What it’s like to live in Southern Side
Southern Side offers emerging opportunity with downtown accessibility where this evolving Greenville district provides more affordable options despite comparable proximity to Main Street attractions. Renters find diverse housing from traditional homes to emerging apartment communities at significantly lower rates than similar properties in established northside neighborhoods. Some blocks remain in various stages of revitalization with varied investment levels, but budget-conscious households appreciate both the housing value and walkable access to both Swamp Rabbit Trail recreation and developing commercial corridors despite the neighborhood's continued evolution beyond purely established districts requiring local knowledge for specific streets.

Artisan craftsmanship thrives at the 1926 West End Market's 50+ local vendors. Renters enjoy walkable bungalows but face sparse tree canopy (only 22% coverage) in this sun-baked grid. The Catchy Clutter vintage shop's rotating window displays draw Instagrammers nightly.
