A pretty city with a vibrant heart

Fast-Growing Universities Wooded Parks Outdoors Art Culture Shops Restaurants Walkable

With tall trees forming a canopy of leaves above the streets, wide sidewalks, beautiful flowerbeds, and historic architecture, Downtown Greenville couldn’t be prettier. But this isn’t just a pretty face – Greenville is a fast-growing, vibrant city noted for its strong job market, numerous universities, and absolutely gorgeous scenery. Just visit Falls Park on the Reedy, a 32-acre urban park that features several waterfalls, a curving pedestrian bridge, and a suspension bridge with amazing views of the river.

Shops, restaurants, and art galleries fill the beautiful downtown area. If you love to shop, have lunch at a sidewalk café, or enjoy dinner at a fine restaurant, look for your Greenville apartment near Main Street. Perched among Downtown Greenville’s historic shops, Noma Square provides a funky, modern contrast. This is a popular area for fun events, festivals, and community get-togethers.

Downtown Greenville provides some terrific destinations. Catch a hockey game or concert at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena or a theatrical performance at the Peace Center. Take the kids for a day of fun and learning at the Children’s Museum of the Upstate, or play putt-putt gold at McPherson Park. If you want to walk, jog, or bike-ride, head to the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail.
