This is an up and coming neighborhood being redeveloped by the City of Columbia. Like many historic neighborhoods, there are some homes with deferred maintenance among the new construction. But no worries, this neighborhood is completely safe and minutes from anywhere you want to be. We provide an attached parking lot, with overflow parking in the adjacent lot belonging to the neighboring church.
