The Greater Columbia Area
Columbia is a sprawling city that offers a variety of entertainment. The Greater Columbia area includes Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Newberry, Gaston, Swansea, Pelion, Lugoff, Elgin, and other smaller towns that make up the midlands of South Carolina. With a centralized location in SC we are within hours of both the mountains and the beach. If you desire day trips to a variety of locations we have everything from the oceans and salt marshes to the mountains with lakes and rivers in between to offer.
One of the major focal points of Columbia is Lake Murray, which covers 78 square miles. Lake Murray is popular for boaters, skiers, and fishing. Lake Murray hosts an annual Bassmasters fishing tournament, offers elegant homes, shopping, quiet afternoons sipping sweet tea, and scenic sunsets. Lake Murray Real Estate is hot right now and continues to remain highly desirable.
Columbia is also home to many sports teams and events. The local college team, Un. of South Carolina Gamecocks, is a D1 team that competes in the SEC. Columbia also has semi-professional baseball and hockey, and soon arena league football. Golf is a popular sport with our terrific year round weather and we have numerous golf courses in the area.
If you like the night life you can start your evening with a concert, play, or ballet at one of our local theaters before hitting the bar scene in the Vista or Five Points in downtown Columbia.
