Columbia is the second-largest city in all of
South Carolina
and a wonderful place to call home! Here is a look at the best places to live in
Columbia
.
People who like hustle and bustle should consider living in the heart of downtown, as close as they can to the Congaree River. If you prefer a more suburban environment, you can consider instead an area like
Cayce
, which is west of the river.
The neighborhood that’s truly best for you is going to depend on who you are and what matters to you. Living close to work and cutting down on your commute may be a priority for you, while others might care more about living near spots they frequent, like favorite music venues and restaurants.
Regardless, Columbia is a popular place to live, and there are plenty of reasons for it. Outside of being the state capital, Columbia:
  • Is warm
  • Has a rich history
  • Has great food
  • Is just 3 hours from the beach
Once you’ve found where you want to live and
finished with your move
, your next step is to look at your car insurance. Moving to a new place could mean seeing your coverage rates spike, but
