West Columbia Welcomes New Trailhead Townhomes Development
A buzz of excitement is in the air as West Columbia, SC gears up for a brand-new housing development called Trailhead Townhomes. This dazzling project promises to bring a fresh wave of community spirit and modern living to the area with 52 townhomes set to dot the landscape off the well-known Sunset Boulevard.
What’s in Store?
Located at 620 Sunset Boulevard, the site currently plays host to a janitorial equipment supplier, which has graciously agreed to relocate to make way for this exciting new venture. The West Columbia Planning Commission gave the thumbs-up for the project on Monday, setting the stage for what could be a delightful addition to the neighborhood.
Next Steps
With the planning commission’s approval in hand, the project is now on the radar of the West Columbia City Council. They will need to give it a green light in two readings, with the first reading potentially on Tuesday. It’s an essential step, and all eyes are on the city council to see how they move forward with this promising development.
Community Support
The Mayor has shared enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the pressing need for additional housing options in West Columbia. The new townhomes are expected not only to enhance living standards but also improve the overall aesthetics of the area, making it more inviting for both residents and visitors.
Connecting to Nature
One of the standout features of the Trailhead Townhomes development is its aim to create direct connectivity to the beautiful Moffatt Street riverwalk. This means that residents will have easy access to scenic views and peaceful walks along the river, making it a perfect spot for leisurely afternoons and family outings.
Details of the Development
The development will occupy just over three acres of land and will feature townhomes designed with convenience in mind. Each unit will come with designated parking spaces that can accommodate up to two cars in their driveways. But that’s not all—the vision for these townhomes includes a cozy mail kiosk for easy postal access and a well-planned buffer zone that adds privacy between the townhomes and the adjoining riverwalk parking lot.
In addition, the project will feature a vegetation buffer along Sunset Boulevard, complemented by a stylish brick wall, enhancing both aesthetics and security in the neighborhood. These thoughtful details aim to create a pleasant living environment that blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty.
