what can you tell me about Seneca? (Greenville, Clemson: wages, housing)

[MikeP]

I found a nice house online, but I know nothing about Seneca. We are a couple in our mid thirties with 2 small children. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm...my step-grandmother lives there, along with my step uncle and aunt haha. I really don't know much about it though. It's a pretty small town and it's close to Clemson...others will chime in sometime!

Dear MikeP,

I lived in Seneca for several years. I moved to Chattanooga over a year ago but will be moving back to the Greenville area in January.

I greatly miss the Seneca/Oconee county area. Its beauty is unmatched in the Southeast. Lake Keowee and Jocasee are gorgeous. Additionally, there are the SC/NC mountains as a backdrop. Outdoor activities are abundant and shopping is surprisingly good for the area. I do hear that Clemson (short drive from Seneca) will be getting a major shopping development (possibly with a PUBLIX!). I'm not sure of the housing market (in Seneca) now - others might know.

Please refer to my old post concerning the Seneca area: Seneca, SC & surrounding areas

If you need any further info, please post or PM.

Take care

MIKEP, i currently live in seneca. i love it...surrounded by 3 lakes, 20 minutes from the mountains, beautiful area....plenty to do and only 45 minutes from greenville, sc and a little over an hour from atlanta. the only negative thing i can say about the area is the schools are horrible....lowest s.a.t scores in the country which translates into substandard teachers and teacher wages.
