What I love about the Columbia area:

Best of both worlds

Columbia has plenty of green spaces for community events.

Water Water Everywhere...

Columbia is home to many large bodies of water including three major rivers.

...another view of the Gervais Street Bridge connecting downtown Columbia to West Columbia.

Making connections...

Residents celebrate with a special dinner on the Gervais St. Bridge, which connects downtown Columbia to West Columbia/Cayce.

Lake Murray is big water...

Developed in the 1920s as a reservoir for hydroelectric power, this lake has approximately 500 miles of shoreline!

Historic Neighborhood: Shandon

..."Incorporated as a town on March 8, 1904, a new streetcar line built in 1910 down King Street from Devine to what is now Rosewood Drive spurred a rapid spread of homes into the area..." (source: Shandonneighborhood.org)

The neighborhood (and city) of Forest Acres

Nestled on the eastern border of the City of Columbia, Forest Acres is known as "a city within a city." For its residents, Forest Acres is a small town with big goals – and an even bigger heart. Its eclectic mix of people – from young professionals and growing families to empty-nesters and retirees – has crafted a community of character and soul that’s as irresistible as it is rare.

Historic neighborhood of Rosewood...

..."Rosewood is a vibrant and historic in-town residential neighborhood with eight beautiful parks, tree-lined streets, commercial and industrial districts, and a public airport. We also have a community orchard, two community gardens, high school sports stadiums, and City Roots–Columbia’s only urban farm! (source: https://www.rosewoodcommunity.com)

Neighborhood Schools...

There are many neighborhoods that contain schools with great walkability. One example is Meadowfield Elementary School. Meadowfield is a nice flat neighborhood with many sidewalk lined streets. It was established in the late 1960's. This classic neighborhood is also conveniently located just behind the VA Hospital.
