Luxury Living in Greenville, South Carolina

08/18/2021 // by Don Wessel
luxury living greenville

In a 2018 article published in The Washington Post, writer Dina Mishev had this to say about Greenville, South Carolina: “Residents of this aging Southern mill town knew it still had life in it. It took decades of hard work, but today it surprises visitors with its low-key culture and high-wattage charm.” How observant she was!

Greenville, South Carolina, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and known as the “Textile Capital of the World”, is the sixth largest city in South Carolina. Located on what was originally Cherokee land, Greenville started out in 1768 as a grist mill and trading post at the foot of the Reed River Falls. The area was eventually surrendered to South Carolina by the Cherokee nation, where it remained undeveloped until the military expanded the area during World War I. 

Today, due in large part to an influx of manufacturing jobs, the former textile powerhouse has been transformed into a dynamic metropolis. The revitalized downtown serves as the focal point of the region, attracting new businesses, hosting an emerging culinary scene (named one of “The South’s Tastiest Towns” by Southern Living magazine), and housing what some call the crown jewel of Greenville: Falls Park on the Reedy, a 26-acre city park. And if this were not enough, local trails, and parks like Lake Conestee Nature Park, Glower Estates Park, and Cleveland Park, all give runners, hikers, and families a natural escape from the bustle of the city. 

Also thriving is Greenville’s art scene. Artisphere, a three-day outdoor event held each spring, brings in international artists. This event has received regional and national acclaim and gives residents a chance to meet artists face-to-face as well as shop for one-of-a-kind artwork. Additionally, the Peace Center, a performing arts center, which includes an amphitheater, ample concert hall, theater, and events spaces, regularly brings in top Broadway hits and symphony orchestra concerts.

Having an in-depth knowledge about luxury living in Greenville is just one of the ways how a buyer’s agent can help you learn and make a decision about where to buy your next home.
