“Officials work to maintain quality of life in the Upstate as census reveals population surge”
“Easley is a popular new place to live, and the town is growing rapidly. As a result, the demand for housing is high. The town is working to address this issue by developing new housing options, including affordable housing options for middle-/working- class workers people and their families.”

Working to meet the challenge of success
Easley officials are creating new residential options — with an emphasis on affordability and accessibility — to accommodate middle-class families and workers who are drawn to the town’s welcoming atmosphere and safe neighborhoods. The city is actively responding to the influx of newcomers by developing fresh housing solutions for families that want to move here and help strengthen our community but are currently priced out of the market.
We need to ensure that increasing housing options remains a priority in Easley for the people who want to help strengthen our community by living here, working here, and raising their family here.
Gaining Momentum: Easley Harmonizes Economic Expansion with Community Well-Being
Gross retail sales have increased from $950.5 million to $1.1 billion — a $150 million increase in five years
Easley’s leaders are working to foster development while preserving the town’s quality of life. Officials are developing new living options, with a focus on affordable housing solutions for everyone. This path is key to continuing Easley’s economic success. Without housing options to meet the needs of the community, our workers will have to live elsewhere. Our leaders understand this and are working to address the housing shortage issues.
