Every day, new families are calling the Upstate home! Greenville is growing in popularity, and city developers, architects, and homebuilders are working hard to keep up with the demand.

In this updated post, Dan is sharing FIVE new communities with you (and not just new to you, but new to the Upstate!) that feature gorgeous homes AND amazing amenities packages.
