Central Apartments for Rent

A charming little town in Pickens County, Central South Carolina is actually located in the northwestern corner of South Carolina — nowhere near the center. Because it was the halfway point on a former railroad line from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia, the town was referred to as “Central.”

Just 4 miles from Clemson University, Central has a large student population. In addition, Central is home to Wesleyan University, a four-year Christian college. Renting an apartment in Central will also put you near other colleges, including Tri-County Technical College.

Central is near the Blue Ridge Mountains, a popular location for outdoor recreation, including camping and hiking.

With an economy that is industrial-based, Central is home to several corporations and manufacturing plants, including BASF Corporation and Central Textiles. Students wishing to be near Clemson University or families looking for a quiet spot to call home will find their apartment for rent in Central.
