Easley, SC 159 Apartments for Rent

The town so nice they named it thrice! This town was founded as Rockville, turned into Pickensville the very next year and eventually called Easley.

Easley is a small city in South Carolina that is located in both Pickens County and Anderson County. Founded in 1791 as Rockville, modern Easley is home to nearly 20,000 people. This is a city incorporated together from the two historical towns of Pickensville and Easley, the latter winning the final title due to its local railway and growing population. When the two towns' borders met as of the latter part of the 19th century, Pickensville became nothing more than a small neighborhood within the larger town.

Life in Easley

If you're talking about the northern part of the city, or the southern part, it's pretty empty and lame in regards to food. Along Highway 93 and Highway 123 in the center of town, however, there are all kinds of restaurants set up to appease the daily commuter! Easley residents are pretty lucky that these two major highways run through their town, or they might get stuck cooking every single night of the week. As it stands, however, people who live here can dine out on anything from pizza to pancakes to sushi and BBQ. Excellent!

Hankering for a steak? The LongHorn Steakhouse and Golden Corral have you covered. Craving breakfast all day? IHOP is just down the street. Seafood? Silver Bay Seafood has hush puppies, crab cakes and all you can eat! Fast food fan? Have all the Subway, Sonic and Burger King you want! And let's not forget about the many pizzerias and pasta houses, either! From Michael's Pizzeria to Fratelli's Pizza and Pasta, you'll get your fill.

Got a yen for Asian food? Great! Try out Dozo Sushi and Hibachi, the Grand China Buffet or Jin Jin Chinese Restaurant. Move here, and never go hungry again!
