Olympia, SC

Olympia is a historic mill village located just south of downtown Columbia and the University of South Carolina campus. Built around textile mills at the turn of the twentieth century, the area now attracts a mix of college students, young professionals, and longtime residents. Massive brick mills have found new life as modern loft apartments, surrounded by quiet streets of preserved worker cottages. Between its neighborhood museum, an active stone quarry, and a location minutes from Williams-Brice Stadium, Olympia retains a distinct industrial character while offering an easy commute.
