What makes Greenville cost less
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Upstate housing is largely suburban with driveways and garages, quick to work, though downtown Greenville's newer apartment towers require reserved elevators and restricted move-in windows.
Net of all that, Greenville prices 7% below the national average. The same 2-bedroom local move that typically costs $1,075 nationally runs $1,000 in Greenville, a difference of $75 less.
