Rich in history? Check. Small-town charm? Got that. Tree-lined streets? Yep, got those too. Birthplace of notable Major League Baseball catcher John Ludy Riddle? You know it. A big black random clock in the center of town? Of course! How else would Clinton residents know it's time to grab an old-fashioned root beer float and head towards a first-rate college ball game?
Developed from a railroad intersection referred to as the Five Points, Clinton, South Carolina is located mere minutes from the main thoroughfares of I-385 and I-26. Yet, you'll never have to leave town to take a stroll through history, scarf down a fabulous meal, spend your hard-earned money in local shops or become a college-crazed sports fanatic.

Since Clinton temperatures have been known to reach the 90's on occasion in the months of July and August, you'll appreciate finding a rental that includes central air conditioning. Unless, of course, you want to be hot and sticky all summer. But, some like it hot so no judgments here.
Typically, though, average summer temperatures range in the 70's and 80's. Hmmmsounds like perfect weather for hosting that summer barbeque. Speaking of barbeque, don't forget to add outdoor space to your must-have apartment wish list. Many rentals in Clinton do have some sort of an outdoor space like a yard or deck where you can perfect your grilling skills.
Average winter temperatures range in the 40's, so you might want to search for a place that includes a fireplace to keep your toes warm come winter. A fireplace might also help offset the cost associated with electric heat, which a high percentage of apartments in Clinton have.

This means that Clinton is a neighborhood unto itself, but does have a few different areas such as the Clinton Commercial Historic District, Pine Haven Park and the Thornwell-Presbyterian College Historic District.

You'll find more college students living in the Thornwell-Presbyterian College Historic District and more working folks living in the Clinton Commercial Historic District and Pine Haven Park areas.
Living in Clinton
If living in a town with a population under 10,000 gets to be, you knowtoo claustrophobic, you can always sneak out to a nearby major metropolitan center like Columbia, Greenville or Spartanburg in less than an hour's drive. For the history nerd, go get lost in one of 30 nearby Revolutionary War battle sites. Or, if golf is more your thing, perfect your swing (you know it needs work) at the Musgrove Mill Golf Course. The bookworm might even decide to broaden their knowledge and take a class or two at Clinton's Presbyterian College. Smarty pants.
