2011 Southernside Neighborhood Vision Plan

Area Plan

The 2011 Southernside Neighborhood Plan focuses on revitalizing Greenville’s Southernside neighborhood through housing improvements, enhanced connectivity, and infrastructure development. Key findings highlight a high vacancy rate (19%), with over 70% of homes renter-occupied and 38% rated in poor or fair condition. The plan emphasizes infill development and the preservation of community character, promoting homeownership to stabilize the area. Streetscape upgrades aim to create green, pedestrian-friendly corridors with improved multi-modal access. Strategies include increasing access to commercial centers, employment, and recreational spaces while enhancing neighborhood identity through branding and public spaces. Collaboration between the City of Greenville and Clemson University shaped the plan’s vision of a vibrant, sustainable, and connected community.
