re: A couple questions for those who are familiar with Greenville SC

Some of our really good friends live there so we go up there quite often as it's only a hour and a half drive from us(Athens).

I really enjoy it, and as a lot of other people have mentioned it's got a lot to offer. The downtown area is fantastic, a good mix of restaurants, bars, shops, as well as some family friendly options. Falls park is right beside downtown and is a great place to take the family, plus they have a lot of events there.

Traveling on 85 and the adjacent roads can suck, especially as they are doing a lot of construction as the growth is Greenville inst keeps exploding. However besides peak rush times traffic is not really too bad.

You have great access to hiking trails, as well as you're very close to Lake Keowee and Hartwell.

I think you will love it, it's a great place to live.
