National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states
Apartment List has released Greenville’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Greenville renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "They gave most categories above average scores."

The Viola Street Area offers affordable housing just minutes from downtown Greenville's popular Falls Park and Main Street dining. Rental homes typically feature more yard space than downtown properties at a fraction of the cost. The neighborhood is currently experiencing revitalization, with ongoing investment creating positive momentum in this historically underserved area.
Revitalization energy transforms North Main Area, where historic mill houses and Victorian homes undergo restoration just blocks from downtown Greenville. Residents enjoy walkable access to the award-winning Falls Park on the Reedy and the Swamp Rabbit Trail's 22 miles of paved paths. The neighborhood's proximity to Heritage Green provides cultural amenities including the children's museum and main library. Though some blocks remain in transition, the strong sense of community is evident in porch gatherings and street festivals. Many homes feature generous yards with mature trees—uncommon in newer developments but prized for outdoor entertaining in Greenville's moderate climate.
Artisan craftsmanship thrives at the 1926 West End Market's 50+ local vendors. Renters enjoy walkable bungalows but face sparse tree canopy (only 22% coverage) in this sun-baked grid. The Catchy Clutter vintage shop's rotating window displays draw Instagrammers nightly.
