Florence Reviews
Rating 4.32 out of 5 28 reviews
My family and I moved to Florence for the public school system. We enjoy living in the country and our kids being able to play outside without worrying about traffic from the city. I just wish they had more restaurants and family friendly things to do!
Our town has all of the charm as Mayberry with neighbors helping neighbors and a police force that really serves and protects. We have a very low crime rate, schools that educate children in conjunction with families. Though Florence is a small city, it is truly the village that takes care of each other. We are not the nostalgic step back in time the good old days. No, we are the step forward to the good new days. We are a unique place to live, raise children, grow old and enjoy the true pleasures of life with neighbors, friends, and families.
Florence is a family oriented town. Everytime you walk in a building of Florence there is someone who knows your name and a family member of yours. The city had been ranked the safest in Mississippi, which is a great start for growth. As Hwy 49 widens, more businesses will flourish.
