My husband job may be bringing him to Greenwood. We have 4 children elementary school and below. What are the schools like? Are there sports facilities for children? Are there good childcare facilities? I am a teacher, how hard is it to get a teaching job? Is there a part of Greenwood that is better for raising children? We would be coming from Atl. and are looking for a place that doesn't take my husband 1.5 hours to get home, just so we can live in a place that is child friendly(good schools, parks, etc.)
My daughter is a teacher here in Greenwood and I think they always need teachers. There are many many day cares here. I think North or West Greenwood would be the best places to live. I wouldn't want to live in South Greenwood. Lake Greenwood is a good place to live also, but you might want to be closer in town since you have children and they may be into sports. I think you will like it here. My daughter has a very nice house with a pool for sale. It has 5 acres with it. Its in the neighborhood of $260,000.

Reason: add info
i used to live in abbeville about 15 miles from greenwood it was the town we had to go to get things has a big walmart pretty much everything you need, my mother was a teacher in calhoun falls around 25 miles from greenwood, i know greenwood does have some parks dont know how many though..its a nice town it seemed to me...
I live and work in Abbeville as a radio broadcaster at one of the two stations in town....
If you can, I'd look for a place in Abbeville... it'll be a bit cheaper, it's a quieter, laid back town where most people are pretty friendly. .. that and it's barely a 20 Minute drive down Highway 72 to Greenwood!
Abbeville is full of white supremacists and idiots trying to have the city annexed from the USA. Don't listen to the post above mine. Greenwood is statistically higher on the crime rate as well

Wow, that is news to me.. never heard anything like it when I lived in Abbeville.

Search the history of Abbeville. You've never noticed the giant sign coming down the hwy stating let's make a stand! ,giant rebel flag with annex abbeville in smaller lettering. They did a piece on a&e about it a few yrs back. It does appear to be a small quiet town but I've met a few of these wierdos, and I wouldn't make it up. Now I'm not sure if this is still in process, but abbeville doesn't have anything to offer anyway besides a huddle house and trees

Maybe a huddle house and trees or whatever is all some of us want. I liked Abbeville,it had everything I needed.. didnt hardly ever go to Greenwood for anything and in my 18 months in town, didn't visit Greeneville once.
Id move back to Abbeville sometime again in the future.
