Life in Spartanburg and Upstate South Carolina.
Spartanburg is located in Upstate South Carolina and is 30 miles from Greenville. Both towns are located two-thirds of the way between Atlanta and Charlotte on the Interstate 85 corridor. The region is a major innovation hub and is home to more than 100 Fortune 500 companies, of which BMW’s partner Clemson University and the ITRC have become one of the epicenters. Upstate South Carolina enjoys long hot summers and mild winters. Breathtaking scenery and National Parks make both cities an Eldorado for sports and nature lovers. Bike friendly Spartanburg (municipal population 37,000 and urban population of 181,000) has many parks and offers an abundance of safe trails and scenic walks along local waterways. The city offers a year-round program of attractions to keep everyone entertained. These range from music and street festivals to the SouthEast LinuxFest, an annual open source software event.
Vibrant Greenville (municipal population of 71,000 and an urban population of 524,000) is a strong rival for entertainment with more than 300 events each year such as Fall for Greenville and Artisphere. With over 1,000 restaurants, Greenville is quickly becoming known as a “Foodie paradise”.
For those looking for a mix of exciting city life and the great outdoors, or simply a great environment to raise a family, both locations offer an ideal mix. As booming metropolitan areas both towns also have top educational facilities and first class healthcare. Upstate South Carolina residents enjoy a cost of living roughly 10% lower than the national average.
