Rural escape within reach of Columbia
This neighborhood in the unincorporated Richland County community of Hopkins meets the desires of those seeking a more quiet, country life, while keeping them within reasonable distance of the amenities of bigger locales. While some more compact housing developments are present, modest single-story homes comfortably buffered by large grassy spaces are common here. Several of these homes can be viewed from a distance while driving on country roads that cut through wooded areas populated by high-reaching trees like the tall pines widely seen in this part of the country. Simantha Robinson, a realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty and who has made over 60 sales in the Hopkins area, says the community has drawn many from the armed forces over the years due to the nearby presence of military bases. “The area is mostly known to a lot of military, but it’s not too far from downtown Columbia. It provides the flexibility of having the country life, along with the city life,” Robinson says. Hopkins is located about 15 miles southeast of Columbia, which is itself home to the Fort Jackson Army base. The McEntire Joint National Guard Base is less than 10 miles north of the community.
Country roads and ranch homes on spacious on lands
Single-story ranches make up a notable portion of the homes here and a number of them can be found at the end of either long driveways, off dirt roads or in the middle of large spaces near tire-worn paths leading to detached carports. But the community also has some newer and more dense developments going on. In the Willow Wind subdivision, a two-story and four-bedroom home with a two-car garage and covered porch at the front can go for $295,000, which is under the community’s average sale price of $341,614.

Go to Congaree National Park
Families can enjoy the recreation center at Hopkins Park just off Lower Richland Boulevard, where children can hit the playground or enjoy baseball and football games. The Hopkins Park Adult Activity Center, which is only open to adults ages 21 and over, offers socializing and fitness activities, as well as wellness education and other leisure experiences. Congaree National Park is also located less than 10 miles south. Visitors there can admire the biodiversity as they venture the largest intact expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the southeast United States. They can, among other activities, experience the national park by either kayaking or canoeing on Cedar Creek, spend the night by camping or simply stroll on a boardwalk to admire the forest and wetlands.
Congaree National Park is nearly 27,000 acres of protected habitat about 10 miles SE of Hopkins.
A strong JROTC program
