With seven lakes and its location alongside the east side of Sesquicentennial State Park, this neighborhood takes its outdoorsy-ness seriously. Locals love to fish, hunt and just lounge around the water to enjoy the peaceful tidings of nature.

Arcadia Lakes sits between Highway 20 and Highway 77, located less than 12 miles from downtown Columbia. The neighborhood affords easy access for weekend travel upstate or further into the country, and the combination of natural settings and ample work opportunities make this neighborhood an ideal location for work lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
