Planning
How to test a move to Greenville before committing
Scouting, temporary housing and a first-90-day budget can expose problems that a city-level comparison cannot.
Before paying a deposit
Use one realistic address to price housing, deposits, utilities and the first 90 days, then test the commute from that same address.
Before the move date
Confirm paperwork, healthcare or insurance, temporary accommodation and a fallback plan if the permanent housing or job start changes.
