Florence, SC is conveniently located near major cities such as Charlotte, NC, and Charleston, SC. With warm weather, it offers outdoor recreation, such as, golf, tennis, and water activities year-round. This mid-sized Southern city is large enough to boast a performance theater, symphony orchestra, many ballet companies, museums, festivals, the Pee Dee Cyclones in the Southern Professional Hockey league, and the world-class recreation complex Freedom Florence. Still, the City is small enough to preserve a small-town feeling with several tree-lined streets and parks, all of which add to the pleasant lifestyle that citizens enjoy. A recent revitalization of its downtown has made Florence a center of activity for visitors and people living in the Pee Dee region. Great dining, cultural events, live music, shopping and the arts now define the Florence scene. With excellent year-round weather and a very comfortable cost of living, Florence is sure to please!
