Scenic Spartanburg living among the rolling hills of South Carolina

Rural Scenic Breweries Suburban Peaceful

Located less than eight miles north of Spartanburg and 33 miles northeast of Greenville, Boiling Springs is an attractive upstate suburb set among the rural South Carolina landscape. Named for a now-defunct natural spring that sat at the center of town, Boiling Springs is a tranquil setting for those who enjoy the countryside, or just want a bit more peace and quiet after commuting to Spartanburg or the surrounding area.

There are upscale single-family homes, rustic-style apartments, and more traditional houses available to renters in this 6.8 square miles town. A select number of restaurants and shops line Boiling Springs Rd., and there’s Va-Du-Mar McMillan Park for those days when you just want to be outside. As Spartanburg continues to grow, Boiling Springs is receiving more big-city amenities like breweries and distilleries. The city isn’t far though, thanks to the collection of Interstates nearby.
