Springdale neighbors Columbia Metropolitan Airport

Springdale residents have got some flighty neighbors. The South Carolina town is situated next to the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, granting locals easy access to some of the country’s largest and most popular cities. One of the Midlands’ youngest towns, Springdale was established in 1955. Before the airport’s development, it was primarily a farming community largely populated by crops and livestock. Today, the 2,700 residents here enjoy the small-town vibe and the convenience that comes with living just 5 miles from downtown Columbia. “Springdale is up-and-coming,” says Angela Peterson, a Realtor with RE/MAX Southern Collection, who’s been selling homes in the area for nine years. “Neighborhoods are going through a revitalization, and it’s for buyers who want something that will get them close to the center of all the activity the Midlands has to offer.”

Platt Springs Road and nearby West Columbia serve as a hub for dining and entertainment

The creation of Platt Springs Road was a huge reason for Springdale’s economic and residential expansion, and the main drag is now flanked by some popular retail shops and restaurants, such as Carolina Buffet. Locals say the wait for a seat at one of the checkerboard tables inside may be long, but the Southern-style fried chicken, lima beans and banana pudding are well worth it. A night out could be spent along the same stretch of road enjoying craft beer and live music with friends at The Dales. For cooking at home, a grocery run can easily be handled at the Food Lion or Walmart Neighborhood Market, just two miles east in the city of Cayce.

Springdale Summerfest and Golf Cart Parade is an anticipated tradition

Every June the town celebrates summer with the Springdale Summerfest and Golf Cart Parade. In addition to the parade, the event features live music, free food and fireworks at Felton C. Benton Park on Platt Springs Road.

Springdale’s curb appeal

While Springdale’s growth has led to some new construction, the community is predominately made up of brick ranch-style and split-level homes, many dating back 50 years. “The area offers a lot of in-demand smaller floorplans for both first-time buyers and buyers looking to downsize,” Peterson says. Lots commonly offer spacious yards, adorned with mature oaks, magnolias and well-manicured bushes. The newer subdivisions are marked by contemporary homes with two-car garages that rest on compact lots and feature sidewalk-lined streets. The average sale price in Springdale hovers around $325,000. A three-bedroom could be found for $225,000 while a five-bedroom new build might fetch $375,000. “There are great housing opportunities for people wanting access to downtown Columbia without having to live in the middle of the action,” Peterson says.

Get away from it all at Columbia Metropolitan Airport

Taking to the skies is a breeze in Springdale, with the Columbia Metropolitan Airport just off Platt Springs Road. It’s among the biggest draws to the area for homebuyers who are also frequent travelers. When residents are ready for vacation, they can catch a nonstop flight to cities like New York, Chicago and Miami. Interstate 26, the longest stretch of highway in South Carolina, traces Springdale’s eastern edge. It runs from Charleston to Kingston, Tennessee, allowing residents to easily navigate the state and beyond. And downtown Columbia can be reached with a quick 5-mile trip northeast via Platt Springs Road.
