Hartsville, South Carolina, has been settled for centuries, with Captain Thomas E. Hart first discovering the area way back in 1760.

Hartsville bills itself as "a small town with a big heart." This small town features the southern hospitality that you'd expect in South Carolina, while growing itself into an important town in this region of the country. The 7,764 population enjoys perks such as Coker College, a unique downtown atmosphere, and plenty of representation from the industrial sector. It's community- oriented and has a focus on developing the arts and culture of the area.

Moving to Hartsville

Pinebridge Apartments and Palmetto Apartments are the starting point for your apartment-for-rent search in Hartsville, SC. These apartment complexes often have units available, especially if you go in right after semesters are over and landlords lose the students who are living there to the summer break. Outside of these two apartment complexes, single family houses and apartments make up the majority of living options in the area. While this is a developing area, it doesn't have many homes on the market that are privately owned or handled by property management companies. When you see one, you need to be prepared to jump on it with a stellar tenant file. Those with clean credit, non smokers, and people who don't have pets benefit the most out of a market without a lot of supply to it. If you fit into one of these groups, you stand out among the other applicants in a big way.

Neighborhoods in Hartsville

Hartsvilles has quite a few distinct neighborhoods.

City Center: City Center is a desirable place to live, with tons of businesses located along the main thoroughfare, a Walk Score rating over 70, and a friendly bunch of residents who are the epitome of Southern hospitality.

West Hartsville: West Hartsville takes you out of the downtown area and provides you with more modern facilities, including up to 3 bedroom apartments in the area. There's more acreage in this area, so you'll find more built up single family houses turned into home rentals and rental apartments in this part of Hartsville.

North Hartsville: This is another area that has more expansive lots, resulting in less demand than other areas in the city.

Pine Ridge / Green Hill: This takes you along the Prestwood Lake, which gives you waterfront access without a significant increase in your rent.

Lydia: Lydia is in the southern part of town, and it takes you away from the bulk of the bustle of downtown. The prices are lower in this area, as you're also away from the waterfront and other desirable property options.

Coker College / S Marquis Highway: Right off of the college, this area offers a particular demographic, with student housing and businesses that serve the college making their homes here.

Bayview Circle / W Bobo Newsom Highway: This is near the downtown area, but far enough outside of it that you enjoy reduced rental prices while maintaining access to the town's amenities.

Living in Hartsville

The mild weather throughout the year also helps with this. The area is very focused on arts and culture, with the Black Creek Arts Council helping to put in art installations around town, the Hartsville Community Players bringing in theater, and the Center Theater always bringing along entertainment options. This area is also good for cultivating small businesses, so when you walk around town you're seeing new and unique restaurants and shopping options, instead of the same old chain stores you see in thousands of other towns in the country.
