Columbia named best place to live in SC by Travel+Leisure magazine

Travel+Leisure magazine has announced the nine best places to live in SC according to local real estate agents, and Columbia tops the list. South Carolina was the third fastest-growing state in the country in 2022, adding almost 90,000 new residents in a year.

Columbia is located in the heart of South Carolina, which Travel+Leisure says is a major benefit because residents are never too far away from the ocean or the mountains. Natural landmarks can also be found in the city, including Congaree National Park, Sesquicentennial Park, the Congaree River and Lake Murray.

“Factor in a pleasant climate, award-winning local restaurants, lively craft beer and music scenes, and a spirited festival schedule, and the popularity of Columbia is no surprise to those of us who live there,” Jill Moylan, owner and broker at Home Advantage Realty told Travel+Leisure. She also added that Columbia’s youthful energy is boosted by its many universities.
