BullStreet District is in the center of everything

The BullStreet District is a 181-acre, mixed-use community growing on the former campus of the South Carolina State Hospital. While remnants of the historic architecture have been preserved, developers of the urban BullStreet District have enhanced the area by adding a park, restaurants and shops beside the residential housing. “It’s the perfect location for being in the center of everything,” says Chaka Sellers, an eight-year resident of Columbia and Realtor with Slate Realty. “You’re right beside Fireflies baseball games and a short distance from Soda City Market. The area is really starting to bloom.”

Walk to Starbucks, REI and more

As part of the neighborhood plan, restaurants and retail surround housing. Currently, locals can walk to Starbucks, Publico Kitchen and Tap and REI but more retail space is being developed. Construction is also underway on Iron Hill Brewery and The Sanctuary Food Hall, which is expected to hold more than a dozen restaurants for residents to enjoy. Other nearby dining includes Express China, offering standard American-Chinese takeout, and No Name Deli, a 30-year area staple known for its salads and toasted sandwiches. “On Saturdays, the Soda City Market has pretty much everything. There are food trucks and live performers; you can buy knick-knacks and fresh produce,” Sellers says. “I went last weekend and got some barbecue seasoning.” For groceries, BullStreet residents can drive to Publix or Food Lion, both around 2 miles away.

Townhouse options in the BullStreet District

The majority of housing in the BullStreet District is comprised of apartments, which come with amenities such as saltwater pools and yoga studios. There is also a senior living apartment complex. Those looking to buy townhouses can find two- and four-bedroom units with rooftop patios and private garages. The two-bedroom townhouses are listed in the $400,000s, and the four-bedroom ones often sell between $700,000 and $750,000.

Take your pup to the Page Ellington Dog Park

BullStreet residents have access to Page Ellington Park, a 20-acre park with a fenced-in doggie play area. The park follows Smith Branch Creek and encompasses a 2-acre pond, which has been planted with cattails and other water-loving greenery. Earlewood Park is just over 1 mile away; it has trails and a playground for children. From the neighborhood, all of downtown Columbia’s offerings are within a short drive, including the Columbia Museum of Art, the Township Auditorium and the Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park.

Carver-Lyon Elementary has a dual language magnet program

Public school options for BullStreet children include Carver-Lyon Elementary School, which earns a C-plus on Niche and has a magnet dual language immersion program with partial instruction in Spanish, Chinese or French. They later filter into C-minus-rated W.A. Perry Middle School — a STEM-focused school with a medical magnet program. That focus can continue at C.A. Johnson High School, which gets a C Niche score and also offers a health science magnet program. Nearby private school options include Saint Joseph Catholic School; it gets an A on Niche and serves students from kindergarten through sixth grade.

Columbia Fireflies games and more

Sports fans can enjoy Columbia Fireflies games at Segra Park, which is just steps away. The University of South Carolina has several sports venues throughout downtown as well. “I stay away from downtown during USC events,” Sellers says. “It gets pretty crowded, especially when they play against Georgia.” In November and December, Segra Park is covered in thousands of multi-colored lights, and locals can come to meet Santa, enjoy the beautiful lights and purchase a Christmas tree.

Publico is the perfect place for lunch or dinner before a Fireflies baseball game.

Comet buses and the Prisma Health Richland Hospital

The Central Midlands Transit (The Comet) buses stop along Bull Street every day — they run to and from the transit center, allowing locals to make connections around the city of Columbia. Those who commute by car will find several major roads nearby. “It’s easy to get to the highway from BullStreet,” Sellers says. About 9 miles west is the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, which offers direct flights to 10 major airports, including LaGuardia International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Those in need of medical services can find a Level I Adult Trauma Center and a Level II Trauma Pediatric Trauma Center just over a mile away at the Prisma Health Richland Hospital.

Area concerns

The BullStreet District is a new development in a historically high-crime area. The Babcock, which offers luxury apartments, was formerly an abandoned mental health facility. As more residents move into the area, additional foot traffic may lead to decreased crime levels. Richland County residents are considered to be at high risk of ice storms, per the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
