Shandon
What it’s like to live in Shandon
Academic energy buzzes near the University of South Carolina's historic Horseshoe. Renters score antebellum mansions converted to apartments but face gameday parking chaos during SEC football weekends. The hidden gem? Free summer concerts at the never-crowded Maxcy Gregg Park.

Wales Garden
What it’s like to live in Wales Garden
Historic prestige defines Wales Garden, where this distinguished Columbia neighborhood showcases impressive architecture from the early 20th century just minutes from the University of South Carolina. Though primarily owner-occupied, rental opportunities occasionally appear in divided historic homes and smaller apartment buildings. While the area offers exceptional access to both Five Points entertainment and university facilities, rental rates rank among Columbia's highest with limited inventory creating competitive application processes. Particularly appealing to professionals and faculty seeking sophisticated surroundings who can justify premium rates for historic character and strategic positioning between major Columbia destinations despite limited rental availability.
