A charming suburban area where old and new Greenville meet

Suburban Up-and-Coming Convenient Diverse

Cotton Street itself is just a humble suburban road nearly two miles north of Downtown Greenville. But as the city itself has come under rapid development, this charming suburban, tree-lined area is seeing a mix of new apartment communities and a revitalization of the houses in the area. You’ll find a several locally owned businesses along Rutherford Road and U.S. Highway 276. Just south lies the Colonel Elias Earle Historic District and a few local restaurants like Tommy’s Country Ham House. If you’re looking for a historic rental on a charming lot or student-friendly housing just outside the bustle of Downtown Greenville, the Cotton Street Area has it all.
