Life in Greenville, South Carolina

Big City Amenities Alongside Small Town Charm

What’s it like to live in Greenville, South Carolina? Maybe you’ve visited before, or the closest you’ve been to Greenville is reading a feature in the New York Times, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, or checking out Greenville’s tourism website.

The way to describe living in Greenville, SC, is just to say that it’s more — more than strolling through Falls Park, checking out Liberty Bridge, or dining at one of the more than one hundred restaurants located downtown.

It’s more than visiting every booth at our Saturday Farmer’s Market, joining a local athletic league, cycling on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, or cooling down on a hot day with a popsicle from King of Pops.

No, life in Greenville, SC is far more than any of that. It’s everything you’ve ever loved about living in the city alongside plenty of Southern charm and small-town friendliness.

In short, Greenville is all about making a life — not just a living.
