Reasons why people LOVE Greenville, SC

A few weeks ago, I had mentioned that Dan Ryan Builders was building three new communities being built in the Greenville area- Carilion, Verdmont, and O'Neal Village. Now, I told you guys what awesome things there were to do in Greenville, but in case you needed a bit more convincing of why this area is so special, here it is:

"1. Downtown
Greenville has an amazing downtown. If you are coming from I-85, just hop on I-385 and it takes you right to main street! Once there, a visitor has a wealth of sights, sounds, and smells. Not only do restaurants of all price ranges abound on main street and the surrounding roads, but we have so many coffeehouses (one is even underground!) and our very own quaint hardware store. Come in the evening and you will have your choice of music in several of the restaurants and bars.

Not only are there many attractions, but Greenville is planned very well. They have plenty of parking with clear signs on how to get there. In fact, on weekends (when most people are downtown) parking is free! Walkways abound with wide sidewalks and safe places to cross.

The crown jewel of the downtown is Falls Park, a beautiful green space with a large suspension bridge and waterfall. Nestled right in the middle of the city, Falls Park is a home away from home where many come to eat their lunch, have a picnic, play in the water, or maybe just sit on a bench and watch the world go by.

If non-stop Internet access gets you excited, Greenville has that too. Free wireless is wherever you need it.

2. Entertainment

There is always something to do in Greenville! We have a seemingly endless supply of museums, musical performances, plays, artists, outdoor concerts, fireworks, markets, festivals and much more! And if Greenville doesn't have enough, then there are activities in our sister cities of Simpsonville, Spartanburg, and Greer.

3. Biking

Greenville is bike friendly too and the award-winning Swamp Rabbit Trail leads from the heart of downtown almost 25 miles through beautiful countryside and past Furman University.

4. People

Some of the friendliest people live in this area. It truly is a cross section of America where many, just like me, have come to enjoy all that Greenville offers. Social clubs, churches, and community events bring the city together and although there are hundreds of thousands in the metro area, it feels like a small town wherever you go.

5. Opportunities

Greenville was recently rated the top micro city of the future. Great things lie in store for Greenville, but it is a wonderful place to live and work in today. Some of the major businesses in the area include Michellin, BMW, IBM, Lockheed Martin, 3M and Honeywell. But what makes Greenville truly spectacular is all the small mom and pop stores run by people who are bound to become your friends.

6. Real estate

Real estate prices on average have not been affected as severely as other parts of the region and Greenville and the surrounding areas have done as well as any. Even though the Greenville SC real estate market is better than most, there are plenty of deals to be found."

Now, if you need more convincing than that, I don't know what to tell you. It's clear that everyone who visits Greenville falls in love and those who live there wouldn't trade it for the world.
