Tabor City, NC Homes for Rent

Tabor City, just across the South Carolina border in North Carolina, is a small town that thrived as an agricultural center through the 19th and early 20th centuries. At one time, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad transported goods like tobacco, turpentine and sweet potatoes from Tabor City to larger towns, while mills and factories added to production. Today, Tabor City has retained much of its rural charm. Agriculture still plays an outsized role in the local economy, and businesses lining Main Street call back to a bygone era. “It’s folksy. It’s the type of town where you walk there on Main Street, and you have your little grilles and cafes,” says Ann Walters, a local Realtor at J. Ray Realty. Many houses in Tabor City branch off Main Street, lining quiet residential streets shaded by trees. Stretches of farmland, with the occasional home on several acres, expand beyond the town’s official boundaries. Residential options include hundred-year-old farmhouses, ranch-style homes from the mid-20th century and recently built New Traditional properties with two-car garages. Homes have recently sold for between $160,000 and $430,000, and a few apartment complexes on the edge of town
