COMMUNITY LOCATION Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Greenville, SC, is a naturally beautiful location. Rolling hills, old growth trees, and a variety of lakes surround the area, while intentional green spaces are strategically placed throughout and merge well with its unique blend of old and new architecture. The area grew to prominence in the 20th century thanks to a booming textile business, while its growth in the 21st century has been more focused on the automobile industry, with Greenville serving as the American headquarters for both Michelin and BMW, among others.
