Court St Condos in Downtown Greenville, SC

Court St Condos occupies a singular place in Greenville's downtown landscape as one of the city's first condominium conversions and its only National Register of Historic Places residential building. Originally constructed in 1858 as the Downtown Baptist Church, this architectural landmark was transformed into 37 residences in 1950, preserving 17-foot exposed brick walls, original heart pine floors, and decorative steel beams that define its loft-style character.

Community Highlights

"The only downtown Greenville condos with a National Register of Historic Places designation, offering unmatched architectural character in units ranging from 1,000 to 3,400 square feet."

Located at 100 W Court Street—one block from Main Street and directly across from Centre Stage theater—the building provides what listing agents consistently describe as "the quietest location for downtown living" on a tree-lined street, yet delivers walkable access to the Peace Center, Falls Park, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and over 100 restaurants. The covered breezeway from the adjacent Poinsett Garage to third-floor units allows residents to walk from car to home completely protected from weather, with some ground-floor units offering direct courtyard access.

Units span 1-3 bedrooms with soaring ceilings (9-17 feet), oversized windows, and open floor plans. Many feature loft bedrooms, custom kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances, and walk-in closets. Premium units include private balconies, terraces, or deeded courtyard patios—a rarity for downtown condos. Custom renovations are common, with several units designed by local architects including McMillan Pazdan Smith.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The building offers elevator service, coded secure entry, and individual storage units for select residences. Parking ranges from one included space in the Poinsett Garage to three deeded courtyard spaces for corner units. The HOA has no rental restrictions, making Court St Condos popular with investors seeking short-term rental income (less than 90 days permitted under city zoning).

Location & Schools

"One block from Main Street with covered walkway access through the Westin Poinsett Hotel, placing residents steps from the Peace Center, Falls Park, Fluor Field, and the Farmers Market."

The downtown location provides immediate access to Greenville's cultural and recreational amenities. Zoned for A.J. Whittenberg Elementary, League Middle, and Greenville High School.
