Convenient suburb of Columbia
Just around 4 miles from downtown Columbia is Burton Heights, an area consisting of modest ranch-style and bungalow properties. JT Livingston, a real estate agent with Keller Williams who has sold a couple of houses in the area, says, "People move here for convenience to Columbia and better price points compared to other nearby areas." Many locals will frequent downtown Columbia for work or various shopping and dining opportunities, but residents also have their pick of the area's local establishments like Greene’s Bar-BQ. For a change of pace, residents can explore the walking trail at Lorick Park or sign their children up for one of the park's youth outreach programs. The Congaree National Park is just a 30-mile drive away, and it offers locals a selection of hiking trails and access to activities on the Congaree River.
Burton Heights homes: Bungalows, ranch-style and two-story properties
Bungalows and ranch-style properties line Burton Heights’ narrow streets that often spread into cul-de-sacs, but two-story properties like Cape Cods sit scattered throughout the area. Properties here range from under $100,000 to just upwards of $200,000, depending on the property’s age, size and condition. A 2-bedroom ranch-style house with a porch can go for $86,000, while a 3-bedroom colonial-inspired property will go for around $220,000. Burton Heights also has lots for sale ranging from under an acre to over two. Houses often have smaller, fenced-in front yards, with neighboring properties close together. Sidewalks are narrow in some areas or nonexistent in others. Some residents have attached garages or driveways, but many do not, so they park their cars on the streets, often partly in the grass.
Many people in Burton Heights own brick ranch-style houses.
