Large lots of land, impressive schools and proximity to manufacturing hubs
Named Powdersville because of the area’s prominent gunpowder trade throughout the 1800s, this Greenville suburb has evolved to be a spacious home for many commuting to nearby areas for work. Some of those commuters head to the manufacturing hubs around the Upstate. “Those manufacturing hubs have really given the entire area, not just the cities and towns they’re in, a boost,” says Jennifer Burton, Realtor and co-owner of Burton, Williams, and Co. The spaciousness offers prospective homebuyers the luxury of large lots without having to sacrifice proximity to modern amenities and employment. From the extracurricular activities at the highly regarded schools to the abundance of impressive parks, Powdersville gives residents a lot to write home about.

From ranches and bungalows to larger new traditional homes
In the more rural areas of Powdersville, ranch-style homes and bungalows are dominant with prices for these models ranging from $150,000 to $430,000, depending on factors like condition and size. New traditional homes with three or more bedrooms on larger lots of land are also popular in Powdersville and can sell for between $350,000 and $850,000, with some larger estates selling for north of $1 million. As residents drive along local roads, they’ll notice that most homes sit far enough away to allow for spacious front yards with small gardens or a large oak tree. Regardless of home style, screened-in front patios and porches are typical here, making it easy to form neighborly connections.

Clubs like Girls Who Code highlight Powdersville Middle School
“More people are moving to Powdersville not only for the convenience of surrounding areas or lower price points but more folks are buying in the area for the schools,” Burton says. Concrete Primary School serves kindergarten through second grade and earned an A-minus rating from Niche. Powdersville Elementary serves third through fifth grades and received an A grade from Niche. As students move on to Powdersville Middle and High Schools, a notable change includes more extracurricular opportunities. Powdersville Middle, which earned an A grade from Niche, has a robust list of clubs – including Girls Who Code and a service group known as Early Act First Knight. Powdersville High, which also earned an A grade, is known for its marching band which has gained notoriety for winning multiple state championships.
Powdersville Middle School is the highly rated third stop in education in Powdersville.

There's rarely ever earthquakes and when we have one you barely feel it. Severe snow storms happen about once every two years. Being near the mountains you can have some landslides from the rocks. During summers there usually is a drought but it doesn't effect how much water you use daily. During the spring time there are tornado watches which mean that there is only a possibility and when one does touch down it usually doesn't do much damage.

It has warm climate, friendly people, plenty of activities for all ages, and is constantly changing and upgrading. I believe that the scenery and people make this location better than others and I see us continuing to flourish in years to come as a community.
