Amenity rich, HOA-run homes

Though bordering areas like Pumpkintown and Dacusville, Slater-Marietta offers a different approach to rural life with several homeowners associations scattered throughout its borders—a determining factor for homebuyers deciding which neighborhood in Greenville County is the best fit. “Most of the time, people choose to be in Dacusville because it’s not a community that has homeowners associations, unlike Slater-Marietta,” says Melissa Hall of Allen Tate, an agent who’s lived in Greenville County and has sold many homes there. On the other hand, many seek out Slater-Marietta for its amenity-rich subdivisions and conveniently located homes. While some homes sit on multi-acre lots with mountain views, others feature compact lots along connective sidewalks that lead to nearby shops and community hubs.

Subdivisions offering choice in lifestyle

The neighborhood comprises multiple subdivisions, allowing locals to decide between convenience and privacy. Residents looking for mountain views in their backyard and recently constructed Craftsman-style homes live in Pointe Summit, a gated subdivision, and those who prefer to live near hiking trails opt for Cliff Ridge Colony, closest to Caesar’s Head State Park. For larger lots and a more secluded feel, subdivisions like Riverstead offer densely wooded, multi-acre properties with access to amenities like a barn, pool and community farm, and the gated golf community called Golf Ridge Cottages provides a similar degree of seclusion with access to multiple golf courses and members-only recreational opportunities. While homes in the heart of Slater-Marietta start at around $220,000, homes in Cliff Ridge start closer to $320,000. Houses in the Pointe Summit boast a higher price point, beginning around $420,000 and extending beyond $1 million for homes with over 4,000 square feet. Because of the amenities and homeowners associations, Hall explains, “Slater-Marietta brings a little more price per square foot than Dacusville.”

Route 276 gives access to Greenville

Geer Highway, also known as Route 276, cuts through Salter-Marietta and directly connects to Travelers Rest in less than 10 miles and Greenville in less than 20 miles. If venturing outside South Carolina, the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is less than 30 miles southeast, reachable via Highway 290.

Grocery options off Geer

Most of the neighborhood’s shopping and dining options are concentrated along Geer Highway. For the basics, there are a handful of shops along the thoroughfare, including Family Dollar, Pat’s Grocery Store and More, Dollar General and Spinx. For locally grown, fresh produce, the curbside market at Beechwood Farms sells everything from tomatoes to sweet potatoes less than a mile from the Slater Hall Community Center. While dining options in the neighborhood are limited, Monte Alban Mexican Grill & Seafood and Stone House BBQ serve the area, both steps from Jimi Turner Park. For more shopping and dining options, Haywood Mall is less than 20 miles away, just off Interstate 385.

Get outside at Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area

Slater-Marietta includes a range of recreational opportunities, from all-day hikes in the mountains to quick trips to the playground. With the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area housed in the northernmost part of the neighborhood, residents can access multiple hiking trails, scenic waterfalls and two state parks, including Caesar’s Head. Because the wilderness area is over 10,000 acres, the natural views and wildlife can’t all be seen in a day, adding to Slater-Marietta’s appeal. For residents living closer to Tigerville, Pleasant Ridge County Park, located just off the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway, is another outdoor recreation hub nearby. Smaller-scale parks surround the elementary school at the heart of Slater-Marietta, including Jimi Turner Park and Slater-White Park.
