The homes in Glendale
Glendale is one of central Mauldin's original neighborhoods, laid out in the mid 1960s and early 1970s on streets like Fargo Street, Drury Lane, and Hickory Lane near the East Butler Road corridor. The typical house is a single story brick ranch on a generous lot, the kind of home built when Mauldin was a small town rather than a suburb of Greenville, with hardwood floors under the carpet and a carport or single garage.
The neighborhood is at the age where two things are happening at once: original homes are being renovated, and a few are being replaced with new infill construction on the larger lots. That mix is why prices vary so much from one house to the next. Glendale is not tracked as a single subdivision name in the MLS, so this page shows the wider Mauldin market; tell us you want Glendale specifically and we will hand pick the matches.
Daily life in Glendale
There is no homeowners association and no shared amenities; the trade is larger lots, no dues, and a location a few minutes from everything in Mauldin. The Butler Road corridor's grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants are close, Mauldin's Cultural Center and City Park are a short drive, and BridgeWay Station's restaurants and events are minutes down Butler Road.
The Mauldin City Trail and its pedestrian bridge over I-385 connect the area into the Swamp Rabbit Trail network.
Getting around from Glendale
East Butler Road reaches I-385 in a couple of minutes, which puts downtown Greenville at about fifteen minutes and the Woodruff Road corridor at about ten. Laurens Road and Verdae are close to the north, and Simpsonville is a short drive south on Main Street.
School assignments are set by address, and we confirm zoning on any specific home. Because homes here are individual rather than one builder's plan, ask us for comparable sales on the specific street before relying on any figure.
What to check in a 1960s home in Glendale
Houses of this age reward a careful inspection. The items we look at first are the electrical panel and wiring, the age of the plumbing supply and drain lines, the condition of the crawl space and its moisture control, whether the windows are original, and how old the roof and HVAC are. None of those is a reason to walk away; they are what the price should reflect. A renovated Glendale ranch with those items done and an original one that needs them can look identical from the street and be far apart in what they should cost.
