Beatty Downs Rd
Columbia, SC 29210

"Presence of County Police Loud Music late at night and early in the morning Total absence of maintenance and cleaning around the complex. kind of easy commute to the down town and access to the Hwy."

"A good location which is just a short drive from harbison or downtown. Comet is a great public transportation system that runs here and throughout columbia."

"I rarely see neighbor(s) who walking his/her dog to start with. I think this community is a medium to low income households "

"The traffic gets very busy during average to and from work commute along Broad River Rd. A lot of thru traffic to Irmo"

"I dont want dogs running loose in the area. there are dogs barking at all times in the night but only if they hear something. they are the alarm system in the neighborhood"

"It was once a very vibrant area (2 wonderful malls/major grocery store Kroger/nice well known restaurants until 24 yrs ago. The city and this zipcode business owners/home owners migrated to 29212 in 1989 with new shopping centers/a very large mall/ many on and around Harbison Blvd., building continuously near Lake Murray in 29212; their schools are #1 one of best in S.C., whereas, 29210 has inner city schools/ever closing restaurants/4 strip clubs/closed Outlet Center. One restaurant, Shoney's closed/re-opened for 1/2 day buffets/new cooking venture was to take open shortly backed out of the deal. Crime is very much of a serious nature with gang shootings along Broad River Road and Bush River Road. Too many cheap run down hotels are used by strip clubs dancers and transients with a number of illegal immigrants working in restaurants can't speak English living not only in run down hotels but several in small apartment by the clubs; a church moved across the street after KMart shut down; Three large sub-divisions became filled with crack users and prostitution ruining them. Lately, there are drive by shootings on Broad River Road seemed to settle down for a while. Those in apartments off Broad River and half way down Atlantic Drive experience lots of burglaries/car jackings/sun roofs stolen off cars even in gated communities. One apartment complex had their gates destroyed so many times, they left gates down with little protection for single women. Owners of apartment "homes" small/larger foreclosed/changed management companies/ owners. Houses foreclosed and still are on and off Atlantic. Broad River Township at the end of Atlantic Dr are still foreclosing their condos still on the river. The Bluff houses next to Broad River Twp behind their gate fed up with crime and nothing worth staying still foreclosing. Food Lion Grocery Store's unpopular. Lots 44/45: a house with constant renting has pool next to it still mosquito infested. There's many sex offenders in area."
