Greenwood occupies a narrow, verdant finger of land that extends into the intricate, labyrinthine waters of Lake Minnetonka. It lies 2.4 miles west of Minnetonka, MN (from Minnetonka, MN: bearing 273°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southwest of Plymouth. The landscape is defined by this intimate relationship with the water, where the horizon is perpetually broken by the silhouette of docks and the dense, quiet stands of hardwood trees that define the regional canopy. During the long, hushed winters, the surface of Lake Minnetonka freezes into a vast, white plain, and the air turns sharp and thin, carrying the scent of dormant timber and frozen earth. Residents often walk the quiet paths near Manor Park, where the light at dusk catches the frost on the tall, yellowed grasses, turning the entire peninsula into a study of muted grays and deep, resonant blues.

Greenwood remains a place of quiet residential character, distinct from the busier industrial centers that once fueled the growth of the surrounding region. The local economy is largely defined by the preservation of this woodland environment, with much of the daily rhythm dictated by the changing seasons and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining the properties that line the lakefront. History here is marked by the gradual transition from early timber clearing to the development of a tranquil, wooded suburb, though the influence of the nearby Minnehaha Creek and the distant, rugged elevation of Mount Gilboa provides a sense of scale to the immediate topography. Life in Greenwood moves with a steady, unhurried cadence, shaped by a collective respect for the deep, glacial basins of the lake and the persistent, slow-moving peace of the North Woods.
