The homes of Florence
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for Florence CDP.
More homes in Florence were built in the 1970s than in any other decade, 28% of them, followed by homes built before 1940 at 27%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 51 years old, unless it has been redone since.
80% of homes here were built before 1980. In a home built before 1978, a remodel that disturbs painted cabinets, trim or walls has to be done by a firm certified for lead-safe work by EPA. Ask for the certificate when you book the measure.
Detached houses are 55% of homes in Florence; the rest are townhomes, condos and apartments. In a condo or townhome the association may have to approve work on plumbing, walls or wiring, so ask for its rules before the measure.
