Greenville, South Carolina
If you are currently residing in a part of the country that is more expensive, then Greenville will seem like an oasis when it comes to the financial side of things, alongside the other types of oasis of green and nature it can offer. Being found halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte, Greenville is perfect for those who want to live in a city that is not full of hustle and bustle, yet still close to major cities, and that is also going to offer a lower-cost alternative when it comes to renting.
Here, it will only cost you on average around $855 to rent an apartment, which is a great price given what the city offers. Those who live in Greenville are close to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and due to rules here in South Carolina, residents of the state that are 65 or older get discounts when visiting Paris Mountain State Park. It is the best choice of hiking trails, not to mention the biking ones, and you can also get into fishing as the park also has an 8-acre lake!
There’s a ton of things to do here, and if you ever get bored, you can get in the car and visit one of the two major cities close by! The best of both worlds, if you ask us!
