Greenville is a unique place to live, work and play. Combined with mild winters, large lakes for boating and fishing, more than 200 mountain waterfalls in the region, as well as a dynamic business community, Greenville, South Carolina offers an unparalleled quality of life.

During the day, you'll find everything from bustling corporate employees to full-time art school students blazing their way down Main Street to grab a bite at more than 90 restaurants and sandwich shops, or to broaden their cultural horizons at the museums and galleries along the way.

But, as the sun goes down, the nightlife begins with everything from Broadway shows to late-night theatre showings, fine dining and intimate cafés to rock shows and professional sports, breweries to wine tastings and tobacconists—all surrounding the newly-revived Reedy River Falls Park.

Rated one of the top 25 housing markets in the nation by Expansion Management magazine, Greenville continues to enjoy a steady flow of new residents from all backgrounds, lending to its diverse population and constantly increasing international flavor.

Without a doubt, Greenville has all the attraction of a larger city - yet it's still small enough to call it home.
