The storied history of Overbrook
Overbrook is one of seven historic districts credited as the first suburbs of Greenville. "People move to Overbrook for many reasons," says Gina Calvin, Realtor with Allen Tate Company and a Greenville real estate agent for 31 years. "But mainly it’s because of the beautiful, historic homes that offer so much character." Though just a mile from urban downtown Greenville, Overbrook is bathed in green foliage, with wide streets and sidewalks shaded by old oak trees. Residents tend to their gardens, and many keep bees, giving the neighborhood a natural landscape. Since 2010, new businesses have been moving into Overbrook, along with modern residential buildings, but the historic homes are carefully preserved. Overbrook has become a testimony to Greenville's past while embracing continuous change.
Overbrook is located a short distance from downtown Greenville.
Tall trees can be found all around the Overbrook neighborhood.

Historic Craftsman homes and brand new builds
On the west side of the neighborhood is the Overbrook Historic District, which is full of homes that date back as far as 1910; the most common architectural styles are Craftsman and Colonial Revival. More of the new construction properties are to the east, with new traditional and board-and-batten houses built on half-acre lots. Though Overbrook is close to the urban center, the neighborhood association works hard to maintain the forest-like appeal. Della Scott, President of the Overbrook Neighborhood Association, mentions that everything from small cottages to large two-story homes can be found in the neighborhood, the mixture appealing to a wide range of potential buyers. In Greenville, local historic districts review any proposed exterior architectural changes and ask that new work fit the surrounding historical context. Design guidelines are in place to help those hoping to renovate an older home craft something that will be approved to fit into the neighborhood.
