So, you’re on the job market (or considering throwing your hat into the ring), and are considering that you might need to move to make your next dream career jump a reality. But, where do you move to? We have seen the mass exodus of technical professionals leaving states like California and New York for places with lower cost of living, better climates, or a change of culture.
We might be a little bit biased, but we love Greenville, and we love when other people come and enjoy Greenville. With everything this growing southern city has to offer, its hard to not find something for everyone. There are plenty of trendy restaurants, outdoor activity spots, and seasonal events to try out. There are over 400 acres of parks inside Greenville, with many more in the suburban towns surrounding the city. There are also several indoor recreational facilities for the colder months or those who would rather swim, ice skate, or play sports indoors.
Want to Wind Down From Work or Get Out with The Family?
There are dozens of trail choices for all hiking skill levels. Most residents have under a four hour drive to the nearest ocean beach, including popular vacation spot Myrtle Beach. If you are willing to go a little further, Charleston, Hilton Head and Savannah, Georgia are all also easily in driving distance for a quick weekend getaway. Greenville is home to many camping locations and several lakes for boating and fishing getaways.
The Greenville culture is unique and full of life. Are you a sports fan but haven’t gotten the chance to catch a pro game? The Greenville Drive Minor League Baseball team and Greenville Swamp Rabbits ECHL Hockey Team both routinely play games in downtown. Clemson University and Furman University also house multiple men’s and women’s national ranked collegiate teams. Are you a fan of local art and performances? The Upstate is full of museums, galleries, and performance centers for theater, music, and dance. Want to shop until you drop? Downtown Greenville is packed with small businesses and shops providing a variety of goods and keepsakes, as well as plenty of restaurants to suit any taste so you can refuel during your day.
Focusing On Business?
These leisure options are not the only reason to relocate to Greenville. Great work opportunities at enterprise level corporations that house their headquarters in the area, good schools (both public and private, including 7 charter schools) for those raising families, plus a variety of colleges and universities to choose from for furthering your education give residents the chance to build a lasting life here. Greenville is centrally located to Atlanta and Charlotte and houses the headquarters for more than 20 major corporations like Michelin, BMW, and Milliken. IT Services and Engineering are two of the top four industry targets for the Upstate!
Many of these corporate locations have seen renovations in the past few years, offering increased benefits to employees who commute in to the office and work on-site. We have seen offices that have large varieties of on-site food options, free parking, and teams that routinely schedule employee outings to help rebuild strong, attractive company cultures for their staff.
The Best of Both Worlds
Looking for a mix of fun and business? Don’t miss out on the wide variety of networking opportunities organized by locals. From industry specific options like Tech After 5 to minority focused gatherings like Cake and Whiskey, a women’s only networking event, there is a niche for all professionals looking to broaden their network.
Along with the fast-paced professional growth of the Upstate, there are growing housing options for everyone. You can have your pick between apartments and townhomes in the heart of the city or historic homes and suburban neighborhoods on quiet streets. Greenville also offers an overall low cost of living over other, similarly sized cities.
Greenville is truly the best of all worlds combined in to one growing city. Consistently rated one of the best places to live and work, relocating to Greenville could be the ideal choice for many young professionals moving forward.
