Places to stay in Central, South Carolina

Central has several very large apartment complexes primarily housing students from nearby Clemson University, as well as from Central's own Southern Wesleyan University. South Carolina's senior US senator Lindsey Graham was born and raised in Central. Local restaurants include Hachi Express, Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant, Rails 133, and Bake And Cook Thai Restaurant.

If you are travelling in the area, Central is located close to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, University Union, Golden Grove Church, Saint Andrews Catholic Church and Friendship Baptist Church.
