I love living in forest acres, easy access to downtown and to Fort Jackson. I really enjoy living in my neighborhood. It’s a good sign you when your neighbors can enjoy an evening stroll and feel safe.
I like the environment and how everyone seems to know each other in a way. A lot of southern hospitality. I also adore the growth and urbanization of the area. A lot of new and popular stores are popping up left and right.
Forest Acres is a great neighborhood to live in especially with kids from elementary to high school ages. You are close to the best schools in Columbia, plenty of parks are nearby, and there is an amazing social atmosphere including places to eat and shop like Trenholm Plaza. The location is perfect since you can easily get on the interstate or head downtown within a matter of minutes.
