About Gilbert, SC
Gilbert, SC is a small incorporated town in western Lexington County, located approximately 20 miles west of downtown Columbia and 10 miles west of the town of Lexington. Gilbert sits along U.S. Highway 1 and SC Highway 6, with easy access to Interstate 20 via the Gilbert exit. The community is part of the rolling sandhills and farmland region of western Lexington County, an area historically known for peach orchards, soybean and cotton fields, and family-run agriculture that still defines much of the surrounding landscape.
According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, Gilbert has a population of approximately 565 residents within the town limits, though the broader Gilbert community — defined by the Gilbert ZIP code 29054 and the Gilbert school attendance zone — encompasses several thousand additional residents in the surrounding rural area. The town operates with a mayor-council form of government and provides its own administrative services, while relying on the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and surrounding fire districts for public safety.
Gilbert is best known across the state as the host town of the South Carolina Peach Festival, held annually on the Fourth of July weekend since 1959. The festival draws tens of thousands of visitors for the parade, peach-themed food, music, and the crowning of the Peach Festival queen, and it is one of the longest-running agricultural festivals in the state. Named neighborhoods and areas in and around Gilbert, SC include the historic downtown district along Main Street, Twin Lakes, Two Notch Estates, Summer Lakes, the Pond Branch community, and the rural areas of Mack and Steedman to the south.
Most working residents commute to employment in Lexington, West Columbia, Columbia, or the Saluda/Aiken corridor. Major regional employers include Lexington Medical Center, the South Carolina state government, the Savannah River Site, Amazon distribution facilities along I-20, and various Lexington County school and county-government employers. Students in Gilbert attend schools within Lexington County School District One, including Gilbert Primary, Gilbert Elementary, Gilbert Middle School, and Gilbert High School — all clustered along the Gilbert school campus.
Local features include the Peach Festival grounds, several family-owned peach stands and farms, and Lake Murray access points a short drive to the east. The housing market in Gilbert, SC is characterized by larger lots, rural acreage, and modest price points relative to closer-in Lexington suburbs.
Homeowners in Gilbert sometimes need to sell quickly due to estate transitions, deferred maintenance on older farmhouses, or relocation closer to Columbia-area employers.
