Serene slice of Spartanburg
Named for its historic baseball stadium, Duncan Park is a cozier pocket of Spartanburg—though still close enough to the action that residents don’t have to miss out. Just over 3 miles from Spartanburg’s downtown, the neighborhood offers urban access among a backdrop of beautiful nature and suburban charm. “It’s an established neighborhood in a lot of ways, but there’s also a lot of revitalization happening in that part of Spartanburg specifically,” says Marshall Jordan, Realtor with Coldwall Banker Caine and longtime resident of the area. “So you get an interesting ‘traditional but with flair’ sort of feel.” With its access, natural beauty, and convenience, Duncan Park makes a compelling case for those looking to be close to the action in Spartanburg—but not too close.
Many small events and festivals take place on the weekends right outside of Duncan Park.

Traditional styles in Duncan Park
True to its ‘traditional, but with flair’ description, Duncan Park features a wide variety of established homes with classic styles. Traditional homes range from ranch styles to Cape Cods, along with the occasional split-level builds. Homes are situated along the neighborhood’s hilly, winding streets—with some offering serene views of Duncan Park Lake and others immersed in lush greenery. “There’s new construction available, but in general, that area hasn’t seen quite as much construction as some nearby areas,” says Jordan. “So it’s one of the more classic—and buyer-friendly—neighborhoods on Spartanburg’s east side.” Additionally, the fact that homes are generally more established also means that lots are generally larger than surrounding areas. Prices in the neighborhood typically range from $165,000 to $350,000.
Ranch style homes are the most common types of houses in the area.
Most single-story homes sit on smaller plots of land in the area.

Andrew's Atomic Dogs is a Duncan Park favorite
With downtown Spartanburg just minutes away, residents of Duncan Park have no shortage of shopping and dining options. “You’re next to pretty much all the major roads, so you can easily get to any number of cool restaurants or shops,” says Jordan. What was once an old gas station is now home to the Flock Shop, a local eatery that serves up hot chicken and other southern favorites in a vibrant atmosphere. Just down the road is another local favorite, Andrew’s Atomic Dogs—a classic diner where residents can walk up to the counter and order an atomic dog topped with chili. For grocery needs, residents can cross items off their shopping list at the nearby Ingles Market.
The Flock Shop is one of the more popular restaurants in the area.
