Affordable, with a mix of town and rural opportunities, Greenwood is a place to establish secure housing. Prices are lowest here, which means more effort is needed to reach services and schools. Despite that, many young families are taking up the offer. Local mining history infuses the town with character. Restored buildings, heritage homes and the landmark Greenwood smelter define the town’s identity. Plenty of sunshine and creeks make for easy camping, fishing and gold panning outings. Boutique businesses are popping up.
