I came to TR to die lol! I did my research here on niche.com and other demographic websites to find the perfect “ last stop” for this 68 year old Southern woman. I love SC and have lived here off and on since 1967 but was not experienced in the”Upstate”, near the SC and NC mountains. So glad I moved here in 2020, during Covid yet, knowing no one! I simply couldn’t live on the coast anymore in that heat and more frequent hurricanes.
TR and Greenville still retain that old Southern hospitality and friendliness I knew as a youth (Mom and one brother are natives).
PS I’m someone who has lived in seven states and Germany since they were a young child; I’ve lived in lots of trendy areas like Atlanta and Chapel Hill and Ann Arbor, Michigan etc. and you cannot do better than Greenville and South Carolina for quality of living. If you move here, cherish this place and help it thrive through community involvement!

I have lived in Travelers Rest my entire life, and absolutely love it! It is a small town that has a love for the community. I am sad to see that it is becoming a busy and more commercialized town, but am glad to see that it is doing well and growing.
Travelers Rest is a lovely, small community that is walking friendly in downtown and is full of good restaurants. There are many residents that are adverse to the growth and change of the community, however. Downtown is very busy during the warm months due to the Swamp Rabbit Trail and it is lacking in grocery stores, however there are many options within a 10-15 minute drive.
