New Community for Seniors Helps Meet Growing Demand for Affordable Housing in SC

Greenville is a rapidly growing city that sits at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western South Carolina. This vibrant community features an award-winning downtown, numerous historic sites, scenic outdoor recreation areas, and year-round events, making it an ideal place for seniors to settle down. The Greenville area has consistently experienced population growth, with the senior renter demographic increasing at the most rapid pace. The growing population, along with the 99% combined occupancy of all nearby affordable properties, has led to heightened demand for affordable housing options targeted to seniors.

Pleasantburg Senior Apartments is a newly constructed Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community consisting of 38-units for individuals age 55 and over that earn up to 50% and 60% of the Area Median Income. The property includes one- and two-bedroom options that all come equipped with standard amenities such as kitchen appliances, ceiling fans, and central air conditioning. Residents also have access to a community room, craft area, computer center, and laundry facilities within the property's clubhouse. Additionally, the property was awarded a Rex Williams Wellness Grant through CAHEC, which funded the installation of new exercise equipment in the property's fitness center.
