Hello Amanda, In your reply about "question on crime" you mentioned that you lived outside of DC. I would like to ask you, how would you compare Greenville and DC's crime. On the Sperling list Greenville and DC's crime rate almost the same. I lived in DC too, and the crime is very bad. Is Greenville like DC? Please reply, DCgirl

Personally I think the rating is a bit high. When I watch the news each night almost every crime is in Spartanburg or Anderson - not Greenville. There are definitely high crime areas, as you have in most cities, but I know I very rarely ever see any hint of it - if ever. The downtown area is very clean and newly rejuvenated. I have lived in Charleston, SC, Georgia, and also right outside of DC and I have to say I love it here the most. I've been here for 5 years and have no intentions of leaving. Yes SC schools aren't the best, but the upstate schools are the best in the state if you're determined to live in SC. As a graduate of Hillcrest High, I was very impressed by the high level of morals and Christian presence that was still available in the school setting while I attended (just a few years ago). Out of 3 high schools I attended in different large cities, none other could match it.
