Welcome to Columbia’s Front Porch

Located in the heart of Columbia, South Carolina, Elmwood Park combines the charm of an early 20th century neighborhood with both the convenience and excitement of downtown living. Our streets are lined with mature trees, shading residents and visitors alike as they stroll past beautifully restored homes and gardens.

We live on our front porches, and embrace a relaxed and sociable way of life. We are steps away from Main Street and the Vista, and only moments away from verdant greenways and rivers. Some of Columbia’s brightest cultural jewels are nearby, including the Columbia Museum of Art and the State Museum - it's all within minutes of Elmwood Park!

We invite you to sit a spell and join us in Historic Elmwood Park - Columbia's front porch.

Yard of the Month!

Every month, the Neighborhood Association honors one house with our Yard of the Month award. The Beautification Committee will tour the neighborhood during the last week on the month to select the following month's honoree. The Committee looks for a neat yard that has a vibrant array of color and is pleasing to the eye. Winners are announcement in our newsletter and on social media.
