Unique history and charm, modern growth and expansion
A part of Spartanburg’s storied past as a hub for the textile industry, Drayton has come a long way since its early days. The neighborhood’s centerpiece, the historic Drayton Mills, has been transformed from a textile factory into a sprawling post-industrial, mixed-use space. The area’s hip vibe comes from its appealing mixture of natural beauty, local history, and unbridled urban access—with downtown Spartanburg just minutes away. “That area is thriving, and it’s attracting a lot of people,” says Marshall Jordan, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Caine and longtime resident of Spartanburg. “They’re really transformed Drayton without removing the old spirit of it—and there’s more growth to come.”
Drayton Mills is a local attraction for residents and visitors alike in Drayton.

Drayton Mills is packed with shopping and dining
Where historic Drayton Mills once stood, residents can now find a bustling community hub. The original campus, built in 1902, has been updated to feature apartments, restaurants, and a coffee shop—all in the name of providing residents plenty of options in a hip setting that brings the community together. Pi-Squared offers up a laid-back spot to grab Detroit-style pizza, while letting visitors enjoy the view of the Drayton Mills Pond. For after-work drinks with friends, Holiday Brewing makes for a great spot to unwind and enjoy craft beer, with outdoor seating and live music on the weekends. Just one mile east of the neighborhood, residents can find big box grocers and chain restaurants along East Main Street—spots like Hickory Tavern and Panera Bread for a quick bite to eat, or The Fresh Market and ALDI for groceries.
Drayton Mills brings the community together with various vendors in a central location.
Dray Bar & Grill has great food and a full bar as well as selling pet products made locally.

Contemporary or classic, Drayton has both
Drayton’s history and personality can be found among its established homes, though the area’s continued growth means new construction is becoming increasingly common. Custom and modern contemporary builds featuring open floor plans and two-car garages have been and continue to be built in the neighborhood, with prices for these newer homes ranging from $300,000 to $400,000. Established homes are primarily mill-style, bungalow and ranch style with mixed lot sizes often surrounded by foliage. Prices for these established homes range from $125,000 to $275,000. Townhouses and condominiums have also become more common in recent years, with prices for those ranging from $215,000 to $300,000. Compared to some other nearby Spartanburg neighborhoods, Drayton’s market is decidedly more friendly. “The area has a great mix of smaller homes with a lot of charm, and those often come at a lower price point compared to surrounding areas,” says Jordan.
New construction communities offer incredible homes and lots throughout Drayton.
Some Drayton streets have smaller bungalow style homes at affordable prices.

Adams Park is great for a day outside
Residents can immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty of the area, with Drayton Mills featuring a 2-mile paved path surrounding the campus. The trail extends into certain residential streets, meaning that many locals can walk out their front door and be on the trail in seconds. “It’s one of the coolest benefits of living in Drayton,” says Jordan. “It’s a great way to stay active, but it’s also great for the sense of community.” Plans are in the works to connect the trails as well, with the goal of making Drayton a highly walkable neighborhood. Adams Park is another option for residents, with it featuring over nine acres of green space. Those looking to get active can also do so at the park, with a baseball diamond and a basketball court available too.
Adams Park is just across the trail from the mill and has a baseball diamond.
