Forest Acres balances small-city ease with big-city access, set just minutes from Columbia in Richland County. Streets shaded by mature trees wind past longtime favorites and new spots along Forest Drive, with everyday conveniences and local dining anchored by Trenholm Plaza. Outdoor time comes naturally thanks to the Gills Creek corridor—supported by the Gills Creek Watershed Association—and quick escapes to Sesquicentennial State Park for trails, paddling, and picnics.
Families value the strong school options served by Richland School District One, including noted campuses such as A.C. Flora High, Crayton Middle, and Satchel Ford Elementary. Higher education and cultural energy are close at hand at the University of South Carolina, putting lectures, arts, and Gamecocks athletics within an easy drive.
Weekends can be as relaxed or as full as you like: stroll neighborhood streets, catch a city-hosted event via the City of Forest Acres, or explore regional favorites like Riverbanks Zoo & Garden. Everyday commutes are streamlined, and proximity to Fort Jackson adds employment and services. Nearby districts such as Shandon and Five Points expand your choices for coffee, dining, and nightlife.
From classic brick homes to updated townhomes, housing options fit a range of lifestyles and budgets. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, Agent Pronto can connect you with a proven local agent to navigate buying or selling in Forest Acres with confidence.
