About West Columbia, SC
West Columbia, SC sits in eastern Lexington County directly across the Congaree River from downtown Columbia, connected by the historic Gervais Street Bridge. The city covers approximately 9.47 square miles and shares borders with Cayce to the south, the City of Columbia to the east across the river, and the towns of Lexington and Springdale to the west. Together with Cayce, West Columbia anchors what locals refer to as the “Triangle” area of the Midlands, and the Columbia Metropolitan Airport lies just minutes from the city’s southern edge. The 2020 U.S. Census recorded 17,416 residents, a 16.2% increase over the prior decade, with a median age of 40.4 years.
West Columbia’s most recognized district is the New Brookland Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district was platted in 1894 as a planned residential community for workers at the Columbia Duck Mill, one of the first hydroelectrically powered textile mills in the country. The Saluda Factory Historic District is also listed on the National Register. Named neighborhoods and corridors include Brookland-Cayce, the State Street arts and dining district, Triangle City, Quail Hollow, Hook’s Pond, Saluda River Estates, Westover Acres, and the riverfront mixed-use development simply called Brookland. The State Street corridor has been redeveloped into one of the Midlands’ most walkable urban districts.
Major employers in and around West Columbia include Lexington Medical Center, Amazon’s distribution operations, Nephron Pharmaceuticals, the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, and a heavy concentration of state government and logistics employers across the river. Many residents commute into downtown Columbia, the University of South Carolina, or Fort Jackson. Public schools are served primarily by Lexington School District 2, including Brookland-Cayce High School, Northside Middle School, and Wood Elementary, plus Airport High School in nearby West Columbia.
Local attractions include the West Columbia Riverwalk, part of the four-mile Three Rivers Greenway running through West Columbia and Cayce; the SC State Farmers Market in nearby West Columbia/Lexington; and the Saluda Shoals Park network upriver. Housing stock leans heavily toward early-to-mid-twentieth-century mill cottages, brick ranches built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and a growing number of new infill townhomes and condos near the Riverwalk. Some homeowners in West Columbia, SC inherit older mill-era homes that need substantial repairs, face rising property taxes on long-held parcels, or are downsizing and want to sell as-is rather than rehabbing.
