West Columbia is a charming city seated on the western shore of the Congaree River. It has less than 15,000 residents who benefit from its status as an important transportation hub and a major employer with one of the fastest growing economies in Lexington County. The city's accommodating municipal services enables the average person to freely partake in a good quality of life.

As a newcomer, you can expect to take advantage of nice deals in the real estate and housing market. Rental housing in West Columbia is a popular choice since most residents benefit from its flexible leasing arrangements and all-bills-paid options.

Tips for an Easy Move

Don't rush into your relationship with West Columbia. Take it slow and give yourself at least a month to find an apartment to rent suitable for your needs. Do your research and be well informed of the area you are about to call home. Make a checklist of all the things you have to do and the likely documentation that will surface from them.
