Located in Pickens County just 10 minutes north from the city of Clemmons, the town of Central offers residents a comforting, quiet and charming way of life. Despite its name, the town of Central is not located in the central part of South Carolina; in fact, the town is actually centrally located between the booming cities of Atlanta and Charlotte. It is because of this prime location that the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line Railway decided to set up shop in Central importing and exporting goods—as well as new residents—back and forth between Atlanta, Central and Charlotte. That charming atmosphere still exists in Central today and visitors will quickly realize it once they stroll along the streets into the town's downtown district and gaze upon the Victorian architecture that is prevalent throughout town.
Central is an ideal place to settle down and raise a family, and as a college town (Central is home to Southern Wesleyan University), the town and its residents places a strong emphasis on education. Future homebuyers should take note that Central's real estate market is predominantly anchored by listings for single-family homes. However, there are a number of residential villages with townhomes and condos that cater the town's university population as well.
For parks and recreation, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the many programs and sports leagues provided by the Central Parks and Recreation Department. Additionally, Central and Clemson have a joint partnership in providing residents of both communities with a number of enrichment programs, sports leagues and classes at the Central-Clemson Recreational Center.
