Lake Murray Living

The Irmo/Chapin area borders beautiful Lake Murray and is convenient to downtown Columbia by way of I-26.

There’s no shortage of dining, retail, or entertainment opportunities given the proximity to Harbison Boulevard, Bower Parkway and Columbiana Centre. And recreational activities abound with easy access to Lake Murray, beautifully wooded Saluda Shoals Park and Harbison State Forest, with walking and biking trails.

New homes are in demand in the Irmo/Chapin area because it includes some of the best public schools in the state — most award-winning with the highest test scores.
