Greenvale has a privately owned school called Aitken College, but residents are pushing for a state government college.Although positioned only twenty minutes from the CBD and ten minutes from
Melbourne Airport , Greenvale has been up until recently known as a semi rural area, categorised by the larger farm holdings to the north of the town centre (past Somerton Rd). Three of these farms (the one bordering Aitken College is known as "Hacienda") are now set for development into a new housing estate, taking advantage of excellent city views to the south and a view of the Greenvale Reservoir to the east. This will continue the trend for Greenvale in undergoing further residential development, with several new estates appearing in the suburb itself and in nearby areas such as Attwood and Roxburgh Park.Greenvale is home to Living Legends, the International Home of Rest for Champion Horses located in Woodlands Historic Park.
