Thank you for a great look at the lake... I am planning a trip with my family to Lexington, wee have a place right on the lake.
Thanks so much for sharing such excellent content.
My pleasure. I’m glad you are getting value from it.
Love your informative videos. Planning to move to the greater Lexington area the summer of 2027.
That will be here before you know it!
Another fantastic video, thank you!!!
Thanks again!
Great info, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it valuable.
We visited Lexington last week and your video describes it exactly the way we experienced it. Beautiful lovely town. Thanks for all the additional useful information.
I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to Lexington. If I can be of help on your next visit please let me know!
Thank you! I like the idea of living between Lake Murray and Columbia, 15 minutes from Lake Maury and about 20 minutes from Columbus, I like Oak Grove area. Would you agree that is about the mid-point between Lake Murrray and Colombia?
Oak Grove is half way between the two. A large portion of my clients prefer the area on the north side of I20 though.
@@MovingtoColumbiaSC More towards Seven Oaks?
Yes, or the area we call Hope Springs in Lexington. It all comes down to your budget. I wish I could attach a photo to show you!
Thanks for clarifying these two diverse areas.
@@mikeeno104 You’re most welcome.
Thank you again, for you in-depth information on Columbia and Lexington.
Any time! I think you may be my biggest fan. I very much appreciate you!
Well said. Thank you
I’m glad you found the information valuable. Thanks for watching!
another rode widening that'll just fill up with traffic in a year or so? When will the ONE MORE LANE idiocracy end
Thank you!
You’re so welcome! I really appreciate you watching my videos and being part of the community here. If there’s anything else you’d like to know or see in future videos, feel free to let me know!
Thank you!
Glad you continue to enjoy them!
Thank you, again for an informative video on SC...
Thank you, Mike! I'm so glad you are enjoying them.
I’m looking at moving to Columbia in the future. I see many YT bloggers in Florida who show graphs and statistics and trends monthly. Where are those bloggers in South Carolina and specifically Columbia? All I usually see are a few real estate agent bloggers who just come off as greedy salesmen trying to make a sale. I think Brandon should sell used cars. What I don’t need is sales pitches and flapping gums. Try showing sales charts. Thanks
Thanks for watching and I’ll try to incorporate those into a few of my videos.
Was that a Trump boat parade?
Save your time and money- don’t go
Or live in Lexington, schools are better.
Great job on covering all the cost of living expenses. 👍🏽‼️
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
u gotta have time stamps ma’am
What about Friarsgate?
Thank you for all the great info!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Don't move here it sucks karens, crap infrastructure, and drugs
Day and night I am troubled because of not getting work
I am living in a columbia from last two months but I am not getting any job can you help me please 😢
I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. What type of work are you looking for?
I’m from Irmo. The roads in Cuba exceed the quality of the roads in Irmo and SC. Cuba’s highway is better than any in SC. 2+2=5.
Awesome info, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You left off one of the best HARBORVIEW subdivision it Gate community in Prosperity sc .
I agree Harborview is a great neighborhood. We have so many wonderful Lake Murray neighborhoods it’s hard to choose sometimes.
Lexington is a great place to live. Recently moved to the area and enjoy the fact that its not crowded and alot of trees and cleaner air. Even though it is a lower cost of living the cons i would say is the limited job opportunities and low pay scale in specific job roles. However it is very peaceful there as well.
I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying living in Lexington!
Isn’t Columbiana Mall closed? Native of Columbia here, moved away years ago, now living in Beijing but thinking of moving back to Columbia. I saw a video several yrs ago about the demise of Columbiana.
Columbiana Mall is still open in the Irmo area. You may thinking of Richland Mall in the Forest Acres area. That one closed a few years ago. They currently bulldozing it down and transforming it into a community park and business area. The plans for it looked spectacular! Thanks for watching.
We bought our 5 bedroom 3 bath house in Irmo last July and will move there next month. Our himeowner's insurance is $2,200 per year and half of that cost is for "wind and hail" coverage. i called the agent and was told that they don't have any companies that will insure without that coverage. The house is 24 years old and never had any kind of wind or hail damage. Does anyone know of an agency that offers homeowners insurance without wind and rain coverage? Also, what do you mean by the people are red in Florida? If red means conservative, aren't the people also red in SC?
I'm sorry to hear about the high costs of your homeowner's policy. Most people want wind and hail coverage, which is the cause of most claims. I don't know your situation, but the house sounds like your home may have been vacant or rented since you purchased it last year, influencing your insurance premium. Yes, both states are red politically but I've had clients that have left Florida because it was "too red" for them. Thanks for watching.
Jill is absolutely the most amazing agent - she just helped us find our dream home and has helped us with so much more along the way. Relocating from Texas to South Carolina - she made our move feel more like an adventure than a giant leap.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to have been part of your adventure. Welcome to South Carolina! 🏡😊 Don't forget my Client for Life Program that I designed to provide ongoing support and personalized service well beyond the closing date!
1. It’s hot as b a l l s in the summer!
can you make a video on west columbia
I sure can make a video on WECO. Give me a couple of weeks to put one together.
Rigorous academic instructions? At Irmo? Not for over a decade lady.
Hello, How is the rental demand for SFH in Columbia? For ex. 4bd home 2.5 bath Thank you
Rentals can have a pretty tight market for SFH. Admittedly, I don’t handle rental properties, so I am not an expert.
Hello, Is there a rental demand for SFH? I notice there are nice homes with HOA, are HOA landlord friendly? Thank you
Most HOAs are landlord friendly. You need to be careful in some condo communities though.
After living in Lake Carolina for a year, seems like almost on a weekly basis, school lockdowns, car thefts, attempted child kidnappings, shootings on Hardscrabble Road, Killian and Clemson Roads. Thugs harassing shoppers at Sand Hills, it’s all getting too much. Police are to frighten to clamp down crime for fear of being labeled. Columbia, you get what you tolerate.
Your math is flawed. If there is a rate of 35 per one thousand residents, then you don't have a 1 in 35 chance of being a victim. If the rate were 35 crimes per 35 residents, you would have a 1 in 35 chance.
Thanks for watching and paying attention! I’d have to look at my notes from Neighborhood Scouts that provided the data but I believe the 35 in 1000 was for crimes to a person. The one in 28 was for crime involving a property or on a person. If I did misinform or mislead in any way I apologize.
How many black people? Baltimore kind of ruined neighborhoods that are all black.
Some are ok just not like everywhere you turn thanks
Than you!
You’re welcome. I hope it provided valuable information to you.
We’re looking at relocating to the Columbia area and even perhaps just outside of it.
I’d be happy to assist you with locating to the Columbia Midlands.

Everything is expensive now,FJB
Prices have gone up in the last few years. But they have everywhere else too.

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed.

Looking for a 2 bedroom house on the lake for 350,000. Must have direct access to lake. And a boat dock
Please send me a PM with your contact information. I'd be happy to let you know when one pops up on the market. There aren't many for under $350k anymore. Maybe 6 a year so be ready when one does!

Great job
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Is it hotter or more humid than southern texas?
My clients from Houston say it’s a lot hotter there. Hard to imagine since it’s pretty hot and humid in the Columbia Midlands.
