29 Sep FALL in love with The Woodlands at Furman

As the leaves begin to change in upstate Greenville, The Woodlands at Furman becomes an especially inviting place to call home. Nestled in a serene, natural setting and just steps from Furman University, this award-winning not-for-profit Life Plan Community is surrounded by the kind of fall beauty that inspires both adventure and reflection.

Everyday Beauty, Right Outside Your Door

The Woodlands at Furman sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where the crisp autumn air and vibrant foliage create a breathtaking backdrop. Living at The Woodlands means you don’t have to go far to enjoy the season. Our walkable campus makes it easy to stroll under the changing leaves or join neighbors for a morning walk on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. More than a few cyclists love to take the trail to Travelers Rest for breakfast or lunch. This 20-mile greenway winds along the Reedy River and through wooded paths, offering endless ways to enjoy fall’s fresh air. 

Being next to Furman University adds even more to the experience. Residents often wander across campus to take in the views around Furman Lake, watch a student performance or attend an OLLI lecture. In the fall, the mix of crisp weather and campus energy creates the perfect backdrop for learning, relaxing and connecting.

Autumn Adventures Beyond Campus

Fall is also the perfect time for day trips and outings. Residents can:

• Drive the Blue Ridge Mountains for spectacular leaf-peeping
• Visit Travelers Rest, a nearby hub of dining and boutique shopping
• Spend the afternoon in downtown Greenville (only 16 minutes away)

Local favorites like Tandem Creperie, Sidewall Pizza and the Travelers Rest Farmers Market provide fresh flavors that taste even better on a crisp fall afternoon.

Golf and Wellness in the Autumn Air

For golf lovers, fall is a favorite season. Just minutes from their residence, residents can hop in a cart and play at The Furman Golf Club, ranked among the best public courses in South Carolina. Cooler weather and colorful fairways make the experience even more enjoyable.

Wellness is woven into life at The Woodlands. Outdoor yoga on the lawn, brisk walks through the neighborhood or a bike ride into Travelers Rest make it easy to stay active here.

The Heart of the Community

Ask any resident and they’ll tell you that the people are what make The Woodlands at Furman feel like home. Whether you’re sharing meals, attending events or enjoying a quiet evening together, there are countless opportunities to be engaged. Picture a cool afternoon by the outdoor fire, a bucket of your favorite beverages within reach and friends gathered close–these are the kinds of moments that turn neighbors into family. One resident summed it up best: “The best thing about our move to The Woodlands is the people. The wonderful people here have made our lives even richer.”

Peace of Mind, All Year Long

As Greenville’s only locally owned and operated not-for-profit Life Plan Community, The Woodlands at Furman blends natural beauty, vibrant living and a continuum of care that provides lasting peace of mind. That reassurance gives residents the freedom to focus on what matters most, like soaking up a perfect fall day.
