About the area

Quiet ResidentialHistoric RootsCar-DependentModest

Handy Heights is an established residential neighborhood situated just east of central Florence, closely associated with the legacy of 'Father of the Blues' W.C. Handy. The area features modest mid-century single-family homes, quiet residential streets, and close proximity to Florence's cultural landmarks.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
