    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.

    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.

    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.
