About Greer
Greer is a fast-growing city straddling Greenville and Spartanburg counties, northeast of Greenville along I-85. Once a railroad and textile town, it now sits at the center of the Upstate's automotive economy — BMW Manufacturing (the company's largest plant worldwide) is just outside town, and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport sits within the city. Historic Greer Station downtown has been revitalized with restaurants, shops, and events on Trade Street. Housing mixes historic neighborhoods near downtown with newer subdivisions and master-planned communities spreading toward Taylors and Duncan.
