Greenwood offers wide-open spaces, tree-lined lanes, and a relaxed pace, all within easy reach of the amenities in Woodstock and Crystal Lake. Set amid rolling countryside in McHenry County, the village appeals to those who value privacy and room to spread out, with acre lots, hobby farms, and quiet cul-de-sacs. Outdoor lovers find miles of trails and prairie views through the preserves managed by the McHenry County Conservation District, and birders flock to the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge for glimpses of sandhill cranes and migratory waterfowl. Commuters appreciate straightforward access to the city via the Metra UP-NW Line, with stations a short drive away.
Families are served by Woodstock Community Unit School District 200, with local students attending neighborhood schools such as Greenwood Elementary and feeding into robust middle and high school programs known for academics, arts, and athletics. Weekends often revolve around the historic Woodstock Square—farmers markets, festivals, and concerts—plus performances at the storied Woodstock Opera House. Afterward, it’s an easy return to stargazing skies and quiet nights back in Greenwood.
