Burton Heights Homes for Rent

Burton Heights, located about 4 miles from downtown Columbia, features modest ranch-style and bungalow homes, with some Cape Cod properties scattered throughout. The neighborhood is known for its affordability compared to nearby areas, with home prices ranging from under $100,000 to over $200,000. Residents often frequent downtown Columbia for work, shopping, and dining, but local options like Greene’s Bar-BQ and Uncle Buck’s Kitchen are popular as well. For outdoor activities, Lorick Park offers a walking trail, basketball courts, a splash pad, and youth outreach programs. Congaree National Park, 30 miles away, provides hiking trails and river activities. Burton Heights is primarily car-dependent, with narrow or nonexistent sidewalks and limited parking options, leading many to park on the streets. Public transportation is available, though most trips require at least one transfer. The neighborhood is served by the Richland One School District, which includes schools offering gifted programs. Major employers such as South Carolina University and the South Carolina State House are nearby, and the Lexington Medical Center is 9 miles away. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is approximately 15 miles from the neighborhood.
