Within walking distance to Downtown Florence
Located about a mile west of Downtown Florence and a mile east of the commercial-centric areas of West Florence, Green Acres stands out for its location and more-affordable prices.

Florence continues to grow, with the expansion of new industry and development, but maintains a small-town comradery. "You learn to speak to your neighbors more because it is someone you see more than once in your life," says Crystal White Stroud, a Realtor with My Real Estate Group, who was born and raised in Florence and has around 20 years of experience.
