About Cayce, SC
Cayce, SC sits along the western bank of the Congaree River directly across from downtown Columbia, in the heart of the Midlands. The city covers approximately 17.7 square miles, of which about 16.9 square miles is land, and straddles both Lexington and Richland counties. The 2020 census recorded 13,781 residents, representing roughly 10 percent growth over the previous decade and reflecting Cayce’s position as a close-in suburb of Columbia and a hub for Columbia Metropolitan Airport-area employment.
Cayce’s neighborhoods range from older riverfront and rail-corridor districts to newer subdivisions. The Avenues, the city’s traditional in-town residential area, sits between State Street and the Congaree River and features early-twentieth-century bungalows and cottages. The River Arts District anchors a revitalizing stretch of historic Cayce with murals, public art, and small businesses. Springdale, just south of the city, is known for brick ranch homes and newer subdivisions, while the Arthurtown area sits near Williams-Brice Stadium and the University of South Carolina campus across the river. Pine Ridge extends Cayce’s footprint into a more suburban-rural setting closer to the airport.
The city’s economy is shaped by its proximity to Columbia, Columbia Metropolitan Airport, and several large institutional employers. Dominion Energy South Carolina is headquartered in Cayce and is among the city’s largest employers. Other significant economic drivers include logistics and distribution operations clustered near the airport along with Lexington Medical Center facilities just outside the city. Many Cayce residents commute across the Gervais Street and Blossom Street bridges to downtown Columbia, the State House complex, and the University of South Carolina. Public education is operated by Lexington County School District Two, which includes Brookland-Cayce High School, Airport High School, and several feeder elementary and middle schools.
The city’s signature amenity is the Cayce Riverwalk, a roughly 12-mile hiking and biking trail along the Congaree River that connects to the West Columbia Riverwalk and Three Rivers Greenway system. Other features include the Timmerman Trail, the Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve with its trails through wetland and Native American archaeological sites, the Guignard Brick Works (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), and the Cayce Historical Museum. Housing stock in Cayce, SC ranges from 1920s-1940s cottages in The Avenues to mid-century brick ranches and newer two-story homes in subdivisions closer to the airport.
Some property owners in Cayce face inherited homes in older riverside neighborhoods, deferred-maintenance properties, or relocations tied to Dominion Energy or airport-area employers, and a portion of those homeowners look to sell quickly without a traditional listing process.
