If you want your own place without a big rent bill, South Point's studios keep it simple. At 375 square feet, the open layout combines living and sleeping space with a kitchen and full bath, and there's less to clean, heat and furnish.

South Point is on Oakland Road in Forest City, a short drive to downtown Forest City, Spindale, Rutherfordton, Isothermal Community College and the area's hospital and data-center campus. Pet friendly.
