Regency Park Greenwood

1) Greenwood, SC is Growing

Known as the Emerald City, Greenwood is truly the municipal gemstone of western South Carolina. From its founding, Greenwood has been consistently growing in both industry and population. Since the 1990s, Greenwood’s population has grown by about ten percent. In addition to thousands of new residents, our town has welcomed several new companies, providing jobs and economic growth, including:

• Pepsi Bottling Company: 1004 Florida Ave, Greenwood, SC

2) Greenwood, SC is Conveniently Located

We love the neighborly feel of our small town; however, when residents are required to conduct business in one of the larger area cities, they find Greenwood is conveniently, centrally located between several major municipalities. Greenville, Augusta, Charlotte, and Columbia are all within an hour and a half from uptown Greenwood. Asheville, Charleston, and Atlanta are all two to three hours away.

3) Greenwood’s Parks and Arts

Greenwood’s burgeoning arts-scene centers around the area of town known as the Emerald Triangle. In the heart of downtown Greenwood’s business district, the Emerald Triangle is bordered by the renovated Federal Building, the Greenwood Community Theater, and the Greenwood Museum. Per Greenwood’s website:

“As a part of the master planning process, community leaders sought a way to develop a cultural district in the downtown that would serve as a catalyst to fuel new economic development and investment. The plan was built on the revitalization of three key cultural facilities – the Greenwood Federal Building, the Greenwood Community Theatre, and the Greenwood Museum.”

As Greenwood grows, so does its arts and parks. Town parks include:

• Greenwood City Garden
• Grace Street Dog Park
• Magnolia Park
• West Cambridge Park
• The Heritage Train: an ever-growing greenway through the heart of town.

4) Greenwood’s Geographical Features

In addition to growing population and industry, culture, arts, and parks, Greenwood is near many of the South’s geographical treasures. Natural features in and around Greenwood include:

• Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell: We are less than an hour and a half from two famous South Carolina lakes, Keowee and Hartwell.
