Why Spartanburg

Why people are choosing Spartanburg.

Spartanburg is the Upstate's second city and its fastest-rising one. Thirty minutes east of Greenville on I-85, it sits at the I-85/I-26 junction with BMW's largest plant in the world down the road, seven colleges in town, and a downtown that has added hotels, a minor-league ballpark and a restaurant scene in the last five years. Historic neighborhoods still trade well under Greenville prices, and the north side is building as fast as permits allow.

Downtown & Morgan SquareFr8yard, the Chapman Cultural Center, Fifth Third Park and a walkable Main Street.
BMW & the I-85 corridorBMW Plant Spartanburg plus Michelin, Milliken and the Inland Port keep payrolls deep.
