A short drive from downtown Spartanburg

It may be no surprise that a centerpiece of Cleveland Park is the green space that shares its name. The park has existed along Asheville Highway since the '20s and has seen many iterations. Though it no longer has a zoo or a bandstand for concerts, plenty of pups play in the dog area, and people still dance at father-and-daughter Valentine's Day events. Residents can walk to the park from home to enjoy its lakeside trail and pause on the swinging benches to feed frozen peas to bobbing ducks. Billowy trees fill the sky along Cleveland Park's suburban streets, creating ample shade on hot days while sometimes engulfing the tiniest bungalows. Though locals can find most of what they need here — from community anchors, to essential goods — downtown Spartanburg is just over a mile away when they want more.

Moderately prices bungalows and ranch-styles

Cleveland Park's sidewalks and driveways chipping back to grass and occasional iron fence tangled in weeds give it a weathered feeling. A three-bedroom bungalow requiring top-to-bottom renovation might sell for around $100,000 in this area; a two-bedroom ranch-style with opportunities for updates for around $175,000; and a new home mimicking classic bungalows and minimal traditionals climb to the $200,000s. According to Realtor Michelle Manion, Spartanburg doesn't get much extreme weather. "Insurance rates are lower here because we don't have a lot of issues. Although we get a lot of hailstorms." Manion is an expert in the Spartanburg area and works for Keller Williams Realty. "There are places in flood zones... but I don't recall that being an ongoing issue." Though the Cap Index score for Cleveland Park is 7 out of 10, the Spartanburg Police Department is counteracting crime with robust crime prevention programs, including neighborhood watch initiatives.

Taking Interstate 56 downtown

Several community churches steps from front porches offer a sanctuary for those who wouldn't be anywhere else on a Sunday morning. Faith Tabernacle Church of Spartanburg livestream's their worship services, which always showcase local talent in their boisterous choir, for anyone who can't make it. Asheville Highway runs north to south along the area's eastern boundary, making for quick car trips, including to Downtown Spartanburg in just over a mile. Interstate 85 caps the neighborhood's northern edge, and locals can take that route west to Greenville-Spartanburg International in 19 miles. Car-less public transport options aren't robust here but the Spartanburg Station, for taking the Amtrak, is just over a mile north.

Starting out at The Cleveland Academy of Leadership

Students are served by the Spartanburg School District Seven. They may begin at Cleveland Academy, which transitioned to a leadership academy in 2011. Within the last year, the school opened a laundry room to meet the needs of its families, called 'Loads of Love.' It's free for them to use during school hours, with a washer, dryer and detergent. Students later filter into McCracken or Carver Middle Schools and Spartanburg High School. The high school has an A- rating from Niche and a recently renovated 200-acre campus, including a Fine Arts Center.

Grabbing essentials at the Pinewood Shopping Center

The Spartanburg County Detention Center is just north of the densest residential area, where it becomes semi-industrial with a smattering of familiar chains, like Arby's and Bojangles. Overall, Cleveland Park isn't known for its shopping options: "You wouldn't go seeking it out to go shopping for anything," Manion says. Still, essentials are nearby at Pinewood Shopping Center, just over a mile away on North Pine Street, which has a Big Lots for household essentials, a hair and nail salon, and the family-owned local favorite, Wade's Restaurant, which sells comfort food like biscuits, sweet tea and hamburger steaks.

Cleveland Park ... it's a great adventure

Cleveland Park's "A Great Adventure" playground is split into three sections for older and younger children. Locals aren't allowed to use the park's pond for fishing, but they could head to Duncan Park, Lake Cooley, Lake Bowen and Lake Blaylock for that. All of them are within a 20-mile radius – with Duncan Park being the closest, less than 4 miles away. Glen Park and Fairfield Park are also in the backyard of Cleveland Park's homes. The former is known for its small, peaceful waterfall and the latter is the site of the Piedmont Interstate Fair each Fall.

Glen Park is a wooded area with great shade and a couple of benches.
