What to Know About Pointe Grand Spartanburg Apartments

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

Pointe Grand is a mid-rise apartment community in downtown Spartanburg with one- and two-bedroom floor plans

Pointe Grand sits on Main Street in Spartanburg's downtown core, a location that puts you within walking distance of restaurants, galleries, and the Spartanburg Regional History Museum. The community offers furnished and unfurnished units, with floor plans ranging from 600 to over 900 square feet. Amenities include a fitness center, a rooftop terrace, and controlled-access parking.

The building itself is a converted historic structure, which means ceilings tend to be higher than in newer construction and the bones of the building carry Spartanburg's architectural character. If you work downtown or want to live near the arts district, the location cuts your commute and puts you in the middle of what's happening in the city.

Key Takeaways

  • Pointe Grand offers one- and two-bedroom apartments in a downtown location on Main Street with walkable access to restaurants, shops, and cultural venues.
  • The building is a historic conversion, so units feature higher ceilings and architectural details typical of older Spartanburg buildings.
  • Furnished and unfurnished options are both available, which matters if you're relocating or prefer not to buy furniture immediately.
  • Parking is controlled-access and included with your lease, and the rooftop terrace and fitness center are shared amenities for residents.

Floor plans and unit sizes

One-bedroom units at Pointe Grand typically run between 600 and 700 square feet, with a separate living area, kitchen, and bedroom. Two-bedroom units are larger, often exceeding 900 square feet, and give you a second bedroom that works as a guest room, home office, or second living space depending on your needs.

The exact layout varies by floor and unit position within the building. Some units have corner windows that bring in more natural light, while others face the interior courtyard. When you contact the leasing office, ask whether they have a floor plan you can review before scheduling a tour—knowing the specific layout matters more than knowing the average square footage.

Furnished versus unfurnished options

Pointe Grand offers both furnished and unfurnished apartments, which is useful if you're moving to Spartanburg temporarily for work or if you want to move in without buying a full set of furniture right away. Furnished units typically include a bed, sofa, dining table, and basic kitchen equipment. Unfurnished units come empty except for appliances.

Furnished leases sometimes have different terms than unfurnished ones—shorter lease lengths, different pricing structures, or restrictions on modifications. Ask the leasing office what the furnished lease includes and whether you can add or remove pieces if you want to customize the space.

Parking and building amenities

Parking at Pointe Grand is controlled-access and included in your lease, which means you don't pay separately for a spot and you have secure entry to the garage. This matters in downtown Spartanburg, where street parking can be limited and paid lots are common. The building also has a rooftop terrace where residents can gather, and a fitness center on-site.

The rooftop space overlooks downtown and is a genuine asset if you use it—many residents don't. The fitness center is small but functional for basic workouts. If you need specialized equipment or classes, you'll likely supplement with a membership at a larger gym, but the on-site option is convenient for quick workouts.

Downtown Spartanburg location and walkability

Main Street in downtown Spartanburg has changed significantly over the past decade. The area now has restaurants ranging from casual to upscale, coffee shops, galleries, and the Spartanburg Regional History Museum. The Spartanburg Little Theatre and Chapman Cultural Center are both within a few blocks, and the Spartanburg County Public Library is nearby.

If you work downtown or at one of the hospitals or colleges in the area, living at Pointe Grand can cut your commute to a walk or a short drive. The neighborhood is also walkable for evening activities—you can walk to dinner or a gallery opening without needing your car. That said, Spartanburg is still a car-dependent city, so you'll need a vehicle for most errands and activities outside downtown.

Lease terms and contact information

Lease lengths, pricing, and specific policies vary, so contact the leasing office directly to discuss what's available. You can reach Pointe Grand through their website or by visiting the leasing office in person on Main Street. They can answer questions about current availability, pricing for furnished versus unfurnished units, and any move-in specials they may be running.

When you call or visit, have a sense of your timeline and whether you need furnished or unfurnished. That information helps the leasing team show you the right units and discuss lease terms that match your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pointe Grand pet-friendly?

Pet policies vary by community, so contact the leasing office directly to learn whether pets are allowed, what the breed or size restrictions are, and whether there are additional fees. Many downtown apartments have specific pet policies because of shared spaces and close quarters.

What utilities are included in the rent?

Utility coverage differs depending on the lease and unit type. Some leases include water and trash, while others require you to pay those separately. Contact the leasing office to confirm what's included in the lease price you're quoted, because utility costs can add significantly to your monthly expense.

Can I break my lease early if I need to move?

Early lease termination policies vary. Some communities allow it with a penalty, while others hold you to the full lease term. Ask about this before you sign, especially if your job or living situation might change during your lease period.

Is there guest parking, or do visitors need to pay?

Guest parking policies differ by building. Some communities allow visitors to park in designated guest spots at no charge, while others require guests to pay or park on the street. This matters if you have frequent visitors or family staying with you.

How close is Pointe Grand to Spartanburg's main employers?

Downtown location puts you close to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, Spartanburg Community College, and various downtown offices. Drive times to other major employers like BMW Manufacturing or Michelin depend on traffic, but most are 15 to 25 minutes away. Ask the leasing office about commute times to your specific workplace.
