Beach Forest Village

Envision a time when neighbors knew each other and visited often; merchants greeted you by name as you entered their establishment; and a stroll along tree-lined sidewalks was the highlight of a summer evening. Small-town life is treasured in the memories of most South Carolina natives. At Beach Forest Village, we've managed to preserve small-town, low-country charm, while offering the convenience and opportunities of an urban area. In our Village, you will find security in your surroundings and a lifestyle of peace and tranquility. Beach Forest Village is a lifestyle concept designed to encourage traditional family values and activities. Special consideration for the needs and desires of the aging baby-boomer population is also a major part of our vision. Through careful long-range planning, coordination and development, our vision combines the low-country estate lifestyle with modern-day convenience. At Beach Forest Village, you can enjoy the best of both worlds! Location . . . Beach Forest Village is conveniently located off South Carolina Route 521, just east of Columbia, only 10 minutes from downtown Sumter, and five minutes away from the Highway 378 Thruway. Highlights . . . Beach Forest Village is a pedestrian-friendly community designed around "smart-growth" standards intended to ensure that everyday services and goods will be readily available inside the Village. Since the entire Village is designed for pedestrian activities, vehicular speeds and access will be effectively restricted, with golf carts and bicycles the preferred modes of transportation. Surrounded entirely by meticulously landscaped berms, the protected community will contain low-country native and compatible species of plants. Attractive, centrally located greenways and a forest on the northeast side of the Village will include trails for bird watching and other passive wildlife activities.
