Living in Greenville, SC

Why People Love Living in Greenville

Greenville is the largest city in the Upstate and one of the most talked-about places to live in the Southeast. Its riverfront downtown, busy restaurant scene and growing job market draw people from all over the country, while the Blue Ridge foothills are less than an hour away.

The Greenville Housing Market

Greenville offers everything from downtown condos and historic homes in close-in neighborhoods to newer subdivisions in the suburbs around the city. Prices near downtown run higher than in nearby towns like Easley, Powdersville and Anderson, which is why many buyers compare several areas before deciding.

Want current numbers for a specific Greenville neighborhood? Ask us for a custom market report.

Schools and Education

Greenville County Schools serves the city and county. The area is also home to Furman University, Bob Jones University and Greenville Technical College. Always confirm school assignments for a specific address with the district.

Things to Do

  • Falls Park on the Reedy: waterfalls and walking paths right in the middle of downtown.
  • Swamp Rabbit Trail: a paved trail system of roughly 20 miles linking downtown Greenville with Furman University and Travelers Rest.
  • Main Street: restaurants, shops, theaters and festivals throughout the year.

Getting Around

Greenville sits along I-85 and I-385, with Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport nearby. Anderson, Easley and Clemson are all within easy driving distance.
