Belvedere Homes for Rent

Belvedere, a neighborhood in Columbia, was annexed into the city in 1996 and is located just 4 miles from downtown and the University of South Carolina. This small area is known for its affordability and industrial feel, with shops, warehouses, and supply stores nearby. The residential streets feature 1950s and ‘60s brick ranch-style homes with spacious yards, some on lots nearing a quarter-acre. Home prices range from the $100,000s to mid $200,000s for updated properties. Exterior features often include paved driveways leading to carports or one-car garages. However, the neighborhood is prone to flooding, particularly since the historic 2015 flood, though recent state-funded initiatives have helped with rebuilding efforts. Belvedere is served by Richland School District No. 1, with schools receiving average ratings. Local highlights include the recently revitalized T.S. Martin Park, less than 1.5 miles away, featuring a unique playground, baseball diamonds, a walking trail, and a basketball tree. Shopping and dining options are conveniently located along Two Notch Road and Beltline Boulevard, with a strip mall anchored by Food Lion and Family Dollar about a mile away. Ray’s Diner and Big Bone Takeout offer Southern and soul food favorites. Residents can enjoy Columbia Fireflies baseball games and events at Segra Park, 3 miles away, in the Bull Street District. Highway 277 at the neighborhood’s northern end provides quick access to various parts of Columbia, with bus stops along Two Notch Road and West Beltline Boulevard. Major roads like Interstates 20 and 77 are nearby, and Columbia Metropolitan Airport is about 10 miles away.
