    South Kilbourne

    What's it like to live in South Kilbourne?

    Historic charm at accessible prices defines South Kilbourne, where this Columbia neighborhood offers character-filled homes from the early 20th century. The district features excellent access to both downtown employment and the developing Cross Hill Market area. While some streets show varied investment levels, the combination of central location, architectural interest, and remarkable affordability makes it worth exploring for renters seeking value in South Carolina's capital city.

    The Congaree Vista

    What's it like to live in The Congaree Vista?

    Artists and young professionals are flocking to The Vista, where Columbia's former warehouse district now houses some of the city's most distinctive living spaces. These converted industrial buildings offer architectural elements impossible to recreate in new construction – exposed brick walls, timber beams, and soaring ceilings creating apartments with genuine character. The neighborhood's pedestrian-friendly design means walking to both work and weekend entertainment, eliminating designated driver concerns when enjoying the area's vibrant restaurant and gallery scene. Most buildings feature secured entry and dedicated parking – essential amenities in this increasingly popular district. When comparing rental options, units facing interior courtyards provide significantly quieter environments than those overlooking busier streets – a distinction particularly valuable for light sleepers or those working non-traditional hours.

    Shandon

    What's it like to live in Shandon?

    Academic energy buzzes near the University of South Carolina's historic Horseshoe. Renters score antebellum mansions converted to apartments but face gameday parking chaos during SEC football weekends. The hidden gem? Free summer concerts at the never-crowded Maxcy Gregg Park.

Columbia Renter Confidence Survey

National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states

Here’s how Columbia ranks on:

Overview of Findings

Apartment List has released Columbia’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of 111 million American renters nationwide.

"Columbia renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "However, ratings varied greatly across different categories, indicating that even though renters love Columbia, some aspects can be better."

Key findings in Columbia include the following:

  • Columbia renters gave their city a B- overall.
  • The highest-rated categories for Columbia were affordability, state and local taxes, and the quality of local schools, which all received A grades.
  • The areas of concern to Columbia renters are recreational activities (D) and public transit (C).
  • Millennial renters are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of A-.
  • Columbia did relatively poorly compared to other cities in South Carolina, including Charleston (A+), Greenville (A+) and Myrtle Beach (A+).
  • Columbia did relatively poorly compared to other cities nationwide, including Denver, CO (B+), Austin, TX (A-) and Seattle, WA (B+).
  • The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.

Renters say:

  • "It’s a beautiful city. Easy commuting access from highways. The only thing I don’t like is the erratic weather: you never know when to put your summer clothes away!" – Leandra E.
  • "Love the people, but rent is expensive." – Helen S.
  • "I like the weather, the convenience of local shopping, and the friendly, kind people here." – Sheila B.
  • "I love the activities but the cost of living is high compared to pay. Safe, nice places are either really expensive or far from downtown." – Jiani H.
