Anyone else love living in Greenville?

Hi all, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 12,911, Greenville is a small town. Household incomes average around $110,103 in Greenville. Median household income is $110,103, which feels pretty solid for the area. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Easy commute
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited cultural events

Bought a house here in 2015 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Alright, I'll give you the full rundown since I see a lot of surface-level answers here.

I've been in North for 14 years. Moved from Boston for retirement. Here's my honest, detailed take:

**Housing:**
The market right now is pretty good. We bought in 2024 at k and it's now worth up significantly than that. If you're renting, expect /mo for a decent 3-bed in a safe area. Lots of new construction which should help.

**Employment:**
marketing is strong here. hospitality is hit or miss. If you're remote, you'll love the cost of living. Average salaries are growing for the area.

**Quality of Life:**
it exceeded my expectations. The outdoor scene is average - we have ski resorts within easy driving distance. Dining has gotten so much better in the past few years.

**Schools (if relevant):**
Varies hugely by district. North schools are hit or miss. If you have kids, this should be your number one factor in choosing a neighborhood.

**The Bad:**
I'd be lying if I said everything is great. Limited public transit options. Nightlife is limited. And housing market can be frustrating.

**Bottom line:**
For couples, I'd say this is a 9/10. Hope this helps!. Feel free to ask specific questions - happy to help.

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it was the best decision I ever made.

Came here for family and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The outdoor recreation is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
