After rezoning, residential construction commenced in 1992 and Woodcroft was formally recognised as a suburb in 1996.

Facilities such as disabled toilets, parenting rooms, and children's play areas, are limited.

Access to public transport is somewhat limited, being via bus to either Blacktown, Doonside or Quakers Hill railway stations.

Since it opened in December 2005, this has improved access to the Hills District, Liverpool, and provided connections to both the M2 and M4 motorways.

The predominant form of housing throughout the suburb is free standing single homes; no residences are apartments and 19.0% are townhouses, semi-detached or similar.

[1] The Blacktown Social Plan shows that compared to the averages across both the City of Blacktown, and the Sydney greater metropolitan area, residents of Woodcroft are more likely to be English literate migrants, working in white collar jobs.

Since there are relatively sparse retail services here, the majority of residents are more likely to work and shop in nearby city centres such as Blacktown, Parramatta or Penrith.
