Space to spread out along the Reedy River
South Downtown offers a nearly suburban feel right alongside the heart of Greenville. Residents enjoy access to the city’s top restaurants and retailers and proximity to major parks and trails. “Greenville is my chosen home. I’ve lived here for almost 30 years, so we lived in Greenville before it was a place to go or a destination. Our city planners have done a remarkable job revitalizing downtown and keeping our textile roots,” says Vickie Leonard of Boulder Ridge LLC, a Realtor with nearly a decade of experience with the local market. South Downtown symbolizes the city’s continued improvements, sporting immaculately maintained green spaces and preserved historic homes, with many residents seeking out the neighborhood for long-term residency.

Large lots and spacious homes near downtown Greenville
Condo buildings and apartment complexes sit alongside classic brick cottages and Cape Cods. Many houses sit on lots close, if not over, half an acre in size. The neighborhood is separated from much of the city’s hubbub courtesy of the Reedy River, but sidewalks connect the community right to the center of the city. “What fascinates me about real estate is how a 300-thousand dollar home can coexist on the same block as a million dollar one,” says Celeste Purdie, Realtor with the Greenville Dream Team of Marchant Real Estate. “There’s a reason people pay high prices to live near downtown. The city feel is attractive to plenty of homebuyers.” Home prices trend above the city and national average. Townhouses and single-family homes below 3,000 square feet can cost between $400,000 and $600,000 while historic homes in Alta Vista run anywhere between $900,000 and $2 million. Condo units can sell anywhere between $180,000 and $300,000.
Brick homes can be found in South Downtown with lots of front foliage.

Hip restaurants and shops within walking distance
From bustling breweries to top-rated restaurants and chic clothing boutiques, South Downtown is close to some of the best that Greenville has to offer in way of shopping and dinning. “You’ve got Jianni for Italian, Halls for steak, Rick Erwin’s for local Southern. It’s very eclectic,” Leonard says. Fashion hubs like Custard Boutique and cozy book shops like M. Judson Booksellers are also within a mile of home. For errand runs, McBee Station is just a mile north and has a Publix Supermarket, while August Street a mile south has a Harris Teeter, banking locations and pharmacies.
Though there is no grocery store in South Downtown, Publix on McBee Avenue is a short drive.
