About Seneca

A city in Oconee County and home to 8,000 residents, Seneca was named for a nearby Native American village as well as the Seneca River. Thirty-seven miles outside of Greenville, South Carolina, Seneca is a simple 55-minute drive from the metropolitan area where most residents of a Seneca house or apartment for rent work during the day. Because of Seneca’s location on wetlands of sorts, many residents find the views of Lake Keowee to be spectacular throughout the year. The Duke Power Company harvests hydroelectric power from the lake to power nearby energy stations. The lake is a popular place for boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, camping and picnicking in addition to jogging, biking, and hiking along its shores. Cross Creek Plantation and Oconee Country Club provide equally fun recreational opportunities. Clemson University is only a few miles east of Seneca and thus has created a large fan base in Seneca. On football game weekends, it is not uncommon for the town center of Seneca to be void of any sign of human life and completely deserted. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Seneca are served by 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools that are located within Seneca. Besides Clemson University, Southern Wesleyan University can also be found nearby.
