Commuting convenience and proximity to metro Columbia
Though much has changed throughout the years in Columbia, Denny Terrace has remained steadfast. “You won’t see any new construction in Denny Terrace and properties have a tendency to show their age,” says Steve Crater, who’s amassed 40 years of experience in the area as the owner of Centre Realty. Some residents are first-time buyers drawn in by the price points, while others are investors looking to put some time into reimagining fixer-upper homes. Given its proximity to South Carolina’s capital city, Denny Terrace has become a popular home base for commuters. Though the neighborhood’s forested landscape gives it an isolated feel, it’s close to several churches, faith-based institutions and the private, faith-based Columbia International University (CIU).
Midcentury homes in a forested landscape
In Denny Terrace, the streets are lined with mature pine trees, which predate even the oldest homes. Cape Cods and brick ranch styles range from the low $100,000s to upwards of $250,000 depending on the lot size and whether the property has been renovated. “It’s not uncommon that buyers purchase a house from the 1950s or ‘60s,” says Crater, adding that some even date back to the ‘40s. “There are some newer ones, but there are mostly older ones. People have been fixing them up, so it’s very much a transitional neighborhood,” says Phil Brannan, a real estate agent with Century 21 Vanguard who has lived in the Columbia area for over 20 years. “It’s a good mixture of people buying to live there and rentals because you have CIU that’s right there, so you have some college kids there.”
Brick ranches are a common home style in Danny's Terrace.
Danny Terrace homes are small and well manicured.
