Where it is

The city does not draw neighborhood boundaries. On this page the Pelham area means the residential addresses inside Greer’s city limits south of I-85 between South Highway 14 and Brockman McClimon Road. The city’s address file has about 1,640 residential addresses there, all in Spartanburg County and almost all in ZIP code 29651.

Most are single-family homes on streets off SC 14 and Horton Grove Road, such as Sparrowridge Lane, Pelham Glen Way, Chandler Crest Court, Marcie Rush Lane, Jango Circle, Crossbuck Trail and Hillpark Lane, with some apartments and townhomes. A few dozen homes on Enoree River Place and Creekway Court sit beside SC 14 at the southwest corner.

The city’s comprehensive plan update says Greer bought the former Pelham-Batesville fire station on South Highway 14 in 2022 to improve response times. It also names the districts south of I-85 as the part of the city where homes and manufacturing are growing closest together.

Schools

We checked 16 residential addresses across the area in Greenville County Schools’ Find Your School tool on Oct. 16, 2026; the 15 the tool could place were all zoned for the same three schools. We also matched every residential address to Spartanburg District 5’s attendance lines map: about 80, roughly 5%, on Hickory Shad Court, Redcroft Drive, Combahee Court and nearby streets at the east edge, fall inside District 5. Ratings are the overall ratings on the 2025 state report cards (the 2024-25 school year), on a scale of Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average and Unsatisfactory.

Level Greenville County Schools (about 95%) 2025 rating District 5 (about 5%) 2025 rating
High Riverside High, 794 Hammett Bridge Road Excellent James F. Byrnes High, Duncan Good
Middle Riverside Middle, 615 Hammett Bridge Road Good Abner Creek Middle Good
Elementary Woodland Elementary, 1730 Gibbs Shoals Road Excellent Abner Creek Academy Average

Because the area sits on the edge of both districts, check the exact address in both tools before you sign. More in our schools guide.

How we drew this area

The Pelham name comes from OpenStreetMap’s place marker at the city line and from the city’s plan, which calls the SC 14 fire station Pelham-Batesville. The edges follow I-85, South Highway 14, Brockman McClimon Road and the city limits. School zones come from 16 addresses checked in Find Your School and from every residential address point matched to District 5’s map. Store locations are © OpenStreetMap contributors.
