Not Simpsonville, but not far...
IvyBrooke Townhomes is off Garlington between Pelham and Roper Mountain Roads. A lot of retirees and a scattering of young professionals. Most of the children are grandkids just visiting. There is a small pool, but that's the only community amenity. For a large townhome community (168 homes), it's quite spacious and not closed-in feeling. There is a lot of green and open space between buildings. It's a gated community, so traffic is sparce. Several are currently for sale, a variety of floorplans, all with a first floor master. Most of the homes are 3 BR 2 1/2 BA, bonus room and 2 car garage. Most are 1,880 - 2,000 sq. ft.
The HOA is well managed, has its rules, but most are quite reasonable. We've lived here since Feb and feel like we made a very good choice.
Oh, and there are two retirement communities (one is assisted living only) next door.
