- A few newer condos and apartments, but mainly Craftsman, Northwest Aesthetic, and Midcentury Modern architecture make up the neighborhood of Greenwood. With an amazing walk score of 93, Greenwood is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll.
- Quaint little shops, a good variety of restaurants, a community theater and bars and coffee houses form the small business district. Sandel Park has a playground and wading pool, and Greenwood Park, a former plant nursery, was converted by volunteers into a small family-friendly park.
- Annual events such as the Greenwood Street Soccer Tournament and a large classic car show, and combined activities with Phinney Ridge such as Phinneywood Rainbow Hop and Phinneywood Garage Sale Day celebrate life in this Seattle urban village.
