Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all five sampled points, a sandy loam over clay, rated somewhat limited by NRCS for slow water movement, with slope noted at one point. Slopes range from 4 to 12 percent. Elevation is about 1,007 feet, with about 120 feet of relief within a mile, the upper edge of gently rolling. Wards Creek is 0.3 mile out. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
Greer had 14,942 housing units at the 2020 Census. In the 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home was built about 2003 and only about 26 percent predate 1980. About 73 percent are owner-occupied and about 3 percent are mobile homes. Mostly newer homes mean systems that have had fewer years in the ground, but pumping and a periodic inspection still apply.
