Shandon
Shandon
What it’s 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.

What it’s 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
The Congaree Vista
What it’s 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.
