (WCHA), Crestwood was established in 1936. Its quiet streets, natural woodlands and grassy parklands reflect the vision of the founding members of the WCHA who wanted to discourage traffic, preserve the land and provide parkland adjoining every homeowner’s property. Crestwood homeowners are members of the WCHA and jointly own green spaces that include 20 acres of woods. Members are responsible for the upkeep of community-owned property and make annual modest contributions to pay for community expenses. Crestwood is sandwiched between Bordner Park and Owen Conservation Park. Public access paths lead from the residential area to both parks making it convenient for a daily walk or a winter ski. Crestwood Elementary School has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a "Blue Ribbon School.” |
