I live in Tuxedo, NC which is halfway between Greenville, SC and Hendersonville, NC. I operate my home inspection business in Greenville County. Greenville is also known as “The Upstate” of SC and Hendersonville is located in the Western NC mountains just south of Asheville, NC, home of the Biltmore.
