Our Take
Florence has solid schools and a low flood risk, but it’s a car‑centric town with almost no walkability or public transit and limited dining and nightlife options. It’s a decent option if you’re okay driving everywhere, but you’ll need to factor in higher transportation costs and a quieter, more suburban vibe.
