The Avenues

Anyone seeking a home that was built to stand the test of time should look no further than the Avenues of Cayce and West Columbia. There, early 1900s bungalows form their own sort of village, a testament to the history of the Columbia area. The convenient location of the Avenues means that residents do not have to sacrifice city perks for spacious, quiet living.

The houses in the Avenues are equipped with big yards for entertaining. Those who live here can enjoy relaxing evenings at home with their families, watching the seasons pass by through large front windows. Exterior styles range from brick to vinyl siding. All of them have been carefully maintained and restored to suit modern needs without destroying original features like intricate molding and hardwood flooring. There are homes as small as 750 sq. ft. for the single and retiree crowd, then there are impressive estates at over 4,000 sq. ft. to accommodate larger families. Listings are generally available for as low as $70,000 and can exceed $400,000.

The Avenues is home to a diverse segment of the population. All of them enjoy various activities, including browsing the Cayce Riverwalk or sporting on the Congaree River. There are a number of annual parades and festivals that the community gathers to experience and lots of opportunities to explore Columbia's rich heritage.
