Florence, SC Apartments for Rent

Located at the crossroads of Interstates 95 and 20, Florence offers apartments for rent with convenient access to the entire Eastern Carolinas region. Florence began as a railroad hub in the 1800s and has evolved into a medical and commercial center with deep historical roots. The city's average rent of $1,089 for a one-bedroom apartment sits below the South Carolina state average of $1,384, offering value within a mid-sized city setting.

Apartments for rent in Florence are situated near the city's established healthcare sector, anchored by McLeod Regional Medical Center and MUSC Florence. The downtown area features the historic Florence Little Theater and the Florence Museum of Art, Science & History. Recent downtown development has enhanced the area's dining scene, while the city's location places residents just 70 miles from Myrtle Beach's coastline and within reach of Columbia, Charleston, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Florence residents benefit from moderate weather and shorter average commute times compared to larger metropolitan areas.

Why Florence?

  • Visit the home where W.C. Handy was born in 1873 – a small log cabin that is now a museum.
  • The Florence Indian Mound and Museum is the site of the area’s largest domiciliary mound.
  • Wilson Dam was built in the 1920s and once supplied power for WWI munitions plants.
  • The Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts contains exhibits, galleries, education, and workshops.
  • Downtown Florence hosts the Alabama Renaissance Faire, a medieval fair held in October.
  • Parks include Tennessee Valley Authority Reservation and Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve.
