Greenville County’s planning commission this month approved roughly 460 new homes across six residential projects.
The half-dozen planned subdivisions are proposed for properties of varying size across the county and range from 20 new units to more than 100.
Here’s a look at the new neighborhoods the commission approved.
Rosemont Gardens
Situated in the southwest corner of the county, Rosemont Gardens, in terms of number of new lots, will be the largest of the six subdivisions the commission approved at its June 25 meeting.
Developer Bradley Smith plans to build 122 new homes on the 41-acre site on Bessie Road just north of Woodmont Middle School.
The project will sit on an unzoned property and connect to new ReWa sewer lines recently extended into the area. It will have two new access points.
The commission approved the subdivision unanimously.

St. Albans Grove
Despite several nearby residents expressing concern about its impact on traffic and community character, the commission approved the St. Albans Grove subdivision in a 6-3 vote.
The residential project will include 25 new lots on a roughly 20-acre tract west of Simpsonville city limits between Fork Shoals and Standing Springs roads.
Bradley Smith is also the developer for this subdivision and plans to service it with a septic system. It will have a single entry and exit point.
Harbor Chase
While Rosemont Gardens had the highest number of units among subdivisions approved last week, Harbor Chase at 112 acres was the largest geographically.
Trust Homes plans to build 85 units on the property in the southeast reaches of the county off State Highway 418.
The commission rejected two previous attempts by another developer to build on the sizable tract, and several residents who live nearby attended the June 25 meeting to, as in the St. Albans case, express concerns regarding how it would impact traffic and community character.
However, Paul Harrison of BlueWater Civil Design told the commission his firm and the developer had made a concerted effort to preserve greenspace and trees, and to deliver a low-density proposal.
The residential development will include a single access point and four new internal roads.
The commission approved the subdivision 8-1.
Reedy Grove
In the Piedmont area, not far from the future site of Rosemont Gardens, developer Stanley Martin Homes plans to build 95 new houses on a roughly 45-acre property off of Emily Lane.
The project will include a little more than 20 acres of open space and connect to public sewer lines.
It will include five new internal roads.
The commission approved it unanimously.
Acadia Phase 4
Also in the Piedmont area, Acadia Phase 4 will be a 64-home addition to an existing neighborhood.
The 27-acre property sits off Interstate 185 abutting the Anderson County line. The added units will have two entry and exit points, one through the existing Acadia neighborhood and another on Freeman Lake Road.
The Acadia neighborhood was approved as a planned development in 2005.
Developer Caleb Freeman, who lives in the subdivision, said not even half of the 650 homes initially approved for 300 acres in that planned development have been built yet.
Hartness Village Center
Similar to Acadia Phase 4, Hartness Village Center is an addition to an established neighborhood.
Joining the mixed-use Hartness development just west of Interstate 85 on Pelham Road near Topgolf, the new residential project would add 69 units on 7 acres.
It is by far the densest of the subdivisions approved June 25, and is also the only one that will include a commercial component. Situated just north of State Highway 14, it will include four new access points and more than 100 new parking spots.
The commission approved it 9-0.
