Once a neighborhood with only a handful of homes, Gray Court now includes over 3,500 houses, each along dirt roads and lined by dense forests. A few small shops sit near the train tracks on East Main Street, providing a local hub for mailing packages or browsing antiques. Less than 30 miles from Greenville and a neighbor to Fountain Inn, Gray Court offers access to surrounding counties and cities via the interstate.
New builds next to established homes
Less than 30 miles from Greenville, the neighborhood offers country living within its subdivisions—many of which weave along creeks and rivers. Craftsman-style homes in Winterbrook and mobile homes in Walnut Crest border Fountain Inn, while ranch-style homes in Lake Rabon Estates sit at the southernmost tip of the neighborhood. While many subdivisions surrounding the heart of Gray Court include a homeowners association, homes along East Main Street are often unrestricted and include larger lot sizes. Mobile homes in Gray Court start at $135,000, but new builds in communities like Bentgrass start closer to $315,000. Homes with more acreage boast a higher price point, with four-bedroom ranch-style houses on 2-acre lots starting around $600,000.

Finding adventure and archers
When looking to get outside, there are plenty of options in and around Gray Court. Sanctified Hill Park recently underwent renovation and sits just off South Main Street. The park includes paved trails, a shaded picnic area and new playgrounds. Centennial Park sits in the heart of the neighborhood at the intersection of West Main Street and Ropp Street and includes a green space with a train car. Hunters drive less than 2 miles south of Centennial Park to the Gray Court Tract Wildlife Management Area for a public dove field close to home, and archers had to the Archery and Bow Club to practice their skills and participate in local competitions.

Tire tracks and holiday fests
Residents of Gray Court can decide between motorsport opportunities close to home and quaint festivities just a few miles outside the community. Within the neighborhood, events are mainly concentrated along Greenpond Road at Outback Speedway, Outback Mud Plex and Nxt Lvl 101. For celebrations of seasons and holidays, the bordering community of Fountain Inn hosts several activities throughout the year. “We have an Aunt Het Festival, which is a fall festival, and we’ve got a big Christmas parade,” Kiker says.
General stores and local restaurants
While residents visit businesses in Gray Court for basics and quick eats, trips to surrounding towns are necessary for more extensive shopping trips or dine-in restaurant options. Stores like Produce and More and Family Dollar line East Main Street in the heart of Gray Court. Restaurants like Garcia’s Cuisine reside in the northernmost part of the neighborhood, and centrally located Original House of Pizza serves pies and subs off East Mill Street. For access to stores like ALDI, Food Lion and Publix, locals drive just over 10 miles to nearby Simpsonville. If seeking a selection of locally owned restaurants, the neighboring community of Fountain Inn fits the bill with spots like Cucina 100, Voodoo Brewing Co. and the Farehouse, a recently opened location.

Two counties, two districts
While students in the southern part of Gray Court attend Laurens County School District No. 55, students in the northern part of the neighborhood attend Greenville County School District. Within Laurens County, students attend schools with a C or higher grade, starting with Gray Court-Owings Elementary. From here, students transition to Laurens Middle and Laurens District High. On the other hand, Greenville County ranks as the eighth-best district in South Carolina, and students zoned for this district attend schools with at least a B grade. Students begin at Fountain Inn Elementary before heading to Bryson Middle and either Hillcrest or Fountain Inn High. “Hillcrest High School is really big with football, and we just opened a new high school, Fountain Inn High School,” explains Tracy Kiker of Mungo Home Properties, a Realtor living in Fountain Inn and selling homes in Winterbrook.
Laurens District 55 serves many students of Gray Court and the surrounding areas.
