Cul-de-sacs and cookouts in suburban Columbia
Quiet cul-de-sacs and neighborhood cookouts are common in Spring Valley, a suburban community located 12 miles north of downtown Columbia. It’s the type of place where people wave hello on the street and greet each other by name. Many residents put down roots decades ago and never left, enjoying the reliably quiet roads and tree-filled landscape. While there are a few newer subdivisions in the area, Pat Andrews, a Realtor with Keller Williams Preferred, who has over 20 years of experience, says: “This neighborhood has kept its integrity.”
In addition to its serene environment, Spring Valley offers convenience. Along with downtown Columbia, other shopping destinations like Spring Valley Commons and The Village at Sandhill are a quick drive away via Two Notch Road and U.S. Route 1. “That’s why a lot of people have been here for years and years,” Andrews says.

Spring Valley is an established community
Spring Valley is made up of several subdivisions interspersed between grassy hills and ponds. “Most neighborhoods are really well established, and you have lots of mature trees. There are little lakes scattered around the community that people fish in,” says Billy Trevathan, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who lives in the area. “There are a few newer developments with HOAs, but the older subdivisions don’t have HOAs.”

Ranch homes built in the 1970s run from $150,000 to $250,000, while larger Colonial Revival-style homes with roomy lots cost between $250,000 and $400,000. Regardless of address, most residents enjoy wide driveways, two-car garages and tree-lined streets.
