    "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."

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."
