We had an exceptional experience with Merrill Gardens while searching for luxury independent living in the upstate. Their new downtown Greenville location places residents within walking distance of the city's finest offerings, including dining and shopping on Main Street, baseball and entertainment at Flour Field, and outdoor activities along the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The vibrant arts scene at the Peace Center and the picturesque Unity Park and Falls Park further enhance the appeal. One of our favorite features is the charming waterfall that flows through downtown, just a few blocks from Merrill Gardens. When we're not exploring this delightful city, we relish the luxurious amenities that make living here feel akin to being on a land-based cruise ship. Jill Lindquist was outstanding; she took the time to understand our needs from our initial contact through our move into our lovely studio apartment. We appreciate her bright personality, which we still enjoy seeing around the community. We wholeheartedly recommend Merrill Gardens at Greenville!

I have had some hardscrabble years, but except for when I lived and taught overseas, this is easily the best time of my life. I wish to thank everyone who works at Merrill Gardens. You have all been so pleasant and helpful. Administrators have unfailingly dropped whatever they were doing and intently listened to my suggestions, questions and rare complaints. The servers and cooks are so easy to deal with and uncomplainingly cater to our requests. (Honestly, I don't know how they do it day in and day out.) The facility is beautiful, comfortable and spacious. The very first time I entered MG I was taken aback by the light and airiness in the lobby. That first impression was impactful and was a major factor in moving here. I had visited too many dark and dreary and lifeless residences. Can you tell I am very happy to be here? Again, a sincere thank you to every woman and man who labors here!

On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, while I was visiting the property. The following incident occurred. On this date, I was confronted and harassed by a woman accompanied by her daughter, who identified herself as the wife of the General Manager. Her behavior was intrusive, aggressive, and entirely inappropriate. For no reason other than parking on private property—a place I have visited regularly without prior issue—she subjected me to hostile and unwarranted questioning. Residents and their visitors deserve to feel safe and respected within this community. Instead, I felt targeted and harassed, and I cannot separate this experience from the fact that I am a person of color. This raises deeply troubling concerns about the culture of this facility and how visitors and residents of color may be treated. The woman’s entitled and disrespectful conduct reflects extremely poorly on the entire community, particularly given her close connection to management. If this is how members of the public are treated, it is alarming to consider how residents themselves might be subjected to similar or worse treatment. I urge you to take this matter seriously. No resident, visitor, or potential resident should ever have to experience the hostility I endured.
