Lake Katherine Home for Sale

Lake Katherine in Columbia has transformed from a weekend retreat in the early 1900s to a sought-after waterfront community. The neighborhood features a mix of renovated 1950s ranch-style homes and new multi-story constructions, many with Craftsman features. The 2015 historic flooding led to significant renovations, enhancing the area's appeal. There are over 80 waterfront homes, some with private docks. Residents enjoy proximity to downtown Columbia, Fort Jackson, and various dining and shopping options. Grocery shopping is convenient with Whole Foods Market at Cross Hill Market, Fresh Market and Publix at Trenholm Plaza, and Trader Joe’s at Cardinal Crossing. Dining options include Tombo Grille, Midwood Smokehouse, and Another Broken Egg Café. Hampton Park offers recreational activities such as basketball, baseball, and tennis. Schools serving the area include Brennen Elementary, Crayton Middle, and A.C. Flora High, all highly rated. Upperclassmen can attend Richland One Middle College, an award-winning charter school. Lake Katherine is safer than the national average and provides direct access to Interstate 77, connecting residents to the broader Columbia metro area and beyond.
