Cost of living reality check -Greenville

First post here. My partner and I are With a population of 29,936, Greenville is a smaller city. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Anyone in a similar situation? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cost of living used to be much reasonable but now it's pretty good.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Atlanta about 1 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are competitive, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
