Homes for Sale in the Earlewood Neighborhood of Columbia, SC and Area Information

Earlewood is a historic neighborhood located in downtown Columbia, South Carolina’s state capital.  Originally owned by the Geiger family, the Earlewood Neighborhood was named after the Columbia attorney John Earle who assisted in the acquisition of the land for the city. 

During the 1800’s this area was primarily a farming area, and some homes are still in the traditional farm house style.  Today, the houses found in Earlewoodencompass many of the architectural styles of the past 150 years including farm houses, two-story Victorians, craftsmen bungalows, brick Shandon- style, ranches and new homes.  In the 1990′s Earlewood saw a resurgence of new construction as new homes were built with the charm and character of older homes.   Homes typically range in size from about 1200 square feet to 2500 square feet.

The Earlewood Community Citizens Organization (ECCO) was formed in 1977—one of the first neighborhood associations in Columbia. Some of the main goals of the very active ECCO include promoting community involvement and pride as well as maintaining the historical charm and character of the lovely neighborhood.
