Review of Columbia, South Carolina


Almost ideal. Could see myself moving back
Star Rating - 7/16/2023
Loved living in Columbia, SC prior to my job transfer. It's the perfect size - plenty to do, but still a laid back place. People are extremely friendly, there are beautiful neighborhoods, and it's easy to get around. It has a major university in the center of the city, so lots of young people mingling around, which makes it a fun, energetic place to live. It's beginning to get discovered though. SC is one the faster growing states and Columbia is still affordable, but this may change. Prior to moving, VW announced a $4B plant to build all-electric cars in Columbia area. This will likely be the beginning of a population explosion as more move to the area for these jobs. Would love to get back before that happens.
