Rating 4.04 out of 5 148 reviews
I have not always lived in Spartanburg; however, I have grown to love this place the way one loves an old friend. I have many reasons for loving Spartanburg. For one, it is easy to find groups to connect with, partially because of the size of our county. This has increased my sense of community. Additionally, Spartanburg is fairly diverse. I love that our county is not a monolith, and events like the International Festival give me new chances to appreciate all the different cultures and customs we have here. Another thing I love about where I live is the emphasis on concepts that relate back to Wellness, such as the Arts and Health. One way this can be seen through the way the Chapman Cultural Center thrives and the Butterfly Trails connect people across our county and allow them to better their health at the same time. The only thing I would possibly change about Spartanburg is making public transport more accessible, as bus routes do not go around the majority of the county.
Well developed and diverse area, with a steadily growing population, and many job opportunities available. Many beautiful views and cool things to see, as well as art and other murals decorating many areas. The county is known as "Hub City", due to its major railroad intersections.
Downtown Spartanburg is beautiful, and of course, has a wonderfully vintage and gorgeous buildings and areas.
The public schools here are amazing, and there are many all around. It's a family friendly area, with things to do all around and many affordable places to get something nice to eat with friends.

I love Spartanburg It has really grown up over the last couple of years turning into a place for families to visit and have fun. I love our downtown there are many events and shows put on along side the many places to eat and to be together as a family. Unfortunately, Spartanburg gets a bad reputation because of some of it's trouble areas but overall it is a very safe place to live. I love the schools around the area there are many very good sports teams related to Spartanburg including the Carolina Panthers when they come for fall camp and soon there will be a minor league baseball team. Spartanburg is growing and become one of the biggest towns in South Carolina and I can't wait to see it grow.
