Columbia, South Carolina offers a mixed bag of pros and cons for its residents. On the positive side, the city boasts a vibrant cultural scene, with numerous museums, theaters, and historic sites. The cost of living is relatively affordable, making it an attractive destination for those seeking affordability. The climate is generally pleasant, with mild winters and hot summers. However, the city also has its downsides. Columbia's public transportation system is limited, and traffic congestion can be a challenge. Crime rates in certain areas are higher than the national average, raising safety concerns for some. Additionally, the city's education system has room for improvement, which can be a concern for families with children. Ultimately, the decision to live in Columbia depends on individual priorities and preferences.

I did basic training at Ft. Jackson in 1990 Showed up in July being an 18 year old kid from Wyoming that was my first experience with humidity and that type of heat I thought I was going to die lol. I'm not talking bad about SC I also went to AIT there the weather seemed to start getting pleasant about the end of September

What are the best areas and neighborhoods to live?

Thanks for making this. My family and I are contemplating a big move from Arizona this year and a couple job opportunities in Columbia have drawn our attention. I'm just beginning my research but so far I'm astonished by the quality of homes and reasonable pricing. The city looks very pretty as well and the idea of having a flagship university right there for our soon-to-be high-school student is very enticing. Is the air quality a negative, in your opinion? I understand the South in general is prone to inversions that lead to increases in ozone and other pollutants.

@HomesoftheUpstate 3 ай бұрын

I'll admit, I haven't watched air quality that much, I haven't heard of it being bad...except for pollen levels, they are off the chart in the spring! (They get me, so I take allergy meds from now till almost June) Columbia is sorta in a bowl, but you could also look outside of it in Lexington, or really most directions. I'd be happy to chat if you want to talk at some point.

I am planning to move to Lexington. Can you please share your thoughts about this suburb?

@HomesoftheUpstate 3 ай бұрын

Lexington can be a great place. It's growing for sure, lots of movement that direction from Columbia in the last decade. I just had people move there and they love it. It's really a suburb of Columbia with good access to the Capitol if that's important to you. It is going to be money saving to move there vs. some areas of Columbia/Greenville/beach cities. That can really get more bang for your buck. I'd be happy to speak if you'd like to call during the day. :D

All due respect to your Pro list but entertainment, cultural events and outdoor activities are extremely underwhelming for the Capital City. The Vista and Five Points should definitely be in the Cons list.
