Sadly, I have to agree with you. Greenville itself is a beautiful city. It's the perfect size and basically has everything you need. The downtown is awesome and one of my favorite things. The weather is quite tolerable with four seasons. The downside was not being able to make close friends. We only had acquaintances we'd bump into on occasion when we went out. We tried inviting people over and nobody would ever show let alone respond. This is a big deal to me. Never, have I had this problem anywhere else that I lived. I met one close friend and her sister who were from CA and that was it. I grew up in PA and lived in Central FL 13 years before coming to Greenville. I thought for sure that it was the place after researching for several years. We lived there for four years and had enough. Guess what, we took the same path as you. We now live in Asheville. (thanks to my grown son suggesting it over and over) It's been just over a year and we have had the total opposite experience here. The people are so much more friendly here. People here will do anything for anyone to help. I never lived in such a caring place before. I met another guy, the other day, that lived in Greenville and moved to Asheville. He sai "no matter where you go here, you are never a stranger". He hit the nail on the head. One other thing, weather is another big deal to me. I like the weather better in Greenville but that was not enough to hold me back. I wish Greenville didn't end up being like that because I really do like it otherwise. It's a great place to visit but to live there is another story. Hopefully, this will change over time.
Lake Mary, FL
Living in Lake Mary is great! -
12/1/2010I moved here from PA 11 years ago. I've seen this place grow and for the better. Everything is conveniently located. We have every store and restaurant imaginable, shopping and entertainment. The schools are great and it's very safe to live here. Since the housing market has significantly dropped, you can steal a house. The winters are beautiful compared to up north, although it gets very hot and humid in the summer for several months.(5 months) We are 40 minutes from the beach and Disney. We also have beautiful springs and parks closeby. All in all, I'd recommend Lake Mary to anyone looking to move to FL and outside of Orlando.

Longwood, FL
Moved here from PA -
6/24/2006Longwood is a great place to raise kids. Schools are great, neighborhoods are safe, and everything is easily accessable. Definately would recommend living here if you like it hot. The winter and spring are very pleasant. Temps in the 70's in the day and 40's at night. From May-October it tends to get hot. High 80's to low 90's with afternoon showers. We have been here for about 6 1/2 years and love it. The only downfall is that it is constantly growing and so many people are relocating to the area. We miss the seasons also.
