Greenville Overview

Though it has a humble name, Greenville is far from humble. It’s a part of South Carolina’s third largest urban area, and it is also the fastest growing, probably due to an influx of manufacturing jobs from companies like Michelin and AVX Corporation. Greenville is certainly a city to watch out for, so now’s the time to start looking for apartments in Greenville. It’s especially booming for young people—a surprisingly high proportion of Greenville residents are single young adults who are upwardly mobile. Greenville is a great place to live, not only because of the job prospects, but because it’s also in one of the most beautiful parts of South Carolina.

Why live in Greenville, SC?

Living in apartments in Greenville gives you the opportunity to live the city life while surrounded by beautiful countryside in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s not only a beautiful and pleasant place to live, though, it’s also a smart city. Almost 42% of adults have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, which is double the national average. Perhaps because of the high degree of education, the citizens of Greenville make a good living, for the most part. At about $31,000, the income per capita is very high for a city in South Carolina. Living in Greenville is not just pleasant—it might also be prosperous.
