US 378 in Lexington SC - The Latest Retail Hub

BOOM.

That's what happened last year as US 378 (Augusta Highway) between Interstate 20 and SC 6 (North Lake Drive) became one of the fastest growing retail areas in the Columbia/Lexington area.

Delawese Fulton of The State newspaper in Columbia called it "the next prime shopping spot" in her Sunday Business article "Lexington: The road to growth". She also listed the retail stores which opened up shop in 2007:

Target
Home Depot
Best Buy
PetSmart
Lane Bryant
Wingate Inn
Verizon Wireless
Ruby Tuesday’s
Baker Bros.
Bruegger’s
Handpicked
Swank
Sports Clips
Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina
Five Guys Famous Burgers & Fries
Sports Clips
Travania’s

"An influx of young professionals and families has boosted the Lexington US 378 corridor's population by about 20 percent and its average household income by a third to nearly $80,000..." said Fulton. The residential growth in the neighborhoods of Lexington has attracted both national and local retailers.

One thing about the new retail areas of Columbia/Lexington is that they don't appear to be centered in and around malls like they used to be. Richland Fashion Mall (I can't keep up with the names of that one), Dutch Square Mall, Columbia Place Mall, Columbiana Mall in Harbison - these were the big retail centers. Columbiana and its surrounding stores still appear to be thriving. But the newer retail areas like The Village at Sandhills and now the Lexington corridor are not built around a mall. Perhaps people like to be outside a little more... If Lexington did have a mall, I imagine it could be called "The Lexx" - maybe that's what we'll call the Lexington Corridor!

Using the CARD to analyze your address

The large majority of the residents with 29072 as their zip code are zoned for Lexington County School District One.

To find out if your address is zoned for Lexington One, you can reference the "County Address Range Directory" or CARD. The CARD also shows if your address is in a municipality, which ZIP code, which county council district, and which post office. The CARD is available as PDF and is updated regularly.

To use the CARD, click on this link to open the file: CARD

Considering that it is currently 125 pages long, the easiest way to find your address is to type the name of the street in the Find section under Edit or on the toolbar. I would suggest just typing the street name without the ending description of road or drive for best results.

Neighborhood of the Week - Cherokee Lakes

Cherokee Lakes was originally developed around 1990. However, most of the homes in the neighborhood have been built in the last 10 years and there is still new construction going on. Although the entrance is at Ball Park Road, the neighborhood does not actually start until you get to the intersection of Leaning Pine Trail and Vanderbilt Road.

Homeowners in Cherokee Lakes have access to Oswald Pond.

Cherokee Lakes is also very close to the ball fields, public gym, tennis courts, and recreation areas on Ball Park Road.

Lexington SC Lot Prices

Lot and Land prices in Lexington SC 29072 have really jumped up in the last few years. While there used to be plenty of selection in the $30-50k range for good sized lots, the supply is very limited now.

That $76,500 price tag gets you a lot in a neighborhood ranging from 1/4 to just over 1/2 of an acre. Of course every lot and every neighborhood are different so there are bigger lots out there with smaller price tags. As they say, "Location, location, location...".
