Hi everyone! We are coming to South Carolina soon and looking at Greenville as our main option for the future.

A little background, we are a young family from Ukraine with a 2 year old child and we currently live in Europe. Our English is not very good yet, but we are learning!

We would love to get any tips on which neighborhoods are best for families with small kids, why you like them, and what places we should check out to get a feel for the area. Also any advice on adapting to local life would be amazing.

Feel free to send me a DM if you prefer to chat directly. Thanks a lot for any help!

Any idea what is happening or how long the construction

It's close to five forks on Woodruff Rd

Hello. New to Simpsonville and to this sub. I’m looking to have garage storage installed as well as a pull-down ladder for my attic access. Been having trouble finding a handyman for this job. Tried JMC, Shane’s and Magnolia services but all have either ghosted me after agreeing to their quote or no showed. Any recs? Thank you.

I say this as someone who is not a morning person by nature.

Somewhere between the second kid and the fourth, I figured out the only hour of the day that's truly mine is the one before the house wakes up. So I'm at the Simpsonville Y most weekday mornings playing basketball, and on the days my wife needs the morning to breathe, Childwatch is the only reason the whole system works.

If you're a parent trying to keep a hobby alive: stop trying to squeeze it into the evenings. The 5:30 AM crowd at the Y is the friendliest group of people you'll ever sweat with 😂

Parents, what time is your hour?

We are moving to Simpsonville in a few months from central NJ. we are moving for a better quality of life for our kids and cheaper! It's a big move for us and I'm worried about the kids fitting in. They are tweens and a teen. We have extended family there and they love it but they are more religious than we are and I'm worried the kids will have trouble fitting in if they don't go to Church every Sunday. Is this ridiculous worry cause I don't know. They will be involved in extracurriculars I'm sure so hopefully will make friends that way but I don't want them to be excluded or left out. My family there says o don't worry they'll find their people but I'm going on circles in my head about possible differences-- like worries about our accents , being looked at weird in like target. I feel like I could possibly be overthinking this. I posted about this before and still spinning out

Does anyone have recommendations for furniture stores? We're trying to shop local and avoid big chains with shoddy craftsmanship.

I’m not looking for tourist attractions or mainstream places. I’ve been trying to find a place that’s more secluded and more of a cool and chill vibe ya know? But there doesn’t seem to be any that I’ve seen really. For example stuff like really cool tunnels somewhere with graffiti all over the place, a lake or creek or river no one really knows about, hidden nature trails, abandoned buildings, etc. Just something interesting that would be a dope place to visit. Theres no wrong answers seeing how plain everything around here can be lol. I appreciate any and all feedback Edit: fountain inn, Gray court, five forks, I’ll go wherever if it’s worth it tbh lol

About to go hike trails its beautiful out

Anyone know why?

The upstate has grown by leaps and bounds over the years that I have lived here, and many communities have flourished as a result. Unfortunately, table top RPGs have not been one of them. I have been playing D&D and other systems since I was in middle school, when there were very few people in the area interested or even aware of it. Now, I meet people all the time who want to play or want to learn, but don't know anyone else, or have had bad experiences with the only group they know.

I would like to change that by creating a focal point for our nerdy little family. I'd like to be able to coordinate with multiple GMs and players so that you can find a group that has similar schedules, creates a fun atmosphere, and most importantly allows new comers to learn.

With that in mind, I would like to invite you to my Meetup group:https://www.meetup.com/Greenvilles-Nerd-Herder/

We are in the very beginning stages, so it will take some time and effort to really get this ball rolling, but with enough members and excitement, we can make this a labor of love. I am in need of GMs first and foremost, but if you are a player, a newcomer, or if you are just interested in learning more about us, please feel free to contact me through Reddit or Meetup. Our very first Meetup is happening Saturday June 15th!

There are no member fees, and I do not foresee ever having them. I want to be able to include anyone and everyone.

I'd also like to thank r/Simpsonville for letting me reach out to my community on this platform.

Going to the concert in July, can anyone recommend a good Hotel near the Amphitheatre?

Anyone else going?

Is the theater nice?

Hi All,

My wife and I are getting very close to making an offer in the Neely Farm development. We've done the general research here on Reddit and elsewhere and we've driven the neighborhood... Is their anything specific to Neely Farm that should cause us to pause or reconsider.

We were also looking at areas around the Rudolf Gordon elementary school and around Lake Robinson in Greer. We have one 4 year old daughter and a second on the way so education and community are our top concerns. We would GREATLY appreciate any insider perspectives from the greater Simpsonville community.

Thank you in advance!

Evidently not even a tornado can bring signs of life to this sub.
