Startex blends textile-mill heritage with easy, day-to-day livability along the Middle Tyger River. Minutes from Greer, Lyman, and Spartanburg, and set within Spartanburg County, the community offers quick access to I-85 and SC-290 while keeping a relaxed, small-town rhythm. Residents enjoy ballgames and playgrounds at Tyger River Park, weekend paddles on Lake Cooley, and sunset strolls by the water. You’ll find tidy mill cottages beside new builds, with porches made for neighborly conversations and yards sized for gardens, swings, and weekend projects.
Families are drawn to Spartanburg County School District Five, known for strong academics, career pathways, and competitive athletics at James F. Byrnes High School. The Middle Tyger Library anchors community life with storytimes, study spaces, and tech resources. Outdoor time is easy to come by, from fishing and kayaking on the Middle Tyger to programs at Spartanburg Water’s Lake Cooley Outdoor Education Center. Commuters appreciate proximity to major employers, including BMW Manufacturing and the GSP Airport corridor, while local dining and services in nearby towns keep errands simple.
Whether you’re eyeing a renovated mill home, a starter in a quiet subdivision, or something with room to grow, Startex offers practical value without losing its sense of place. If you’re considering a move, or ready to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional who knows Startex inside and out.
