Suburban living outside downtown Spartanburg
Convenient access to downtown Spartanburg, the local mall and one of the city’s most popular parks is the biggest draw for newcomers moving to Park Hills. This suburb is just off Route 29, where the buzz of city life can be felt less than 2 miles away. “It’s an older community. Most of the residents have lived there for a long time so you’ll find neighbors are friendly,” says Rhonda Porter, a lifelong resident of Spartanburg who’s also a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Cain. That kindness, along with an active neighborhood association that holds regular community clean-ups, creates a connected community feel. Homes here are primarily bungalows and ranch styles with larger Colonial and Tudor Revival-inspired designs sprinkled in.
