Elsa
We are a mixed race couple with two young children looking for a new place to raise them. Looking for great schools, low housing cost, and lots of trees/nature. Activities for kids, and friendly people.
Answer
Hi Elsa, I'm a bit biased since I'm from near Greenville. Greenville is a really great place to live. It's somewhat larger than Grapevine and is kind of a stand-alone city. Greenville along with Spartanburg make up the metropolitan area whereas Grapevine is really a suburb of Dallas. Greenville has a great downtown with lots of shopping, restaurants and nightlife. There is minor league baseball with a downtown stadium and hockey at the downtown Bi-Lo Center. Great stuff to take kids to. Furman University is nearby. The Reedy River park runs through downtown with it's picturesque falls. I think you would really like it. Housing prices in both are probably comparable, at least much cheaper than LA. Greenville is a half hour drive from the Blue Ridge Escarpment, AKA The Blue Wall, where the mountains rise abruptly. There are many state parks along the escarpment with camping, swimming, hiking and stuff to do with kids on weekends like Table Rock, Devil's Fork, Jones Gap, Keowee-Toxaway and more. There is so much to do outdoors in the Greenville area. Yeah, there's lots of trees and nature. Keep in mind that most winter days reach 55 degrees to the low 60s. So that's great for hiking with the kids, tennis and golf. So there's lots to do year round. The place is friendly. I'm an ex-yankee from Washington DC and on a whole I don't see the negative attitudes against other races and outsiders that was prevalent in years gone by. I really don't think you will find that to be a problem.
