Greenwood Terrace

Greenwood Terrace. A name that whispers of tranquility, yet stands tall amidst the vibrant energy of Chai Wan. We stand before Greenwood Terrace, a testament to Hong Kong’s innovative approach to housing. Completed in 1985, Greenwood Terrace is a unique blend of public and private ownership. This Home Ownership Scheme, a collaboration between the Hong Kong Housing Authority and New World Development, offers a glimpse into the city’s efforts to provide affordable housing. Greenwood Terrace isn’t just a cluster of buildings; it’s a community. Seven residential blocks house over 2,100 units, creating a microcosm of Hong Kong life. The 2016 census painted a picture of this community: a population of 6,342, a median age of 45.6, and predominantly Chinese residents. The average household, comprising 3.2 people, earned a median monthly income of HK$43,000. This data offers a snapshot of the lives within these walls. As you gaze upon Greenwood Terrace, imagine the daily rhythms of life unfolding within. Residents returning home after a long day, children playing in the courtyards, the aroma of dinner wafting from open windows. Greenwood Terrace is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a story of collaboration, a testament to the city’s commitment to its people, and a vibrant piece of Chai Wan’s tapestry. Our exploration of Greenwood Terrace concludes here, but its story continues.
