Lake Carolina Neighborhood in Columbia, SC

[@freggo6604]

I moved here in July 2022 from Fort Lauderdale. What a HUGE improvement that turned out to be! Real Estate is more affordable and everybody is so friendly. I just found this video by chance and not only is it a great review of my new 'hood', I also found my house featured in it. Isn't that something 😄

Be sure to visit at night and on weekends to see the REAL activity in the neighborhood.

Is there a lot of crime and vandalism? im considering buying a home here but still unsure.

@victorh.p.3111 We were surprised by the activity in the neighborhood. Night before last, our next door neighbor's car was broken into. There are often young adults smoking weed in the neighborhood park across from the pool. Have seen petty vandalism. The traffic with racing cars is BAD! Have had 2 incidences of nearly being hit in crosswalks trying to access the walking paths. We are of the opinion that our experience is about 60%/40%--leaning more to the good, but be aware that you pay a pretty penny for these issues to be so prevalent.

@@S7Watson1 Thank you for the insight! We visited a few days ago, the area was gorgeous but i did notice there are no gated communities.. I feel this may be the reason for the issues you mentioned.
