Downtown Columbia Real Estate

Downtown Columbia SC is a clean, historic southern college town. In February 1865, much of Downtown Columbia burned to the ground as General Sherman’s soldiers marched through the city during the Civil War. Consequently, you’ll not find many homes built prior to that disaster. However, there are many lovely neighborhoods dating from the early 1900s. These are highly desirable properties in well-preserved areas with marvelous landscaping and ambience. New construction in downtown Columbia SC is limited, but you may be able to find a home in one of the modern gated communities on the outskirts of the city.
