Thank you for this! I moved here for work in 2022 and I have been feeling a little sad lately because I’m still learning the area and don’t know many people, and have felt homesick. But seeing this video reminded me WHY I decided to relocate here and how amazing this city is ❤

It has to of changed,there's tons of people moving there

Why would you tell everyone its nice,it wont be that way for long when its overcrowded

Great info, thanks! I'm a renter getting ready to retire, so looking to relocate from Florida to a friendlier climate and economy. I appreciate your comparison!

Loved hearing all the great comments from your clients about both GVL and working with you. My house is finally on the MLS and as soon as it sells I am headed back home to the South. My top 3 areas on my relocation list are GLV greater area, South Carolina coastal area, and Baldwin County, Alabama ( Fairhope, Daphne, etc.). I will be in touch soon to connect with you and to get your reasons as to why GVL beats out the other 2 areas. Always enjoy your videos.

Is the holistic vet you take your dog to in TR? How long does it take to get to Hilton Head? Charelston? Suburbs of Myrtle Beach? Thank you.

Your best video Will! Hands down

Great video! Have been watching a lot of videos re:Greenville, SC. Will be moving next August and Greenville, SC is definitely moving up on the list!

Just like Piedmont, we're crammed in here like sardines ! Enough !

How much do they go up for communities with amenities. Thanks

Do they have any mental institutions,i might need that.

I agree 😊

Everything Will described is accurate, Pickens has a lot to offer. I live in the Greenville area and my job takes me to Pickens quite often and I would like to share two observations. Even a small town like this is not immune to traffic congestion thanks to the population explosion that affects our state. It isn't nearly what is found in the larger towns but it has become the "new normal". The other thing is law enforcement presence. I have yet to drive through both the county and the town without seeing multiple vehicles from the SC Highway Patrol, the Sheriff's Department and the Police Department and I don't know why. Crime isn't an issue that I am aware of and Pickens doesn't have a reputation for speed traps but I see more LEOs there than I do in Greenville which is a lot larger in both size and population. Just sayin'.

Greenville is full,dont come.

Will what towns have lower property tax rates around Greenville or are they all in the same ball park? Thanks

Anyone purchase a DRB (fka Dan Ryan Builders) Home?

I don't want to live anywhere near an outdoor concert venue.

You can't go east,you run into the ocean,you go south,you go to Florida

Not relocating but decided to go there next week for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Hoping we picked right. :) driving 8 hours… wanted to go to Charleston but wanted something more quaint & wanted to ride bikes & just enjoy time with my hubby in a low stress area ❤ Thanks for sharing down. My best friend lives there & they love the area:). I’m Nervous bc I picked an air b n b at Judson mills lofts…hoping & praying it’ll be a nice place for the week🙏🏻.

JUST CURIOUS DOES SC. GIVE RETIRED PEOPLE A BREAK IN TAXES

I experienced a bigoted and homophobic confrontation with police once. Their police officers there are the same ones that bullied me in high school. But hey, I live in a beautiful home in Los Angeles now and those sorry bigots there are miserable people.

If moving to this area and searching for a church home, know that you’re welcome at Resurrection Baptist in Cowpens!

Awesome news thanks will

Downtown is encouraged to be dense housing. Great content!

Can't wait to see Gracie Plaza go up!

The upstate where I live is turning into be very expensive. People selling family own land to the highest bider crime going up. Its turning into some cities up north. These damm jobs want to pay you like we still in the 1990's

Retired to Greenville three months ago, couldn’t be happier.

Interesting & Informative .... thank you !!!

Why do poor people need to be housed downtown? The middle class can't live there and no one cares.

I carry gun,try to rob me you getting smoked homie.

Why do you realtors keep telling people to move there,its already over crowded.

Hello - What state are you in ? Looks very intriguing.

1978 I purchased a home on lake keowee for $53000 and sold it for $825000 in 2016 Taxes and crowded water traffic on weekends push me away

Cool… except I’d be surrounded by red necks. I don’t like red necks

The more i hear about Greenville the more i like it.

I heard Greenville sc crime rate is higher than national average

Moving to Greenville in early Spring, but flying to check it out in October. I’m looking for best communities around the outskirts (within 45 min to downtown) that is close to walking trails, rivers, parks, etc. Safe, conservative areas good for small family of 3. Id like to find new construction or newish houses with upgraded kitchen/bathrooms, with either mature trees or backing up to woods. Budget from $350-$400K max. Does this sound possible? If so… which areas should I focus on looking when I come in October? Thanks!

You couldn’t be more wrong about one or these builders you mentioned. A quick google search of lawsuits would tell you all you need to know. If your going to put info out for people you should look into what your claims of good builders are.

Are there tiny home communities?

ill watch this so i can finally buy a house when im 70

Hi Will! Thank you for this helpful information!

I read somewhere that Greenville was rated #1 city in the USA for foodies.

So what about custom home builders: Peery Homes, Daniel Builders, Gabriel builders?

We all know where to stay away from. Hoods!

No offense but NYC's mayor claims crime is down too.

That is a lot of qualifiers in your video. 3.25 minutes in before you finally mentioned the first one. (1/4 of the way into the video.) You also only mentioned the large, 'commercial' builders. You did not mention any of the custom builders in the area. Thanks for at least mentioning the best/ worst in the area.

Interesting comments here. Florida is starting to become a financial challenge with home prices, property taxes, FPL costs all shooting up dramatically in the last 3-4 year and with the hurricane activity the last few years, home insurance is going through the roof with fewer carriers as the years go by. Look at the situation Citizens (Florida Govt Insurance) is in. Bottom line is you have to take all those costs in account in FL and budget accordingly but over decades, it can add up to a significant amount of money. Its Peaches to Oranges to me. If you play your money right, you can have both. And by the way, I lived in Orlando for 21 years and now SWFL since 2005 so I've seen some things happen in this state. Good luck to everyone whichever way you go.

I bought some land and had a home built on it. Made the mistake of using CJ3 builders. They had a good price, but now I see why. Terrible build quality. Messed up the concrete pad so they have had to come back and replace broken flooring planks on many occasions. Had to retile both showers, repaint the whole house, fix 3 different water leaks (roof, window, and a door). 1.5 years later and still waiting for them to fix the back patio they graded back towards the house then used the cheapest resurfacing material they half ass applied and look even worse than it did in the beginning. Can’t even walk on it as it will track a while powder everywhere. Save yourself the headache (and money to redo it later) and use a quality builder.

I totally agree. We lived up in TR (Northcliff) and while it was a beautiful setting, it was a bit far from things and we found ourselves driving across town to Woodruff Road regularly. This time around, if we move back to Greenville, we’re going to look at Simpsonville/Mauldin/Five Forks.
