Florence, SC is an affordable, walkable regional hub with a revitalized downtown, solid healthcare employers (helpful for travel therapists), local restaurants/cafés, and easy access to greenways and day‑trip outdoor options—comfortable for multi‑week assignments and still feels like a place you could call home for a few months.
You’re also about an hour from the Grand Strand (Myrtle Beach), so beaches, bigger dining options and a lively weekend scene are an easy escape.
