About Abbeville

Settled by French immigrants, Abbeville is situated 57 miles due south of Greenville, South Carolina, and encompasses the historical distinction of being both the birthplace and the deathbed of the Confederacy. Because of the town’s limited size, most residents of an Abbeville house or apartment for rent commute into Greenville for work, either by driving an hour and 20 minutes or by taking the regional train that serves both Greenville and Charleston from town. Greenwood, 15 minutes east of Abbeville, is the nearest sizeable community and provides essential resources, such as shopping and banking, as well as a number of jobs for those who dislike the commute to Greenville.

The Richard B. Russell Lake is just a few miles west of Abbeville and offers serene waters, perfect for boating and swimming during the summer. Part of the Savannah River system, the area also offers excellent shoreline trails and bike trails. Additional recreational facilities are available to residents of an apartment or home rental in Abbeville, including Calhoun Falls State Park and Marina and Sumter National Forest. With a population approaching 6,000 residents, Abbeville doesn’t have an athletics or sports league, although residents are welcomed at nearby Greenwood. However, a few parks and playgrounds are scattered throughout the neighborhoods for additional fitness and recreation.
