    It's very community oriented. Friendly, suburban, simple. People are mostly families, and most are concentrated into large neighborhood developments.

    Great family community with established and newer neighborhoods. Convenient to stores, doctors, parks, highways and 30 min from airport. Getting more crowded and more expensive.
    There's a nice sense of community in the part of Greenville we currently reside. The housing and neighborhoods are kept up to date and clean and there's a steady influx of new jobs from new businesses moving to the area. There's also a floriishing downtown area which as been cleaned up in recent year and a great amount of events/places to attend. However the additional building of stores and businesses on main roads has increased frustrating traffics and caused an increase of wrecks. Overall, it's a great place to grow up and raise a family.
