Greenwood Reviews
Rating 3.86 out of 5 7 reviews
Greenwood has been rated the #1 safest town in Missouri and it’s certainly that. It’s quiet with plenty of great, mature trees, as the name would suggest. Our elementary school is outstanding! However, Greenwood’s a bedroom community and outside of one great restaurant and a handful of antique stores, it’s not a very attractive place to settle down if you want to do something within your community. The Parks and Recreation Department hosts several family events throughout the year, but I feel there could just be more. We rely on bigger, surrounding towns for shopping and entertainment.
Greenwood is overall good small town. Half the town is very stuck in their old ways, though. I am glad to be out, but would not mind going back.
There's not much to do here, but it is a safe place to live. Definitely a bedroom town so there's not much shopping or entertainment nearby, except for the local antique shops, which are quite quaint.
