Peaceful living within reach of other parts of Columbia metro
Southeast Columbia offers suburban living, bolstered by scenic rural landscapes, woodlands and a mix of ponds, lakes and streams. The Congaree River also snakes the lower end of this side of the Columbia area. Due to some of these water ways, many homeowners here can experience waterfront views from their own backyards. Southeast Columbia is about 10 miles away from the Columbia’s downtown, where entertainment and a number of institutions like the University of South Carolina exist. “I like the Southeast. It’s very close to downtown, and is kind of a mid-point between the northeast and Lexington for different shopping options and restaurants,” says Angelia Dodson, who lives in the Southeast area and who is a realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Medley. Garners Ferry Road is a major roadway that cuts through Southeast Columbia and is lined with many big box stores like a Walmart Supercenter, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Food Lion to meet the various shopping needs of residents.
