Townhouses and cul-de-sacs
Late 20th- and early 21st-century ranch-style and split-level homes sit on quarter-acre lots with paved driveways and manicured lawns, and Florence’s residents can be found walking their dogs along quiet, sidewalk-less streets that end in cul-de-sacs. A two-bedroom detached ranch-style home can cost $180,000, while a three-bedroom contemporary Craftsman in the Whitestone subdivision can cost $340,000 plus $145 in monthly homeowners association fees.
Townhouses with small yards and spacious garages are also common. Prices vary by subdivision and include HOA fees; a two-bedroom in Hickswood Crossing can cost $182,000 plus $205 in monthly fees, while a three-bedroom in Whitestone can cost $320,000 plus $145 in monthly fees.
New townhomes are among the housing options available in Florence.
