This residential region will show you just why Greenville, one North Carolina’s fastest-growing cities, has become known as the Emerald City. Wide streets and gargantuan pine trees make a picturesque setting for the homes and apartments in this popular suburb. Southwest Greenville is also a retail hub for the entire city. 11 Galleria and the Greenville Mall have turned this tranquil locale into a shopping district, with plenty of grocery stores and big-box chains to check out.

This is a popular spot for families in Greenville. A large number of highly-rated schools serve the area, and they’re intertwined with a few moderately-sized Greenville parks like Guy Smith Park and Dream Park.

Southwest Greenville is bisected by US 13, making it the major thoroughfare into and out of the area.
