Grand Lawn
A gathering place for all at Hartness
One of the heartbeats of any traditional neighborhood development is its Central Park area, a large greenspace open and available to every member of the community. We call ours the Grand Lawn, and it’s a place that connects families and friends in a beautiful open space that is just as conducive to soaking up the sun on a weekday afternoon in May as it is to taking in a thrilling community fireworks display. With gorgeous long-range mountain views in the distance and inviting places to sit, run, fly a kite and play catch with the kids, the Grand Lawn will surely be a place for you to make special family memories.

Hiking Trails
Explore The Tranquility of Nature
Generations ago when the Hartness family began to acquire this exceptional parcel of land, they were attracted to its rolling pastures, water features and peaceful hardwood forests. As you wander the 180 acres of Nature Preserve at Hartness, it’s hard to believe you’re only twenty minutes from downtown Greenville and half that distance from the shopping and dining districts of Pelham and Woodruff Roads. 40% of the neighborhood is part of the Preserve, with 10 miles of biking and walking trails that meander by tranquil lakes, flowing creeks, and lushly canopied woodlands, all just waiting to be explored.
