Greenville SC is a state treasure nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains: southern living at it's best. It truly reflects the unofficial state motto, “Smiling Faces, Beautiful Places.” A Sunday afternoon at the downtown park, Reedy Falls of course, is a step back in time: families picnicking on blankets, children with puppies playing in the waterfalls, jazz on the lawn, fine dining under an umbrella on a observation deck of a renowned restaurant. All and all it's this Quality of Life that brings Peace of Mind. Look at those smiling faces. Friends, coffee shops, theater on the lawn or a latte at an open air cafe on Main street. Yes, that's a day in our peaceful city, Greenville: our home and we love it.

The area's serene surroundings include hundreds of thousands of acres of protected parklands, including three National forests and one national park (see our waterfall gallery, lakes gallery, links page and lifestyle photographs). Greenville County also includes part of the Jocassee Gorges. The Southeast's finest outdoor recreation, championship golf courses, cultural and performing arts, and shopping may be found in our pristine area no matter what your passion or professional pursuits. World-class hotels and restaurants await you and your family. All in all, it is a great place to call home.

The City of Greenville in Upstate South Carolina is located on Interstate 85 between Atlanta and Charlotte - a short drive to Charleston and Asheville. Upstate South Carolina is one of the fastest growing regions in the nation, and is home to 240 international companies. With a population of about 56,000 Greenville keeps a small-town atmosphere, but has the amenities, culture, and recreational opportunities of larger cities - without the traffic jams. Our International airport is one of the best, again, without the crowds. Nearby is the “Land of the Waterfalls” - Highlands, Cashiers and Brevard NC. Make a day or weekend at 6,000 feet up, deep in the Blue Ridge mountains. It is a frequent visit for many from this area. This wilderness paradise is only about one hour away.
