Belvedere
Suburban Neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina
Richland County 29204
Midcentury ranch-style homes
Strolling through Belvedere, quiet residential streets give way to 1950s and ‘60s brick ranch-style homes with spacious yards, with some houses sitting on lots nearing a quarter-acre. “Prices for homes in Belvedere can start in the $100,000s, so it’s a good opportunity for first-time buyers or people looking for an investment property,” Sloan says. Yet prices can reach the mid $200,000s for a recently updated three-bedroom with hardwood floors. Exterior features include paved driveways leading to carports or one-car garages. However, the neighborhood is prone to flooding. Much of the community has struggled since the historic 2015 thousand-year flood. While other areas received help after the flood, Belvedere was overlooked until recently, with state-funded initiatives helping to rebuild homes that have suffered from water damage.Afternoons in T.S. Martin Park
Although Belvedere boasts backyards big enough for a playground or game of catch, locals can take advantage of the recently revitalized T.S. Martin Park less than 1.5 miles west of the neighborhood. The 8-acre space got a facelift in 2021, converting old, unused tennis courts into a unique playground. Children can climb up and down the ropes on the jungle gym or weave through the bamboo jungle. Other amenities include two baseball diamonds, a walking trail and a unique basketball tree with hoops of all different heights branching out from one center.C-rated schools in Belvedere
Richland School District No. 1 serves the community of Belvedere, with schools scoring average ratings on Niche. Young students may start their educational journey at the C-rated Burton Pack Elementary School before moving on to C-plus-rated schools like W.G. Sanders Middle and W.J. Keenan High. Middle school students who participate in the career exploration magnet program are automatically enrolled in one of the four magnet academies at W.J. Keenan High School. Those academies are also career-focused, with engineering, hospitality and tourism, government and entrepreneurship courses.Sports games and concerts at Segra Park
In the spring, locals can catch a Columbia Fireflies baseball game. The minor baseball league team plays at Segra Park, a multi-use sports and entertainment complex 3 miles outside the neighborhood. Open year-round, Segra Park also hosts outdoor concerts with up to 15,000 attendees and private events. The stadium anchors the vibrant and rapidly growing Bull Street District, a mixed-use space housing offices, shops and restaurants.Downtown commutes and nearby amenities
At the neighborhood’s northern end sits Highway 277, providing quick access to amenity-rich areas throughout Columbia. Locals can find bus stops along Two Notch Road to the east and West Beltline Boulevard. Major roads like Interstates 20 and 77 are nearby, while those looking to travel even further can catch a flight at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, about 10 miles away. According to the CAP Index, Belvedere receives a 7 out of 10 crime score. Yet, the area benefits from proximity to essential establishments like surrounding houses of worship and Prisma Health Richland Hospital.Essentials along Two Notch Road
Shopping and dining options are conveniently located along streets like Two Notch Road and Beltline Boulevard. A small strip mall anchored by Food Lion and Family Dollar sits about a mile away. For a leisurely breakfast, Ray’s Diner is known for their Southern classics, whipping up favorites like creamy grits and country fried steak, while Big Bone Takeout is known for their soul food. The two main thoroughfares are also lined with used car dealers and auto parts and repair shops for more specialty needs.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
