 About Blythewood SC

Located 15 miles northeast of Columbia of South Carolina, Blythewood is the second fastest growing town in the Midlands.  Rural living with big city convenience is just part of Blythewood’s charm.  There are several large horse farms in the area with some of them holding events and competitions such as dressage in which local riders can compete.   The Town of Blythewood, South Carolina, is located in the northern part of Richland County – one of the most affluent counties in South Carolina and named the second fastest growing community in the Midlands by the 1990 U.S. Census.  Blythewood embraces its ‘small-town atmosphere’ while incorporating the residential, industrial and commercial growth in the I-77 corridor.

Blythewood is truly a unique community and one of the best-kept secrets in South Carolina. Its rural image is enhanced by the natural landscape, and residents’ protection of the natural resources and respect for nature, animals and wild life. Blythewood is committed to its rural, small-town atmosphere with all the ‘big’ town advantages.

Blythewood is rapidly becoming known as a great place to find quality antiques as well as a good bargain.  There are three treasure filled stores in town and another one just a short distance away on Main Street.  You can take a drive down roads with colorful names such as “Persimmon Fork” or Syrup Mill, and you will see that quiet family living is the rule, not the exception in this Northeast Columbia town.

Kings Grant is a non-traditonal Columbia SC Neighborhood, meaning that when you drive into this neighborhood, you enter through a main entrance and it is a planned community.  Kings Grant offers a community clubhouse, playground, pool, tennis courts, and lots of green space.  Homes in Kings Grant range in price from the mid 400’s to over 1 million and range in size from about 2700 square feet to more than 6000 square feet.  Obviously with this range of prices and sizes, there is surely something here to fit your needs.

Kings Grant is located just off I-77 which allows for easy access to all areas of Northeast Columbia as well as downtown Columbia and Fort Jackson, which is very close by.  The convenience to downtown Columbia along with that feeling of “getting away from the city” that this neighborhood offers is really part of the appeal.  Within minutes you can be in a trendy night club or an upscale restaurant, then back to that familiar and comfortable neighborhood feel.  Also close by you will find recreational opportunities, collegiate sports, cultural events, and educational opportunities. 

 

Feel free to search here for all available Kings Grant homes and contact one of our Columbia SC Real Estate Specialist for all of your home buying or selling needs.
