Our Take

Hartsville is a laid-back and fairly affordable small town in South Carolina with a low crime rate. While it lacks walkability and public transportation, it's a great choice for families and professionals looking for a quiet, green space-filled life. Just be prepared for some drive times and a relatively limited dining and nightlife scene.
