Pontiac

The thriving community of Pontiac is right in the center of Columbia's dynamic and diverse Northeast. Some of Columbia's most popular neighborhoods are a short 15-minute drive away: Lake Carolina, Woodcreek Farms, Spring Valley, and many, many more. Also nearby is Blythewood, a classic Southern small town. The communities of Western Kershaw County are just as close: Haigs Creek, Taylor Oaks and others offer plenty of options for any homebuyer's budget. Looking for quality education? Richland County School District 2 and Kershaw County School District have set the standard for excellence in the Midlands. Thousands of families have relocated here for the schools alone. You won't run out of things to do in Pontiac. It's one short mile from the Northeast's shopping and entertainment hub, Village at Sandhill. In addition to the Midlands' best shopping and dining experience, you'll find festivals and outdoor concerts here nearly every weekend. The playgrounds and open fields of the Clemson Extension's Sandhills Research Institute, right across the street, are a hidden gem in the midst of suburban Columbia. Parks, farmers' markets and recreational facilities are all close by. Within a chip shot of Pontiac are more golf courses than you can shake a 9-iron at: WildeWood, Spring Valley, Woodcreek Farms, The Woodlands, Longcreek Plantation and Cobblestone Park are some of the Midlands' favorite golfing destinations. Yes, Pontiac has everything you're looking for, but should you need to visit the rest of Columbia, easy access to two major interstates will get you there in no time flat.
