Not very familiar with the area. Looking for some advice.
1. What are the best school districts in the Columbia/Lexington area?
2. What are the best neighborhoods in the Columbia/Lexington area?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you being held against your will?

Kings Grant in forest acres is a very nice neighborhood
Governors Grant near Lexington is REALLY nice
Spring Valley in NE Columbia is a good option too
Wildewood in NE Columbia is also real nice, golf course hood
Westover acres in west cola is a good neighborhood
Saluda Chase is a good one near Westover
Charwood out near Pine Ridge is a good option too, good golf out there and closer to the woods for some hunting

Don't do it. Montgomery with none of the charm....horrible little town in a horrible little state. Even the redeeming areas of SC are shite....with the exception of some of the up country....

GG is in Lexington near the lake.
I highly recommend Lexington if you’re starting or have a family and for school districts go Lex 1. Not a long commute to Cola but very much a small town suburb vibe. Also, the lake is really close.
The development is moving from Lexington towards Gilbert on 378 or Hwy 1 but it gets real rural real quick.
Depending on what you want to spend anything north of I20 past the 378 exit headed west is good. South of I20 gets a little methy.
If that’s too far out you have to go up I26 to Chapin for nicer areas. I don’t know anything about Northeast Cola. Steer clear of Irmo....it’s in the decline.
If your looking for a hipster vibe with no kids you can go closer to Cola in West Columbia by the river but be prepared to pay for private schools.

You’re correct, It’s on old Chapin Road which is what mixes me up

Richland 1 School District in downtown Columbia is pretty terrible UNLESS you live in Forest Acres, Jackson Heights, Heathwood, or Lake Katherine. The Brennan/Satchelford - Crayton - AC Flora line is actually pretty good. All of those areas are 10-12 minutes east of downtown and very close to anything you would need.
I agree with the other posters that Lexington probably provides the most bang for your buck. Homes in most areas over there sell for around $110-$125/square foot vs $150 plus per square foot in the areas I listed above. Depends on what you are looking for.
Chapin and Blythewood are also great areas but are 30 minutes or so from down town.
