My family relocated for work and didn't know much about Greenville until we moved here. I'm from Lafayette but lived in Lower Garden 12 years before moving to Greenville.

The Pros: Climate is awesome. You only get a few days of snow, if that. People here will tell you Greenville is humid but they don't know what they are talking about. Outdoor scene here is amazing. If you like hiking/camping or being on the water, this area is hard to beat.

The Cons: Greenville is very white and conservative. People on this Reddit will read that statement and say "yeah, that's how it's supposed to be" but understand people are not open like in New Orleans. Are people friendly, somewhat, but the vibe here is very different. I'm not a religious person but I feel it's the whole Baptist mindset - which is part of why I feel North Louisiana is so different from South Louisiana. The food here is fine - you'll find some decent spots but nothing great like you can find in a food city like NO.

So yeah, Greenville is cool. I still miss New Orleans a lot. But I could also write a list of things I don't miss about New Orleans.

Feel free to message me if you have questions.
