Duncan combines all the charm of a small town with the convenience of a big city thanks to its location among the Greenville-Spartanburg metroplex. A population of just over 3,000 means Duncan is perfect for renters looking for a community feel, but there’s still plenty to do in this small town. Locals gather at the BBQ spots in downtown, and kids play at the few small parks scattered around the landscape. There’s an even mix of low-rise apartment communities and single-family homes that remain affordable. Both Greenville and Spartanburg are less than a 30-minute drive to the west and east, respectively.
