Piedmont, to my knowledge is a pretty rural area just southwest of the developed immediate Greenville area, in Anderson County (if memory serves). Many of the suburbs of Greenville as well as the town of Easley (in Pickens County) are close by. It's not much of a drive into Greenville proper either, for shopping, dining or business.

Let us know what kind of area & housing you're looking for, and in no time, many on this board will no doubt chime in with helpful info. Welcome, and good luck!

One word of advice: if you're inquiring about the Upstate, please use proper punctuation (and what's with all the capitalized A's) - your run-on sentence left me a little dizzy - now, back to regular programming

no offense taken and, no, not a requirement - it's just much easier to read if statements are delineated with periods/punctuation (this is a pet peeve of mine - I suppose this is pervasive in the "text messaging era" )
