I kind of get tired of people describing Simpsonville as having a bunch of cookie cutter homes and not much else to offer.
I love it here. You're still close enough to Greenville downtown if you want to go yet you're more in the country with the rolling hills, beautiful homes, horses, cows, winding roads, etc.
I used to work at a high stress job off of Woodruff Rd. and Butler. I would take the country Rds home and it just relaxed me from a day of stress. I enjoy living more in the country.
Sure we have cookie cutter homes, but so do most towns. Evidently people don't mind them because they sure are being lived in.
I don't think Simpsonville has more cookie cutter homes than anywhere else does.
We have more beautiful huge homes all over. I've never seen so many gorgeous homes. I think those that describe Simpsonville as cookie cutter haven't really taken the time to really drive around. There is more to Simpsonville than what's on Fairview and around Five Forks. It's really a nice area. We have all the amenities close by without having to drive to Greenville yet Greenville is just a hop skip and jump away.
One day I went a different way driving around Simpsonville and just kind of got lost but I discovered beautiful roads I never knew existed. I was in awe. Before you put down Simpsonville, spend some time there and drive around on some of the back roads. I've been living here 7 years and still discovering little gems off the beaten path.
I don't have any issue with the traffic either. It's just normal. Traffic on Woodruff Rd. doesn't really get bad until you hit Feaster Rd. where the BI-LO is. Sure there is traffic on Fairview but what town doesn't have traffic in the main area? Even with the heavier traffic, it really isn't an issue or that much a bother.
There's more to the upstate than just Downtown Greenville.
You're right OP. Simpsonville isn't just cookie cutter homes. It also has Walmart. The cows, horses, and rolling hills you currently enjoy will all be gone by 2020 to make way for even more sprawl and traffic sadly. This is already happening heavily on West Georgia Road and near Target. It will happen in other areas also like Sleasy, Poodersville, Geer, Moldin, Rested Traveler, etc. That's the way it goes in a growing/thriving area.
All I'm saying is that I like Simpsonville the way it is now. I'm pro Simpsonville. I enjoy living here. I just want to take up for Simpsonville when others say it's nothing but cookie cutter homes. It's a nice area to live.
That's all I was saying. I know plenty others that enjoy living here also. That's all. If it's not for everyone, then that's fine. I understand that some people will rather live where the city action is. Everyone has different likes, but I did want to say Simpsonville is more than the cookie cutter homes.
