Our Take
Greenville offers low‑cost housing and a decent mix of schools, but it suffers from very low walkability, poor transit options, and a high flood risk. The local economy is modest, with median income close to the cost of living, so jobs are limited and many residents rent. If you can manage a car and the flood risk, it may work for a low‑budget family, but otherwise it’s a stretch.
