Suburban Neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina
Richland County 29223

Woodfield homes offer affordability compared to nearby Arcadia Lakes
A collection of homes, primarily built in the 1960s and '70s, punctuate the neighborhood's quiet streets. Two small lakes sit within Woodfield, providing waterfront options for buyers looking to relocate. Ranch-style and split-level homes on quarter- to half-acre lots are shaded by a canopy of linden, oak and pine trees. Larger homes are rare and often include Greek Revivals, colonials and Craftsman styles. Driveways sit alongside many properties in the neighborhood, but the streets are wide enough for on-street parking. Prices typically range from $160,000 to $250,000, making Woodfield more affordable than neighboring areas like Arcadia Lakes and Wildewood, where prices can climb from $500,000 to $1 million. Homes remain on the market for a little over 35 days.Woodfield is close to multiple private lakes and an expansive state park
The 1,400-acre Sesquicentennial State Park is roughly 5 miles away. Known to locals as Sesqui, the large natural area showcases an array of foliage and outdoor recreation opportunities. At the park's center is a 30-acre lake perfect for fishing, kayaking or canoeing. Bikers and hikers often frequent the shaded 6-mile loop of trail. The path is highlighted by small waterfalls and creeks woven throughout the massive green space. Kids can enjoy exploring the park's multiple playgrounds and splash pad. "So many of the trails are paved, and they'll often go over a few scenic bridges," Cobb says. Residents can also take advantage of the scenic views of the Congaree and Saluda rivers. Recent developments have provided a safer route for pedestrians that stretches from USC to the Riverfront and Riverwalk parks.The Richland School District offers an array of magnet programs
Students in the Richland School District may attend one of three public elementary schools: Windsor, Jackson Creek or L.W. Conder. The elementary schools are graded with C-plus, B-minus and C-plus Niche scores, respectively. L.W. Conder has a C-plus Niche score and is an arts integration magnet school within walking distance for many. The elementary school allows kindergarten through fifth-grade students to learn from professional artists and participate in weekly specialized arts clubs. Students later filter into Dent or E.L. Wright Middle schools, earning B and B-plus from Niche, respectively. The latter provides several magnet options, including language immersion and a leadership academy. Richland Northeast High School has a B from Niche, as well. Students can apply for the 'Horizon' magnet program, which offers global learning opportunities. It is also known for its convergence media magnet program focusing on journalism and a robust arts and theatre curriculum. Higher education is also readily available to those in Woodfield, as the University of South Carolina is only 8 miles southwest.Soda City draws Woodfield residents downtown
The most well-known event in Columbia is arguably Soda City. "Soda City is huge here," Shealey says. "It's every Saturday and super dog-friendly. They shut down Main Street and line it with local vendors." It's located across from the Columbia Museum of Art and just a few blocks from EdVenture, one of the country's top children's museums. The Vista, a historic market beloved for its expansive art scene, isn't far away either. "It's a great place for a date night since you can park and walk around," Cobb adds. Its cobblestone streets lead to several art galleries and performance centers. "I really enjoy the Columbia City Ballet, and then you have Broadway performances at the Koger Center for the Arts, too."Getting in and around Woodfield
The entire northeast is experiencing a revitalization of roadways to stay ahead of the city's continuous growth. With two major interstates — 20 and 77 — running through Woodfield, this suburban enclave gives residents easy access to all Columbia offers without the hustle of living in the city center. Main thoroughfares that run near or through the town include Trenholm Road, Decker Boulevard, Arcadia Lakes Drive and Two Notch Road. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is 20 miles away; however, limited direct flights are available, so most drive 88 miles via I-77 N to fly out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Locals can drive to MUSC Health Columbia for immediate healthcare needs, roughly 3 miles northeast.Close to Trenholm Plaza, Two Notch Road and Decker Boulevard
As the neighborhood sits off Interstates 20 and 77, many restaurants are within reach. "One of the things I love most about Columbia is all of the options you have to eat locally," Cobb says. "We've all had enough of the outback steakhouses, and the food scene here is great in general." There's usually a long line to get into Tacos Nayarit, known for its birria tacos. Colorful murals, eclectic furniture and a patio decorated with string lights add to the restaurant's fun vibe. Little Pigs BBQ serves up the most popular Southern cooking in the area, including ribs, pork chops and fried chicken. A Food Lion sits at the neighborhood's western end when you need to pick up grocery essentials. By hopping on I-77, locals can quickly visit the amenity-rich Forest Acres area, home to a plethora of shopping and dining options. National and local retailers sit within Trenholm Plaza, including Bath and Body Works, Home Goods and Scout & Molly's Boutique. Tazza Kitchen and the Original Pancake House are two of the more popular local restaurants. The Comedy House is a few miles down Decker Boulevard near Food Lion. The venue is well-known for its stand-up acts and celebrity-themed cabaret.
