Greer South Carolina is one of the fastest growing cities in South Carolina,
and for several good reasons. The BMW manufacturing plant located in Greer, SC
has added 3000 jobs over the years and is in the process of expanding the plant
to double capacity. Central Greer is only a short 20 minute drive to the
amenities of downtown Greenville, yet offers a variety of properties that will
meet almost any need. The properties range from downtown historic homes, to a
variety of suburbs, waterfront homes on Lake Robinson and Lake Cunningham, and
rural properties with mountain views in the northern part of Greenville and
Spartanburg counties.
Population in excess of 20,000. The city of Greer is known as
Greer Station and most of the downtown is National Historic District. In recent
years public partnerships have begun to renovate and re-make the downtown area
while preserving the charm and quality of the turn of the century buildings. The
downtown area of Greer has seen a makeover of historic buildings, historic
homes, mill houses and primary businesses of years gone by while adding a new
city hall and downtown park. The improvements have made it an attractive
place for restaurants and to just hang out. A recent George Clooney movie,
Leatherheads was filmed in Greer, SC with the classic look of the downtown store
fronts.
A variety of Greer, SC real estate suburbs are available with
many of them less than five years old. The
city has pushed it limits southward
and now crosses I-85 into the Golden Box area of Greenville County that will see
growth in the near future and provide newer style homes. The Riverside High
School, one of the top high schools in the state, area always attracts families
and homeowners. Many of the homes in the Riverside school district are older, in
mature subdivisions with larger lots. The Thornblade Country Club is included in
the Riverside School district area and sports a top notch golf course.
The area surrounding Greer has plenty of open land to spread out
in therefore new home construction abounds. The proximity to Greenville city and
inexpensive housing contribute to make Greer an ideal place to live for young
couples starting out in their first home.
To the north of Wade Hampton Boulevard, or State Highway 29,
you’ll find subdivisions, lake front properties, and more rolling terrain as you
progress northward. Lake Robinson and Lake Cunningham are medium size lakes that
have seen some nice developments over the past few years. You can not swim in
Lake Robinson and the horsepower on boats is limited to 10 hp, but the quite and
natural allure is still intoxicating.
As you head further north, a more rural feel to the land is noticeable. Distinct
mountain views and horse properties are stunning. The Cliffs at Glassy and the
new Mountain Park Cliff Community are two of the Cliffs Communities which take
advantage of this natural beauty and provide an idyllic golf course setting in
high end communities.
There is a lot going on in Greer these days from Children's Theatre productions
and Chili Cook-offs to now city buildings. Come on down to Greer Station and see
the changes.
