Who’s Moving to Greenville, South Carolina?
Take a look at just about any Facebook Page about Greenville, SC and you’ll see that lots of people are moving here. There are plenty of vocal residents here who are always complaining about the outsiders moving to Greenville. What cracks me up is that most of those who express that attitude themselves moved here from somewhere else. It’s pretty rare to run in to true Greenvillians these days. They are here but they are outnumbered by those who have arrived from elsewhere.
For me this fact that there are so many people who have moved here from around the country and around the world make this such an interesting place. You have the mix on the incredible charm and history of South Carolina combined with a growing and robust economy attracting all kinds of companies and people to the state and specifically here to the Upstate.
According to this article in the Greenville Journal, “Greenville County‘s population is expected to grow by 222,000 residents and 86,000 new jobs by 2040, according to a recent county report. The population today stands at 514,000. Already the county is planning a number of community meetings to address the current plans to handle the continued population boom.”
Our family moved here from Minnesota July 2019. We’ve been here three years and there continues to be great change here to the Upstate. The building that has gone on both in terms of commercial / industrial as well as residential has been great to see. The road remain an issue here and probably always will be. But as America starts to bail out of the northern and NE states along with CA, OR, and WA, South Carolina is an excellent option. I know Florida gets all the headlines, but people should really consider the great state of South Carolina.
