The charming and eclectic neighborhood of Congaree Vista represents the heartbeat of Columbia's art scene. Located in the middle of Columbia, on the banks of the Congaree River and just north of the University of South Carolina, this neighborhood blends hip and modern amenities with historic roots and well-preserved buildings.
Anchored by the South Carolina State Museum, and focused around the Gervais Street Corridor, Congaree Vista has transformed over the last few decades from abandoned warehouses to an upscale travel destination. Gorgeously restored historic buildings, lush streets lined with magnolias, progressive art galleries, and independent shops and eateries characterize this popular neighborhood on the Congaree River.

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.
