Greenwood, is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located in the City of Joondalup. The suburb is located 17 km from the Perth GPO.
The Gold Land Development Corporation used the name Greenwood Forest as the promotional name of the estate which commenced development in the area in 1969. The reserve between the suburbs of Duncraig and Greenwood was used for the construction of the Mitchell Freeway in 1985-86. The suburb contains a senior high school and four primary schools, and the north-eastern corner contains a small commercial/industrial area centred on Canham Way.
Located in the suburb is a popular pub called the Greenwood Hotel. For obvious naming reasons, The Greenwood is the official support pub for boxer Danny Green.
The suburb is served by bus routes from Warwick and Whitfords, and by the Greenwood railway station, which was built in 2004 and opened on 29 January 2005. The long-promised station was built to reduce peak demand at the nearby Warwick and Whitfords stations.
