My husband and I are thinking of relocating to Greenville, SC or west of that area. Does anyone have any recommendations of areas and neighborhoods we should be looking?
We would like to be in a nice, established area that is close to conveniences. Pretty much a good area to walk our dogs and not too far out in the country - it would be nice to be 10-15 minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and other shopping.
We live on the coast of NC and would like to move inland away from the Hurricane Alley.
Many thanks for any input!
Watching… 👀
I don’t know anything first hand about that area, but when we were planning to relocate we got a lot of good info/data from www.City-Data.com regarding many different things.
I’ve never even been to South Carolina much less Greenville but I do know this:
Before you move check out the demographics and the ethnicity of the place you have in mind. Look at poverty levels, at education levels and median incomes. Wikipedia and many other websites have this data for you to consider.
Go there and spend a week and experience all that Greenville has to offer.
Oh. And get input from fellow FReepers!
I moved 8 years ago. To a place I knew well. But these stats help make my county a real nice and safe place to live.
The political climate in ******* County, TX is very conservative.
In **** County, TX 19.7% of the people voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 79.0% voted for the Republican Party, and the remaining 1.3% voted Independent.
In the last Presidential election, **** county remained overwhelmingly Republican, 79.0% to 19.7%.
***** county voted Republican in every Presidential election since 2000.
The racial makeup of the county was 94.02% White, 0.33% Black or African American, 0.90% Native American, 0.28% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 2.55% from other races, and 1.86% from two or more races. 13.51% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
Depends on your budget. It’s a pleasant enough city with an accessible airport that connects to all the major airports. There is Greenville then there are the surrounding communities.
Greenville Memorial Hospital is one of the best hospitals I’ve ever been in and I’ve been a pharmacist for 37 years. I had a heart attack on the interstate in Greenville coming home from Asheville
The UNC Greenville is a school of massive drunkards, who then graduate to live in and work in Myrtle Beach.
Get way outside and away from Greenville if you have to live in Eastern NC, and not on the coast.
Take time to study the cultural aspects of what you are asking— that is what is being said here.
Western Carolina— the Pirates.
I considered moving to Greenville. Greer seemed very nice. Or Traveller’s Rest. Not expert on either place.
Lockheed Martin has a large plant there - was thinking of relocating there myself.
Personally I would explore the communities of Easley, Seneca, or Landrum. Rural, but commuteable to Greenville.
Greenville used to be real nice. It probably still is.
Dear Lord, you are the wrongest person I know. Western Carolina is the Catamounts. ECU is in Greenville NC.
Was a Republican stronghold. Gradually becoming a liberal hive.
State politicians, all over the country, love to scream PROGRESS from every mountain top. Code for, we want all the “high paying” tech jobs, an industry dominated by the Left so my friends and I can make money on all the land and business deals and move.
Has happened and continues to happen all over the Southeast.
How did NC get so messed up?
I live near Greenville. Just west of Spartanburg actually. You’d love it! It really is quite a conservative area.
I am around Columbia and what times I’ve gone to Greenville, nice city.
If you like nightlife and remarkably interesting restaurants, downtown condo life is exploding.
Southeast in Mauldin area still has 2 to 10 acre hobby farms.
If you still like life on the water, consider Clemson or Keowee lake property.
Go there and spend a week and experience all that Greenville has to offer
Best advice I have seen..
Our great little town in FL is too small to make the City-Data list.
Good.
