A residential hub flanked by mature trees and an easy walk to downtown Greenville
Living close to a city center doesn’t have to mean sacrificing privacy. North Main sits just 2 miles north of Downtown Greenville but trades its dense corners and bustle for tree-shaded streets and suburban tranquility. “North Main has a neighborhood feel right in the heart of downtown,” says Maggie Toler, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Homes Services and longtime Greenville resident. “There are rolling hills, established trees and all the houses have tons of character.” The neighborhood was originally intended to be the city’s business district but became more residentially focused as Greenville grew. But locals can still enjoy the benefits of the central Greenville lifestyle, with reliable walkability and connections to many local parks.
