Overview
The energetic city of Greenville, South Carolina has become a fixture on ‘best’ lists — best downtown, best place to raise a family, best city park, best cycling and outdoor destination, and much more. It’s perhaps the country’s best worst-kept secret.
Greenville’s downtown is a mecca in the new South with waterfalls and tree-lined streets, cafes, sidewalk dining, boutiques, and the only single-suspension pedestrian bridge in America spanning the cascading Reedy River that runs through and the 26-acre Falls Park in the heart of downtown.
Beyond the streets of downtown Greenville, you’ll find yourself at the center of endless opportunities to explore the great outdoors. The paved, 21-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail travels from Greenville through the campus of Furman University to a town as charming as its name: Travelers Rest. Nearby in every direction are countless state and national parks for hiking, biking and endless exploring.
Greenville is home to some of the state’s finest hospitals and health facilities, as well as top-ranked school systems and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. Nearby universities include Furman University, offering continuing education through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) and Bob Jones University.
