This South Carolina city ranks among the nation’s most beautiful and affordable

South Carolina is home to one of the nation’s most beautiful and affordable cities to call home, new rankings show.

Greenville earned a spot on a list of top 10 places that offer scenery at lower costs for residents, according to results published Monday, March 27.

“When considering where to live in the U.S., it’s more important than ever to assess both the affordability and beauty of a location, especially with housing and living costs steadily rising,” Travel + Leisure magazine wrote in its report.

Greenville received recognition after the magazine said it considered two U.S. News & World Report rankings: the nation’s best and “most affordable places to live.” For those rankings, analysts used data from the federal government and other resources to consider costs of living, quality of life, jobs, population trends and public opinion about cities across the country.

Greenville was the only place in South Carolina to land in the top 10 of the Travel + Leisure list. The Upstate city of about 72,000 people received a nod for having downtown amenities that have the potential to attract new residents.
