GREENVILLE

Upstate Business and Culture

Greenville is a former textile town in Upstate South Carolina that has evolved into a bustling regional center of culture, commerce, and education. Michelin, Duke Energy, and Lockheed top the list of companies in an area with several local colleges, including nearby Clemson University.

Climate: The entire Upstate region in the Blue Ridge foothills enjoys mild spring, summer, and fall temperatures, with just an occasional dusting of snow in winter.

Healthcare: In addition to a new state medical school, healthcare services in the Greenville area include the extensive Prisma Health facilities network and the Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

Pedestrian-Friendly: The 22-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail ambles along the Reedy River through gardens and parks on the way to a walkable downtown area with art galleries, museums, 100+ restaurants, and nearly 20 local craft breweries.

Culture: The Peace Center for the Performing Arts offers a year-round calendar of music, dance, theater, and special-event shows.

Living at Keowee Key has been the best choice John and I ever made. The community has an energetic and vibrant lifestyle with opportunities to do anything you can think of. The positive energy is amazing, and we really love to connect with newcomers, inviting them to join in our clubs and events.”
