About Lake City

Located in Florence County in central South Carolina, Lake City hosts a population of almost 7,000 people and was first settled by a group of Scotch-Irish in 1736. However, it wasn’t until 1856 and the Northeastern Railroad that the area began to grow and develop. Only 91 miles east of Columbia, many residents of an apartment or home rental in Lake City can commute into the bigger city for work if they wish by driving about 100 minutes each way. However, most people work locally or in the cities surrounding Lake City. Besides the highway system and I-20, residents can also take advantage of the railroad that runs through the city as well as the Lake City Municipal Airport for general aviation.

Residents of a Lake City house or apartment for rent look forward to community-wide events and activities, such as Miss and Master Lake City Pageant, Summer Family Movies, the weekly Farmers Market, Oyster Roast, Lake City Concert Series, Holidayfest, and the favorite Christmas Parade. The South Carolina Tobacco Festival is also held in Lake City and not only brings millions of dollars into the local economy, but is also filled with fun events for residents and the whole family! Other local landmarks and attractions include the Ronald E. McNair Memorial, Moore Memorial Museum, and The National Bean Market Museum. Lake City Country Club is busy 7 days a week as it is the only course nearby. The Lions Municipal Park and Martha Law Municipal Parks, on opposite sides of Lake City, offer various recreational programs throughout the year.
