Neighborly suburb near Spartanburg

The rolling hills and established homes in Wadsworth Hills, a small suburb of Spartanburg, bring in buyers in search of a neighborly community just steps away from shopping centers. “It’s not a transient neighborhood,” says Rhonda Porter, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Caine and an 18-year resident of Wadsworth Hills. “People who move here stay for a long time. Everyone knows each other and looks out for each other.” While there aren’t many parks inside the neighborhood, the 200-or-so homes built in the 1960s were developed with the goal of preserving the area’s natural beauty, hence the abundance of hills. Newer construction in the area is dedicated mainly to townhouses and apartments.

From ranch-style to Colonial Revival

A combination of ranch-style and tri-level homes are the primary options in Wadsworth Hills. Potential buyers might occasionally see a Colonial Revival house dotted along the streets as well. Many homes have been built on uneven terrain because of the neighborhood’s hilly nature, and there is no shortage of foliage, making the modest-sized lots feel more secluded. Because Wadsworth Hills was developed in the 1960s, many houses have additional potential to increase value through basic upgrades. With house prices ranging from $170,000 to $300,000, Porter says, “Homes tend to sell fast. They don’t stay on the market long, especially if they're in good condition. We’re not experiencing extended days on the market." While the nearby Interstate 26 does create some noise, it doesn’t reach the residential areas thanks to the buffer created by the neighborhood’s retail section, which takes up roughly half of Wadsworth Hills. More than half of residents are renters, with close to twice as many apartments in the neighborhood compared to the number of homes.

Walk to the pocket park

At the small community pocket park off St. Matthews Lane, kids can walk or ride their bikes to play on the playground in the small green space. Larger parks with more amenities are within reach. Porter says, “The parks in Spartanburg are strategically placed so people can reach somewhere like the Tyger River Park or Duncan Park within 20 minutes.” For an indoor experience, find high-flying action at the Big Air Trampoline Park. The entertainment venue is packed with trampoline dodgeball courts, foam pits, launch pads and a climbing wall.
St. Matthew's Community Park is a cozy place for the locals to enjoy.
