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. Prices can start under $100,000 but typically range between $125,000 to $335,000.

Connect with nature at Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve

Park Hill residents can immerse themselves in the natural beauty at Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve. With more than 10,000 trees and shrubs, the 13-acre botanical garden is packed with flora and fauna. Paved paths wind through seasonal gardens, a butterfly garden and several ponds, while gazebos and observation decks provide a place to pause for stunning views. Things are a bit livelier at nearby Stewart Park where it can get especially packed during the summer when children run through the water at the splash pad or fly down one of the playground’s many slides. Residents can also shoot hoops or play a game of soccer on the grassy multi-purpose field.

The oldest house in Spartanburg

Park Hills holds a unique piece of Spartanburg’s history: the Seay House. Believed to be the oldest house within Spartanburg limits, it was built by Revolutionary War soldier James Seay in the early 1800s. The Spartanburg County Historical Association now owns it offering school field trips and private tours throughout the year. Walking through the log home with a field stone chimney, visitors learn the story of Seay’s three daughters, who lived there and ran a farm for many years.
