I will be moving from NJ to Upstate SC in June or July 2017. I am looking somewhere between Greenville and Spartanburg. My husband will be working as a truck driver and me as a cashier to start and than I will be looking for a job in an office as an admin assistant. We have two kids 7 & 13. My son is a skater so I want to be somewhat close the the skatepark in Spartanburg. We want to rent a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house for a year before we buy a house. I want to say in the same town for renting and buying as I don't want to move the kids around again. My son also is into Boy Scouts and I want a good troop for him, close to where we will be living. So here are my questions:
Best family friendly town to rent and than buy
Safe neighborhood
Rent between $800-$1000
To buy a house $140,000 - $175,000
Good schools
Boy Scouts
Close to Skatepark
Close to Walmart
How is district 6 school?
Best school district in Spartanburg
Is there a skatepark anywhere else
I was wondering about Boiling Springs, Duncan, Lyman, Greer, Taylor's, Roebuck, Moore or any others close by. I really like what I see in Greenville but don't want to be so far from the skatepark as my kids is there all the time. Don't want to drive more than 15 minutes if possible.
Being from NJ and the hustle and bustle and I am definitely looking to get away from that yet don't want to be to far out in the country as I want the kids to still be close to everything and have friends. A place with parks, that is safe where kids ride their bikes and play outside. Thanks for all your help.
I cannot say which school district in Spartanburg County is the best. The best school district should be the one where your children can excel and be active.
Spartanburg County school districts 2, 5, 6, and 7 are the largest in the number of students.

I would lean towards Boiling Springs or Inman. Landrum is a nice area and good schools. Roebuck is not a great place. Moore is not bad. Greer.......NO.
have you looked at East Spartanburg/Converse Heights/Hillcrest?
Thank you. Carolina Knight i will check into those schools. Tiger 1995, I have seen on these pages people say good things about east Spartanburg. How is the crime in that area? I will be coming down in April to check out the area but want to have it borrowed down.
I do not hear much about crime on the east side of Spartanburg. Low crime and/or less violent and serious crimes should be good news.
