Convenient Columbia living
With a name like Park DeVille, it should come as no surprise that this subdivision features its own neighborhood green space. But it’s not just Smithton Park that’s within walking distance, this community is also home to elementary and middle schools, as well as a small shopping corridor, making grocery shopping and dining out easily accessible. Most of the area’s sloping streets are lined with sidewalks and mature trees, offering a relaxing atmosphere for evening strolls. While this laid-back residential vibe attracts many residents, local Realtor Alice Leeper with RE/MAX says the location and condo options are also a huge draw to the community. After all, the city center is less than 5 miles away. Those who come to Park DeVille will find it “has a friendly, everybody says hello, kind of vibe,” Leeper says.
Multifamily and single-family options
Most of Park DeVille’s housing options are apartments or condos. The Park DeVille Place condos were built in the 1980s and 1990s and range from $150,000 to nearly $200,000, with added monthly HOA fees. “The condos are very popular,” says local Realtor Nancy Holliday with RE/MAX. “In the last few years, they’ve gone up in price unbelievably — [some] from $100,000 to $180,000,” Still, “they’re much cheaper than other condos in Columbia,” Holliday adds. Single-family housing options also date back to the late 20th century and many sit on over a quarter of an acre, reflecting ranch-style and bi-level designs. There are also several unique builds here, some with storybook-like stone inlay and others with unconventional asymmetrical designs. Homes in Park DeVille typically cost between $300,000 and $400,000, depending on their size, location and condition.

Smithton Park, L. A. Nickell Golf Course and more
Park DeVille is home to Smithton Park, a small neighborhood green space with a playground and picnic tables. For other options, Leeper recommends the nearly 550-acre Cosmo Park. It features a number of sports amenities, including soccer, football and baseball fields, making it a go to spot for youth sports leagues, according to Leeper. Besides boasting the city’s largest playground, Cosmo Park also features the L. A. Nickell Golf Course, which hosts the Tuesday Night Scramble. “A lot of people confuse it with a league, but it’s just a two-person scramble,” says Dan Frost, the course’s recreation supervisor. “People sign up the Monday night before and it fills up fast.” The 9-hole scramble lasts a total of 16 weeks, split between L. A. Nickell and Lake of the Woods golf courses.
Smithton Park is located at 3501 W. Worley Street.
