1520 Senate St,
Columbia,
SC
29201
Columbia is South Carolina's capital city, positioned where the Saluda and Broad rivers converge to form the Congaree — a geographic detail that shapes both the city's layout and its outdoor culture. As the anchor of the state's Midlands region, Columbia draws its identity from three powerful forces: state government, the University of South Carolina, and Fort Jackson, the U.S. Army's largest basic training installation. Together, these institutions create a steady, diverse economy that keeps the rental market active year-round.
Neighborhoods across the city offer genuinely different experiences. The Vista delivers warehouse-style lofts near the South Carolina State Museum and the riverfront, while Five Points pulses with energy close to the USC campus.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
