  • Asbilljm
    "Forest Acres is one of the most sought after communities in Columbia. It has great schools, great dining, shopping, it’s own Police Force and City Hall. The neighborhoods have large private lots, and the property values are among the highest of any community in the entire city of Columbia. Forest Acres has a true “neighborhood” feel, and is a great place for families, seniors, and young professionals to live. It’s centrally and conveniently located, but still has a community feel."

    "We live in one of the most convenient and sought after communities in all of Columbia. This area- (and specifically the street) has the privacy and seclusion of a neighborhood community, and the convenient accessibility to nearby shopping, dining and entertainment. We are 10 minutes away from three major interstates, as well as a 10 minute drive from downtown Columbia. Public transportation utilizes numerous nearby pickup/ drop points in the area."

    "This area is tucked away behind a busy street (Forest Drive) so you get the quiet streets while still being in town. There is shopping, grocery, restaurants, and bars all within walking distance. You are also within 15-20 min depending on traffic from major interstates, I-20, I-26, and I-77. 10 minutes away from downtown too! "
