Review of Greenville, South Carolina


The Best Place to live in South Carolina
Star Rating - 2/28/2020
I've lived in Greenville, SC for over 36 years relocating from the low country in 1983. Over the years there has been much change. More positive than negative.
U.S. News analyzed 125 metro areas in the United States to find the best places to live based on quality of life and the job market in each metro area, as well as the value of living there and people's desire to live there.
Greenville ranked:
#22 in Best Places to Live
#26 in Best Places to Retire
Greenville encompasses big-city amenities without attracting the same unpleasantries that come with a more populated, urban metro area. The city has rapidly become known nationwide for it's culinary experiences and a rapidly emerging art scene. The city is truly walkable with it's crown jewel, Falls Park on the Reedy winding through the city. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains the seasons are distinct providing beautiful fall foliage and green tree lined city streets in the Spring and Summer.

How are the climates in Greenville and Chattanooga? Mostly the June through September temps and humidity? Any chances of winter snow?

If only they could do something about their sub-par roads.
