Peoria, IL — November 14, 2014 —

Greenwood Estates, formerly Village Green Apartments, will hold a grand opening at noon on Wednesday, November 19, 2014.  The grand opening event will feature remarks by Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis, Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich, and new and long-time residents. A brief tour of the property’s improvements and facilities will follow the remarks.  Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Greenwood Estates is a 120 unit community for low income families in Peoria. Under new management by the Capital Realty Group of New York, and local property manager Jennifer Davidson,  the property has undergone extensive renovations and changes in the last year.  This has resulted in a marked decrease in the problems previously experienced at the property when it was known as Village Green.

Significant improvements have allowed Greenwood to focus on being a safe, secure environment for working families to enjoy.  These improvements have included:

  • Becoming a secure, gated community
  • On-site and emergency maintenance
  • New landscaping and grounds beautification
  • A security detail, staffed by off-duty Peoria police officers
  • Newly-renovated  apartments
  • Washer/dryer hookups
  • Keyed access
  • New energy- efficient HVAC systems
  • Ample parking

New landscaping has replaced areas that were previously eroded, with new plantings and grass.  The residents report that the property is now quiet and safe, making them feel more secure.

Greenwood Estates is conveniently located close to downtown Peoria, the Peoria Civic Center, pools and parks.

The public and the media are invited to the Grand Opening event on November 19th to see the renovations, which marks a new beginning for the property, and benefits the city as a whole.
