At some point most everyone in this county has been or will be without power & this shouldn't have any bearing on location you choose. Personally I wouldn't buy a house in any of the subdivisions you mentioned as they have probably accrued as much equity as they are going to unless of course this doesn't matter to you. If your price range max is $320K, I suggest you look at some of the newer neighborhoods. One may think they aren't well established but some of them look much better than property that is overgrown with outdated landscaping. Also think about "outdated codes" in some older homes. Kilgore Farms is a very nice, newer subdivision & a good price range. There are several great subdivisions towards the East direction on Woodruff Road. Also look at Tanner Road, [Tanner Mills ?] I hope you don't decide on Dove Tree [extremely difficult to exit the development not] or Devenger.[the builder of most of the houses was not a quality builder] Of all the "older, established" subdivisions I prefer Tera Pines off Hudson Road. It has been very well kept & resale is fantastic & the homeowners seem to take pride in their homes. Actually I know of someone in there planning to sell their house. They have 3 acres & a one level all brick that is immaculate inside & out. They've done so much updating one could call it a new house. [probably $325K range] Unless you have to live in Greenville, look at Boiling Springs, north of Spartanburg with easy access to I-85. It is growing rapidly & has much to offer. We recently retired & plan to sell our home but it's in the 380K- 390K range. Good luck to you.
