Our home is located in West Columbia, SC in an area affectionately called “the Avenues.” West Columbia, or WeCo, is a vibrant neighborhood directly across the river from downtown Columbia. It is minutes from USC campus, Williams- Brice Stadium, and the South Carolina State House. WeCo has miles of beautiful riverside walking trails, delicious restaurants, the Riverbanks Zoo, and two awesome beer gardens!
Columbia was founded in 1805 and is the State capital of South Carolina. In more recent years, it has seen a boom in its arts culture, including its own film festival that is ranked in the top 20 film festivals in the US. Over 14 million people visit Columbia every year.
Often times, you may hear Columbia being referred to as Soda City. This comes from the US postal code abbreviation for the city, Cola. From Cola came Soda City, a moniker which locals have embraced. Welcome to Soda City!
Columbia is very much a driving town with tons of parking everywhere. If you don't have a car, there is Uber and Lyft which are easy to come by in our area. If you do have a car, free on-site parking for 2 cars is available at our house.
