Small town living

Around 30 miles south of Greenville is the town of Belton, home to nearly 5,000 people with a bucolic setting and pastoral views. “Belton, while still being relatively close to Anderson and Greenville, has maintained a small-town, rural neighborhood feel,” says Scott Sawyer, a realtor and investor in the Belton area who works for the Real company. “It’s a place where you get to know your neighbors.”

Meet up at Anderson County Library or walk the Bubble Gum Rail Trail

Despite Belton’s rural setting, there are plenty of activities for locals to enjoy. “Belton has a good mix of activity and solitude, and the neighborhood community is tight-knit,” Sawyer says. The Belton branch of the Anderson County Library is a popular spot for locals to meet. The library hosts weekly events, including a book club, arts and crafts workshops and card game lessons. Another meeting spot is the Belton Bubble Gum Rail Trail, a walking path decorated with murals that leads through the city’s parks. Locals walk to J. C. Ball Park to play baseball and softball and go to Leda Poore Park for a game of tennis.

Perk up at On the Grind Café and wind down at Sugar Hill Tap House

Locals head downtown to Sugar Hill Tap House in the City Square for drinks. This taphouse hosts trivia weekly on Wednesday nights and has a wide selection of beer on tap and in cans. For dinner, check out Arnold’s of Belton, famous for their homemade hamburgers. Early birds will enjoy On the Grind Café, a coffee shop in downtown Belton that opens at 7 am daily, before walking down Main Street to run errands. “The downtown area is small but filled with local shops and boutiques. It’s a quaint place that’s nice for a Saturday afternoon shopping trip,” says Sawyer.

For a fresh cup of coffee, be sure to stop by the new On The Grind shop in downtown Belton.

Convenient commutes to Anderson and Greenville

While many people live and work in Belton, getting to Greenville or Anderson is not too time-consuming. “It’s very convenient to travel to Greenville or Anderson for work, but Belton was also voted a top town to live in when working remotely, and many people here work from home,” says Sawyer. Anderson is 11 miles west of Belton, taking State Highway 246, and Greenville is 30 miles north along Interstate 85.
