Nostalgic convenience awaits in this Greenville community

The signs on one of Greenville’s busiest throughways may say Augusta Street, but locals have known the area by its original name, Augusta Road, for more than a century. No matter what suffix it goes by, the Augusta Street Area has been one of the most popular shopping and dining areas in the city since the 1850s, with a thriving home market nearby to match. “It’s one of the most popular areas in Greenville because of the accessibility it provides. People are willing to pay more for a smaller house or lot to live off Augusta Street,” says Maggie Toler, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. Toler has sold more than $172 million in upstate South Carolina real estate over the last decade. In addition to the vibrant businesses nearby, locals have access to the Greenville Country Club and the city’s acclaimed public school system.

Local shopping and dining in a classic SC setting

Augusta Street is home to one of the Greenville area’s oldest shopping districts. “It’s a unique part of Greenville because you can walk to Starbucks and other commercial developments from your house. You’ll see people walking and running along the sidewalks or in their golf carts as they drive from their neighborhoods to get dinner,” Toler says. Locals can find everyday goods at major retailers such as Harris Teeter, CVS and Walgreens. Specialty shops such as The Nested Fig Garden, Duncan’s Ace Hardware and Labels Designer Resale provide more particular offerings. Popular dining choices close by include Augusta Grill, a premium restaurant offering refined brunch and dinner dishes. The Bakery Off Augusta offers unique cake flavors by the slice and custom pastries for events. More familiar dining options round out the area’s selections, with choices such as Moe’s Southwest Grill, CAVA and McAlister’s Deli close at hand. Residents on the neighborhood’s west end can take care of grocery shopping at the Food Lion near Interstate 185.
