Small town on shirts of lake Murray - 8/7/2022
Excellent schools with superior ratings. Very clean community with a huge lake to use for boating. Ample amount of restaurants to visit that are both good and welcoming to new residents. Close proximity to Irmo and Columbia that both offer allot in ways of shopping malls and plazas without a congested landscape or traffic.
