Profile, Statistics and Indicators

Neighborhood Description:	A sleigh ride through the neighborhood. Enjoying warm and tasty desserts by a bonfire. Who wouldn't want to be part of this neighborhood! East Buckeye Neighborhood is located on Madison far southeast side. Single-family homes with friendly neighbors makes this neighborhood a great place to live. One of the treasure troves is Orlando Bell Park: a large neighborhood park with a shelter, basketball court, soccer fields, and a playground area. PLUS, a wooded greenway and detention pond brings a sense of northern woods living to our urban neighborhood. As you walk down our quiet residential streets, you will notice bi-level or ranch single-family homes built between the late 1970s to early 1990s on at least 8000 square foot lot. The East Buckeye Neighborhood is a "family" neighborhood with adults and children of all ages. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood where people from all walks of life can live and raise a family. .
Neighborhood Boundaries:	East Buckeye Road on the north, Highway I-90 on the east, the Chicago Northwestern Railroad on the south and west
Neighborhood Statistics Indicators:	The Neighborhood Indicators Project is a demonstration of key characteristics and various indicators that relate to the quality of life in Madison at the neighborhood level.

The Plan’s objective is to create a new vision for the Stoughton Road Corridor from Highway 12/18 north to Highway 30. The Plan establishes a clear sense of place, establishes Stoughton Road as a Gateway to the City, promotes a positive business climate, connect neighborhoods, generate design standards, updates land uses and zoning patterns, and generates multi-mode transportation opportunities (2008). -East Buckeye Neighborhood Association raises and donates funds to local area causes (i.e. field trips, food bank) throughout the year. -East Buckeye Neighborhood Association organized the dedication of Orlando Bell Park memorial and reflection bench (2005).
