Arthurtown
Suburban Neighborhood in Cayce, South Carolina
Lexington County 29201, 29209
Drive through this Cayce, South Carolina neighborhood on a Saturday and you’ll see University of South Carolina fans tailgating around nearly every corner. Home to Williams-Brice Stadium, Arthurtown still shows signs of its industrial roots, but Mary Lane Sloan, broker and co-owner of the Art of Real Estate says, “it’s definitely growing because of its proximity to the University and downtown Columbia.”
Single-family homes are scattered across the neighborhood. The median home price in Arthurtown is around $165,000, making it relatively more affordable than surrounding areas in Columbia. “Some of the older houses in Arthurtown are being redone and modernized by homebuyers,” Sloan says. You’ll notice a range of styles sitting side-by-side on small lots, including mobile homes, bungalows with small, screened-in patios and ranchers with vinyl siding.
Students here funnel into Richland County District One. “They’ll typically attend South Kilbourne Elementary School, Hand Middle School and Dreher High School, some of the best schools in the area,” says Cynthia J. Smith, owner and broker-in-charge at Century Carolina Realty. Hand Middle School recently started a garden and greenhouse project that donates the harvested crops to local shelters and food banks. It's also known for its dance and orchestra programs. Those students later feed into Dreher High School, where they can continue to refine their creative and artistic skills or join one of the many athletic teams that have won multiple state titles.
Granby Park sits less than 4 miles outside the center of the neighborhood. It’s the southernmost part of the Three Rivers Greenway, which connects the cities of Columbia, West Columbia and Cayce. The 24-acre park is made up of several hiking and biking trails, and is dog friendly. Relax on the benches and swings that overlook the Congaree River or cast a line into the water in hopes of catching a fish or two.
Named after the rivers that run through Columbia and Cayce, River Rat Brewery has become a favorite spot among locals. Try one of their seasonal beers like the twisted lemon wheat ale or grab the pimento brisket Philly and head up to the rooftop patio to catch a game. You can also take in the views of Williams-Brice Stadium. Another neighborhood staple is Bernie’s Chicken, loved by people across the state for its comfort food. Walk up to the counter to order Bernie’s special that comes with fried chicken, french fries, coleslaw and an ice-cold sweet tea. For dessert, customers rave about the banana pudding.
Take a step back in time at the South Carolina Military Museum that now calls Arthurtown home. It was originally in Sumter but made the move closer to the capital city. The museum has two exhibits full of artifacts detailing the history of the state’s military operations dating back to the late 17th century.
The neighborhood’s industrial history reveals itself along the two main thoroughfares in Arthurtown – Bluff Road and Shop Road – flanked by car repair shops, warehouses and supply stores. Shop Road gives residents easy access to downtown Columbia where there are plenty of grocery and retail options. This affordable community offers convenience to the hustle and bustle of the university's football stadium and the heart of the city that sits just 4 miles north.
