🌳 Established🚗 Car Dependent🏡 Quiet Residential🤝 Community👨👩👧 Family Friendly
Greenwood earns its name — big trees line its main streets, parks are plentiful, and native bush at Star Swamp sits nearby. It’s a well-established, family-oriented suburb where people lose dogs and the whole community mobilises to find them. The Joondalup train line makes city commuting workable, but station parking fills fast and daily life is largely car-dependent. The pub and shopping centre are reliably old-school. Rising prices have pushed some buyers further north, cementing Greenwood’s reputation as a solid, leafy middle-ring address.
Houses here have a median value of $1.00M and rent of $780/week, close to the Perth metro median. The commute to Perth CBD is a 19-minute drive by car or 55 minutes by transit, and most residents drive (65%). With a safety score of 70/100, the area rates 18 points above the Perth metro average of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. With 4 schools scoring 66/100, education here is well above average. The population has a median age of 40 and earns $1,949/week per household.
